Sculpture Ranking Project
Well this project began with us collecting images and information for a powerpoint presentation on the human body. That was quite fun and different, i had never made a powerpoint presentation before that. The week after i experimented a bit, and made what looked like miniature dripping machines made out of matchsticks, paper straws, acetate and red ink. I had a lot fun making these structures. The point of these pieces was to show the disconnected and complicated journey in which the ink had travelled. Next, i made a sculpture completely out of wooden skewers, I wanted it to look very complicated and confusing, i believe i achieved this. From that sculpture i began to work on two new sculptures today based on it. Except the difference will be that they are different shapes. I will develop this more and will write soon :)

update!
Working on quilting and embroidering at the moment..really enjoying that! im quilting with any piece of fabric i can lay my hands on and im beginning to try out embroidering, it seems to work well on a canvas. Also finished a few 3-D pieces. I feel my project is coming together now finally. Will have more to add in a few days.

Project Update!
Today I made another tonal painting out of a small section of the window mainly focusing on the opening mechanism. I also began making 3-D wire models of the window, I am excited about doing some 3-D work for a while as I have not done much so far in that area for this project. I would like to make a large scale model out of bamboo sticks and acetate or perspex!At the moment, I am focusing on getting the small scales looking right first and later on will work on a bigger scale.
Thats all for now!
Thats all for now!

The Urban Environment
I started some tonal works last week like i previously wrote about,im starting to see my source in a different light now,i am looking at its tectures and its structure more than anything else so i think my next step after my tonal studies should be 3-D studies. Possibly making the window out of wire,paper straws,etc anything that will explore its form further!Will update on this new idea soon =)

Monday (project)
Practised more on watercolour painting today,starting to enjoy it more now i know how to do it!Hopefully my series of different types of painting will be finished tomorrow evening, so i can get started on A1 sized paintings. I also want to do different types of tonal works, including ink which is something i have not worked with yet so that should be interesting. I will get all this work done this week, i am determined to achieve that.Will update my progress later on in the week.
