My 3d

Frances Lambe

I've been looking up work from Frances Lambe in relation to my ceramics work.. I find hers very interesting as it is similar to what I am doing at present.. Here are some pictures of her work..

this image is especially similar to my vessel which I have started on. Tonight I made a wire structure with three balls connecting together similar to this!

Ceramics

Yesterday I began my 2 weeks of Ceramics. We started off the day by recieving our brief in which we all recieved different images to base our work on. When we had studied it, using ink and bamboo, we drew out designs - some of them based on our work. I enjoyed working with the bamboo as I had never used it before. Using the ink, I planned out the design in which I wanted my clay vessel to take.

 Today we went to the Ceramics room and began actually working with the clay. Using 5 similar shaped balls of clay we began creating the stages of our vessel development before actually creating the real piece. This was interesting as I found you could really see a transformation in all the stages. Here are some images of my work :)

Emma Johnson Artist

Today I was looking at work from Emma Johnson. I found some of it linked in with my work especially my lino prints and some of the earlier stuff I have done.

My Journey from Parkville Court to LSAD in A1 pictures

In order to create these images, I used mainly marker, pen and paint.

My work from November/December..

Since my progress review, and after I decided to begin a new direction, I have been still keeping the theme of maps but incorporating things like rubbish into it in which I found on my journey to and from college. As I explained earlier on in the blog, I wanted to encorporate more detailed drawing and painting into my work. In order to combine these two things together, I began transforming the images of different litter into a type of map formation. In the above image, I created a college dealing with rubbish and maps to help show the direction I was taking. I then photocopied it making it even more interesting as it was seen in 2d form.

The first piece of rubbish I found on my journey to college was an apple core. After working on a few things in my sketchbook using paint, charcoal and other mediums I did a large scale painting of it and using a line with ''Parkville Court'' on one side, and ''LSAD'' on the other I painted in the area in which I found it. As I began finding other interesting objects like a coke can, crisp packet, bananna skin and cigarette butt, I used the same idea of combing the map as well as keeping the theme of a journey to and from college. Each colour I used to mark in where the object was found now represented that object in a way similar to the way maps sometimes work. Here are some things I have been working on over the past few weeks... :)

Contour drawings of apple cores

Crushed coke cans with a line underneath symbolising the area from my apartments to college where the can was found.

To create a road like surface on this I used tissue papper mixed with pva glue along with black acrylic paint. I then did the can in pontillism..

Prints I did on the map of Limerick..

For these prints I combined acrylic paint with red ink to see what the results would be. They didn't print very well but I still think they are effective and make you take a second glance..
