Working in the workshop is something i have wanted to do more offten and is something i enjoy alot durring my cource becase it mkaes me use all my imagination, sketching skills and me getting creative.

I also prefer working in grops because it helps you to gain knowledge and help from your group members, comunicating is a big thing and it also helps your confidence during the cource. Working in a tidy spot is very important for me because if its messy i wount be able to focuse and it would look like there is too much going on. So keeping your desk clean is very important.

This cource is also something i wanted to study for a long time so i will make sure i will give it the best i got and im doing this not only for the cource, I am doing this for my feuture.

David Shrigley is a really interesting British artist, born in Macclesfield in 1968. He’s known for his unique style that mixes drawings, sculptures and installations, often with a touch of humor and a bit of absurdity. His drawings are especially famous for their simple, quirky look and the funny hand-written text that usually accompanies them.

When it comes to the tools he uses, Shrigley tends to stick with traditional drawing materials like pencils and pens, and he also works with paint and canvas for his bigger pieces. For his sculptures, he uses a variety of materials, including plaster, fibreglass and sometimes even found objects, which adds to that playful vibe of his art.

Overall, his work is super relatable and often makes you chuckle while thinking about the quirks of everyday life.

This image gave me some ideas for my bird because I like animals

# data[].attributes.body
In this image i started by sketching a 2D image of how my bird will look and what it’s going to stand on and how im going to be building all this. This was my first plan.

# data[].attributes.body
On this sketch i was using pen so i dont end up robbing it off, but here i was sketching parts of the bird and see what material im going to be using and how i would want it to look which was shown in the sketch step by step.

# data[].attributes.body
In this image i finished

# data[].attributes.body
finished the right wing with as much detail added so moved in to the body and how it should look like.

# data[].attributes.body
The way the bricks ware layered is something that also gave me an idea for the head of the bird like painting the head red and white to represent the brick wall

# data[].attributes.body
Just to finish it off I started to add all the small details for example mouth, eyes and hair for the final sketch.

# data[].attributes.body
Here we had to used tape to hold the bamboo together becuse when we used black string it was still shaky but using the tape methord helped alot.

# data[].attributes.body
Found a square cardboard peace and decided to make it a plat form for the birds and for extra support we placed two wooden to hold it on place

# data[].attributes.body
after finishing that plat form we moved on onto adding a extra part to the perch and this idea was for big bireds so we had to get some strong bamboo and alot of tape so it holds on very well.

# data[].attributes.body
After creating the tringle structure we had to add more bamboo beacuse when we hanged it up it wasnt balencing well.

# data[].attributes.body
Here we finished creating it and for us to make it spin we had to add black spring and thigh it around the top to hold it strong.

# data[].attributes.body
So after finishing, it looked plane so we decided to add paint to the perch so we went for green and black.

# data[].attributes.body
This is how i wanted to create my plan for my bird and the equipments im going to use step by step.

# data[].attributes.body
I had to use my fingers to bend the wire and get it into shape.

# data[].attributes.body
using copper wire, i tried to rap it on the tip of the claws just to give it a nice look.

# data[].attributes.body
So then moved on to the legs of my bird which was the hardest part because i decided to make it out of foam which wasnt a good idea because the head is going to be very heavy and it wount be able to stand but still went for it and used glue and wire to hole it on place which did work but not that well.

# data[].attributes.body
While i was sketching and gaining ideas and thought of that i should make my bird flying so before creating it wanted to do a sketch of how it should look first and the wings if they should be opened or closed and the beak, also went in by adding some shades to give it a realistic sketch but it ended up really nice.

# data[].attributes.body
Asked AI to create an image of a bird holding a basketball and is also wearing jeans with some money in the pockets and it has generated this image which gave me some ideas and helped me a lot during this project.

# data[].attributes.body
Asked AI to create me a image for a bird made out of car metal pieces because when i was young i used to play with metal pieces and make random things with is so decided to go with this image and use the wings and the claws of the bird for my final bird.

# data[].attributes.body
After getting all my images and my sketches, started to put it all together and trying different techniques so I get more ideas. after sticking all of them together the background looked plane so got some random paper and cut them into shapes and stick them at the back, which made a big diffrence.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Clay was used to creat the body of the bird and the basketball.

# data[].attributes.body
I really liked this pattern because it could really help me by creating the wings for the bird out of wood and maybe the feet of the bird

On the side we found a big peace of cardboard so we done our mesurements placing it on was a strogle but ended up getting it in there.

# data[].attributes.body
After placing it the edges looked messy so we got this paper which you would have to wet first and then apply on your work and will make it look better so we added that all around and finished off there.

# data[].attributes.body
It’s a sporty bird so I had to make a basketball out of clay and using the edge of a coin to get the pattern on the ball.

# data[].attributes.body
Then moved on to the beak of the bird which was made out of clay too, Creating the beak out of clay was easy but had to make it a little smoother and get the right size.

# data[].attributes.body
Started to make it more realistic by adding more detail in the beaks mouth.

# data[].attributes.body
After creating the beak and adding detail it still looked simple so had to go with creating a tongue which will make it more relaxed.

# data[].attributes.body
Then moving on to creating a cap to my bird because I’ve been wearing too many hats recently.

# data[].attributes.body
Had to get more strong wire so then when I connect the head to the body it will support it, which would make it easier to stand. So ended up using tape and some glue gun.

# data[].attributes.body
After rapping a lot of papers and taping it all together I got a round ball and then to get a nice surface I went for using clay.

# data[].attributes.body
When I was putting my bird together I thought that I have to add a tail to my bird which I started with using wire first and then wrapping it with tape so it won’t be too heavy.

# data[].attributes.body
Finishing my tail and sticking it on the back using hot glue gun which helped a lot because it also supports the bird.

# data[].attributes.body
Here I put the head onto the body which didn’t look good because he head wasn’t smooth so had to come up with a new plan.

# data[].attributes.body
Started covering the head with wet paper to make it smoother.

# data[].attributes.body
Changed the left wing to it holding the claws of the bird because it didn’t want to stand straight and the head was too heavy which turned out very well.

# data[].attributes.body
Painted the beak of the bird to make it look better and not plane.

# data[].attributes.body
Putting the head on the body and adding the beak using hot gun clue because thats the only thing to keep it up and not drop, Also painted the head white.

# data[].attributes.body
The head looked empty so it’s always right to add eyes so i ended up using clay.

# data[].attributes.body
fter gluing the cap and adding some eyebrows it was finally completed and ready to be put on the golden perch.
