For the legs plasticine was sculpted around a piece of wire to the shape desired, and then a soft mesh kind of material was wrapped tightly around it and pressed in to create a scaly texture

# data[].attributes.body
Next, cling film was wrapped around the middle of the body to give it some structure, then plasticine was moulded on top to the shape of the body in the design

# data[].attributes.body
To give some support to the soft plasticine shapes I added a layer of mod rock on to the body of the model, so that when placed down to stand on it's own the plasticine did not lose it's shape. At this stage I also added the masking tape around the arms, trying to keep the texture rough where I could.

# data[].attributes.body
While experimenting with different materials one that I found worked really well was a soft mesh material pressed into plasticine. It created quite a scale like effect which I found to be quite appealing

# data[].attributes.body
In the process of picking materials I wanted to use I had a play around with sticking some things together like plasticine and wool to see how well they would stick, also some other tests like how well the plasticine bends with the wire and some other materials too

# data[].attributes.body
The arm idea was to wrap around masking tape and then paint over it, before this I had to test and see the best method for wrapping around so that the texture was still there but the sticky side wasn't facing up which could mess with how well the paint would stick

# data[].attributes.body
For the marquette I used wire to create the backbone of the main shapes the model would take, and then used masking tape to secure them together

# data[].attributes.body
Put into small groups, we were given different images and had to order them in any way we wanted and annotate with our responses/thoughts about them

# data[].attributes.body
We were given two objects and asked using pastels to turn one into the other

# data[].attributes.body
From the poem before-hand, we had to make an assembly of different items found around the room to represent it. Then we were asked to draw a character to represent it too

# data[].attributes.body
As a class we cut different words/phrases from magazines and put them in a hat, which we then got given randomly and tasked to create a poem from them

# data[].attributes.body
In pairs we had to make a portrait of the other using object found around the room

# data[].attributes.body
We were each given an object to draw, each time by a different method and media

# data[].attributes.body
We were asked to pick a word at random and tried making colleges with magazines to represent the word

# data[].attributes.body
Starting at the desk we were sitting we had to go on a walk to a place of our choosing (e.g chair to dumbo circus)

# data[].attributes.body
We had to pick from one of our previous images and make a character design inspired by it

# data[].attributes.body
We went around a museum on a website and were asked to take photos of the objects in the museum with different things found around our houses

# data[].attributes.body
From the objects previously guessed, we had to create a storyboard of a small scene incorporating those objects

# data[].attributes.body
To break the ice we were asked to get an object that was important to us, and we played a guessing game with them to try and guess each other's objects from just descriptions

# data[].attributes.body
We swapped drawings 4 times around the room, each time with a different person modelling and prompt.
The first drawing we did was with a continuous line, then straight edge only, collage, then only circles

# data[].attributes.body
After the last activity, we had to choose one of the drawings to recreate with wire

# data[].attributes.body
We made a spider diagram of words/things that came to mind when thinking about the prompt "Dreamlike & Distorted"

# data[].attributes.body
Over the 2 week break, we were asked to research 2 different artists from the ones we were given

# data[].attributes.body
Using our acrylic paints, we were tasked with trying to create secondary and tertiary colours, as well as trying to match 3 colours from the previous college moodboard we made

# data[].attributes.body
Using collage we picked a word from our mindmap and made a moodboard for it

# data[].attributes.body
Using the previous sketch of the character that might be found in our space, we made a small armature of them

# data[].attributes.body
I started by using wire to get the main shape of the character, then covered in cling film to fill any gaps so the next step went easier. I then covered the cling in mod rock using the bandaid like material and water to solidify it

# data[].attributes.body
We had a sketch of a character that might be found in the spaces we designed and created

# data[].attributes.body
I drew a girl in a raincoat that might be found playing in the garden I designed

# data[].attributes.body
We began making the plans we had for our spaces out of clay

# data[].attributes.body
I didn't get to finish the house or foliage on my space however what I did get done already looks like it's own space. I made everything as smooth as I could

# data[].attributes.body
We made a space of our choice and on an A1 piece of paper planned out and drew the front and top views of the space

# data[].attributes.body
I drew a small garden with a pond, and a bridge over the pond which would lead to a little hut

# data[].attributes.body
We were given soap and different tools to carve the soap to represent something

# data[].attributes.body
My original idea was too complex so I flipped it over to the other side and carved some flowers & vines

# data[].attributes.body
I wanted to make the vines/flowers continue off the sides of the soap so that it was one object and not a drawing on top

# data[].attributes.body
We watched a video on Nix & Gerber and wrote down first impressions as well as how their sets could inspire our own

# data[].attributes.body
We wrote down as many ways we could think of manipulating both cardboard and paper for a minute each

# data[].attributes.body
We watch a video of a picnic scene which zoomed all the way out and back in, then even further in, to think about looking at spaces & places from different perspectives

A point I brought up after was that the video zooms both out and in to compare how small atoms are to ourselves and how small ourselves are to the entire solar system, showing there's always something bigger out there which is slightly daunting

# data[].attributes.body
We made zines from paper and went for a walk outside with 4 different drawing materials, tasked with finding different holes and drawing them in the zine

We were tasked with using words we thought of for the prompt "spaces/places" to make a diorama out of paper, using at least 3 different ways of manipulating the paper

# data[].attributes.body
I made a city skyline with some scrunched up clouds and a sun, as well as a little paper aeroplane to represent a real plane

# data[].attributes.body
We were given different prompts and had to manipulate the paper to fit each

# data[].attributes.body
I thought the most complicated thing I could make would be a paper fortune teller as there's a lot of parts to it and can be moved in different ways

# data[].attributes.body
To make it even more complex I added a paper snowflake inside so when it opens up there's more complex things inside

# data[].attributes.body
I thought the most animated thing would be something that moved, so I made a paper aeroplane as they can fly, and i added some extra cuts to make it look cool c:

# data[].attributes.body
While we were marbling we took turns going around with a camera taking photos of things

# data[].attributes.body
We were put in small groups and tasked with making a comic strip inspired by earlier tasks. We used the block printing technique to do so

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
The first panel was accidentally printed upside down 

# data[].attributes.body
My group: Jamie & JJ

# data[].attributes.body
Our comic started with a mouth opening and an eye inside, then it rolled up and a slimmer eye turned into a nose and then a face, and the last frame zooms out to show the face is huge and little people looking up at it

# data[].attributes.body
Jamie printing the last panel

# data[].attributes.body
We had to draw our hands in different positions using different techniques such as continuous line and circles

# data[].attributes.body
We had to draw a self portrait using only touch and then add colour/patterns inspired by the Chicago Imagists

# data[].attributes.body
I don't usually draw portraits so it's not my strongest area but feeling and drawing worked a bit differently and I enjoyed drawing in a different way

# data[].attributes.body
We had to draw our mouths without looking at them but by touching and feeling where things are

# data[].attributes.body
I wasn't feeling so good this day so I would blame the wonkyness on that but again it was fun to draw using touch

# data[].attributes.body
In class the day before, we were given time to take photos of different doorways and doors for the next class the day after

We were tasked with cutting up pieces from the marbling and memory drawing from earlier tasks, to fit words we used to describe the Kandinsky Artwork

# data[].attributes.body
I took the rainbow from the Kandinsky piece and some marbling cut out into clouds, then i took the gradient blue and cut it into triangles and angled them down to kind of symbolise the rainfall you get after a rainbow

# data[].attributes.body
I thought of walk being a constant flowing movement which lead me to cut out almost sea creature-like shapes and have them swimming down a stream/path of the background shapes

# data[].attributes.body
I saw a person falling in the bottom piece and cut it out as well as some extra shape to make it seem like some kind of smoke or wind as they fell, and left a piece behind to show some of it might be breaking off during the fall

# data[].attributes.body
I thought of consistent being all the same so I tried making everything symmetrical, the oil didn't dry very well so some rubbed onto the paper which are the marks behind the pieces

# data[].attributes.body
We were tasked with trying out different marbling techniques such as shaving foam & marbling ink, and water & oils

# data[].attributes.body
I took some colours I thought would work together and pressed the paper into the foam to get this pattern

# data[].attributes.body
After the first piece I saw there was still a lot of colour to be used so I tried dipping it again to see if the pattern was different as after the first time the colours had mixed a little

# data[].attributes.body
This techniques was probably not my strongest as I mixed some of the wrong ink into the water but with a bit of oil it helped a little. This one was very mixed and looks a bit like flames almost

# data[].attributes.body
With this one I tried dotting the ink more to show more of the white and see what patterns emerge from this and it came out looking kind of like a galaxy which i sorta liked

# data[].attributes.body
We had a Kandinsky piece to look at and discuss then we were challenged to draw the artwork from memory

# data[].attributes.body
I remembered some things about the artwork, I drew a face in the back because that's what that part of the piece reminded me of, and i remembered the rainbow as it was a familiar shape. I also remembered there being almost two paths in the foreground and a building to the right which the rainbow crossed to like a bridge, as well as the M shaped birds in the sky

# data[].attributes.body
In class we had to ask each other questions to build a character based on the other person. We had to draw using a technique we previously explored such as straight line, circles, collage, continuous line etc.

# data[].attributes.body
I asked Leah questions like her pronouns, favourite colour and star sign to annotate around her face some qualities about the character of her. I also was using straight lines to draw so I also wrote the text in straight lines for some continuity

# data[].attributes.body
My idea was to keep the pieces apart as the two drawings were also apart on the paper, and I tried using oval/circle shapes as that was how the drawing was made

In the class we passed around paper to print a character on, each person doing a different part of the body (head, chest, legs, feet)
Then as a class we cut up the pieces and put the parts that looked best together
