Sculpture Elective.

To Expand

To Pop ... Of course, I decided to work with bubbles...

Photos of bubbles. 
After a while I added colour to the bubble mixture to make it a little more interesting! 

I made a 3D piece from plastic bags to symbolize bubbles.
I blew some bubbles to try make them stick to the surface and make this experiment interesting.

I used the coloured bubble mix when blowing the bubbles, the colour began to stick to the surface creating a nice glowing effect.

My one day project finished piece and my wall at the end of the two weeks....

The one day project result ^^^

My wall ready to be assessed !

Print Elective !

The Brief for the print elective was defining your personal space. I chose my purse to be the theme of this two week project. First, I made a series of sketches which were followed by dry point prints.

My first dry point prints...

A red roll over....

COINS......

Mirrors, drips and a magnifying glass.....

I used two pieces of glass to create a
triangle shape so the sides would reflect each other. I them started dripping nail varnish down the sides, its thick texture was perfect for achieving the slow dripping appearance. 

 I layered different colours one on top of another. The colours mixed and blended creating an effect that I was very pleased with.

 I added four colours altogether. 

Drips complete.....now its time to add the magnifying glass....

Movement of ....Fluids? !? Yes, that's right I have decided to change my theme slightly....

I was working with fluids a lot in order to describe the movement of  time. These experimentation's have made me interested in studying the movement of fluids further for the remaining weeks before the assessment! Here are some photos of my first experiment........


You will need.... a glass of water, oil, water-colour paint and a spoon...

 I mixed the oil with the paint and used a syringe to drop the mixture into the water....

At first the water didn't mix full with the water.... I kept trying and it started turning into small beads as it fell into the water, I will post the video once I have tried to edit it. 

The beads of oil and paint flowing to the surface

Video of the blob experiment :P

New Dripping Blobs Experimentation

I made a mixture of water, flour and water colour paint. I poured this fluid into two separate bags. I suspended these bags above a white cotton material, made a small hole in the bags and recorded the fluid flowing onto the material.

The set up.......

And the result......

Artists!!!!

Julie Tremblay "Poetic Figures"

-Canadian Artist, Sculptor

-Floating Figures raised questions upon space, mortality, body perception, power & sensibility.

-Contain a mythical sense

-Made of hundreds of metallic pieces

-The sculptures transparency and the way it reflects the light make the figures to appear moving

-Transmits a sense of loneliness.

Louise Bourgeois

-French American Artist and sculptor 

In late 1940s she became interested in sculpting.

Although she worked in an abstract way her work resembled figures.

Themes such as betrayal, anxiety and loneliness, which was inspiration that stemed from a childhood trauma, her fathers betrayal to her mother.

More CONES

Drawing onto tracing paper using pen.

My Studio Space!! Large pencil drawing, tea bag experiment, cones made from brown paper and dipped into wax, I will use these for my next 3D piece!

Sketchbook, idea development

Experimentation with different material, developing new ideas.

 Used a tea bag in the same way as I used my body clock model. Experimented in my sketchbook.

 Focusing on the fluids dripping out of the cones. First model was made with salt, so I thought testing effects of different fluids would be interesting.
