ART FOUNDATION - BY COINCIDENCE OR BY DESIGN

Basically a project inspired by the PLACEBO lyrics " by coincidence or by design "

THE ART OF THE ACCIDENT

This project was a one day project. We were given the brief, and we had to choose a theme from a list as a starting point. I think our starting point was ' mad drawing or mark making device.'

We talked about the idea of a catapult firing paint as a mark making device. We liked the idea of this as it would be quite random and fit in with the 'HAPPY ACCIDENT' theme. We then started talking about 'painting by numbers,' and how the precision of the 'painting by numbers' was the total opposite to the catapult idea. We then arrived at the idea of dropping paint from above out of balloons. We wanted a blank canvas for the paint to fall onto, but for the objects to be randomly (accidentally) covered in paint.

There should be a video to this, but some retard didn't push the record button.

Objects pre-paint

Dropping the paint

Our paint masks

We were all very pleased with this one day project despite the video recording going wrong. I think we will re-do it, but with better execution and some tweaks.

BASKETBALL AT THE BEACH - 30th Jan 2010

We make a quick stop at the library on the way, so coach Sulley can re-familiarise himself with the rules of the game.

Hugo and Ojay decide they'd rather dance with each other than play basketball.

The claws - great technique

DUNBY

Coach is not pleased

INSPIRATION

For this project we had to choose a quote, and then create imagery around this quote. My quote was ''It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation.'' I looked at how people like to express their originality in their footwear, and whether or not they were original.

PHOTOGRAPHY

Some photos i took in the first term.

BUILDING BLOCKS

For this project we had to produce an A3 educative poster on the basics of typography. This piece above was my reworked final piece. I changed the colourways, positioning of the diagrams, and column lengths.

These are 4 different colour variations on the final piece.

This was my original final piece.
