A few of recorded outcomes during Unit 1

Everything is going wrong again. The grafica printed my zine wrong, so i had to go there two times. Later i found out the problem was with the file itself, but i didnt have time left, so i just went straight to the print studio to make a gold effect on the back of the prints. When i finished that up, i wrote down a bit o research for my project. After it, i stayed from 8pm to 22 pm trying to create a different biding techinique since the one I was going to use did not work out. Thankfully the new one worked and looked nice, but i took a lot of time to make. I'm scared

After the agonizating day yesterday, i went to the grafica to see what i could do, only to find out that it wasn't fuctioning. I panicked, i went to another printer, but it was too expensive and not even that good. Later the day i came back to copyset and it was working, but the tint didn't came out as black as I wanted, so I headed back to ebac to sort that out in photoshop. I was really panicking, nothing was working out, what whould I do?? It was already 8pm and my friend called me from copyset saying that (somehow) they were able to make my project with a deep level of balck. I was really happy and relaxed a little on my way home

I was done with the paiting of my zine, and already started working on the other one (extended version one, as I call it). But then Leopoldo told me that it was better for me to work that out later and focused on the main project. So i went to the third floor to use photoshop and indesign, both in which i had huge problems with since i dont really know much about them. Finishing up, i printed a copy just to see how it was. I was shockded beacuse the front of the zine was in a different shade of black than the rest. It was a major difficulty, not even alex could fix it. Losting all my hopes, i went up to Duilio and asked him if the problem was with the machine, he said no, and then foward helped me to solve the problem. After an hour or so, we made everything look right, to solve the problem we used the "bucket" option in paint, since photoshop doesnt have that.

It was quite a simple day. I used it to finish up my painting. It went well since i didn't had so much difficulty in it

# data[].attributes.body
Nothing much happened today, I kept drawing and thinking about my zine and illustrations. I've also re-wrote somethings of my text (which im basing for the zine), i did that so that i would be easier for me to insert them in the drawings once i was finished

.Today we had screenprinting workshop and a group critique with Ceaser and Daniel
The critique went well, Daniel gave me some good advice and I was able to share my ideas with other people, it will help my project tremendoulsy to know more about what people think about my topic; not feeling in control of what goes around you.
But, the second part of the class wans't as useful for me. You see, we dont have so much time, and I already know what they were teaching us in the print studio. The timing was absolutly wrong, and since i didn't want to make that affect my work, i began working at the illustrations during that time.

The photoshop workshop was extremeally useful today! I feel like a granny when im at the Pc, so having this lecture really helped me. Knowing the controls will make it easier for me when i need to change something next week for the final print.

# data[].attributes.body
Today we did 30 drawings in 30 minutes. I loved it, honestly, i think it will help in my project big time since i made so many different illustrations, even though they are all connected withinh the same topic.
Jaygo's lecture on the afternoon was really good, it made even more interested on the BA course for Graphic Design, i loved the way he talked about how everything is connected to design, nd how drawing can be so much more than just an illustration; it's a way of talking to people. He was really inpiring for me.

With Ceasar and Monique we went to a lecture at Dado today. I particullary enjoyed the first part of the talk about art galleries and what it takes to keep a hold of them, and also about really small ones. The talk also approached how the bigger galleries decide who's work will be exposed in a extremeally capitalist form, and how those same galleries explore lesser-known ones in search os rising artist, which I honestly think is a dick move, for only the ones who have money can profit.
The second part of the talk wasn't as much interessting

# data[].attributes.body
I didn't went to ebac. I was too concerned with my family. The stress didn't even let me draw anything, it was a really unproductive day

# data[].attributes.body
Morning: Today we had a research workshop which was extreamelly helpfull. Paulinne and Carlos gave us a handbook which contained examples of good and not so good research, as well as some tips for how to write and what to write in it. Good research is when you also reflect about what you learned from it. After that, in the classrom, we played around with photography, the first we needed to insert things in it, in the second we needed to subract from it. For the first, I painted something silly using acrylics, and what inspired me wasn't especific, I just found it funny beacuse I made ir look like a demon-dog constest or something. and overall it looked trashy. While for the second, an image of a priest holding a cup, remineded me of the sing "Cálice", so i blurred out the face of the priest and wrote the lyrics over it.

Afternoon: continuing with the photographies we had, the third one Ceaser asked us to stich it, i had extreme difficulty with it, since i have no idea how to sew, so I asked for help from Letícia. The fourth picture was a lonley boat at the sea, and our command was it to destroy the image either by punching, piercing, tearing apart, etc. With the tip of the scissor i made a soft cut, it looked like wind, so i countinued on. There were some parts that it made a deeep cut, I enjoyed the result.
After it, we had another class with pauline, this time was about the reflective journal, which they also handed us a handbook. I was Carlos "cobaia" for the task about describing your day in words. As time went by, Paulinne told a bit more os reflection with carlos, which really made me feel inspired to write it down. I believe these workshops were essential for us foundation sudents.

I didn't go to ebac today. I felt blue, and problems were arising in my household. The majority of drawings I did that day involved sadness and heaviness. It was the kind of drawings I do when I need to relief myself.

After a long and exhausting class with ceasar, we were headed off to search for filters, I used a plastic cup, it lloked like someone peering thourgh and door.

Today was the final day for our protest, we had to insert it somewhere at school in a way to intervein with the location. I choose the windows at the secretary, i had been thinking of my project in that area since the beggining beacuse it was really open and people not only of ebac would see it, people who would pass by would also get to see it and reflect on it. Anyway, one thing that I felt like it was missing in my presentation was content. I wanted it to be sorta like "lambe lambe", full of information, attracting the public to come closer and read each one so they can get the confused feeling out of their heads. To solve this problem, I wrote pharses in little pieces of paper, in a way it could represent the voice of poc women who suffer with racial sexualization.

# data[].attributes.body
Today we did screen printing based on our protest. My main inspiration to the image we were going to print was the collage we did yesterday. So I basically made the text be as similar as possible with the original one, and I cut out a female figure, but only the sillhouete. The only regret I had was that maybe i put a bit too much detail on the hair.
After Lunch we began on doing te posters for our exhbition and the placa. I had difficulty at first cuz I didn't know what to do, but then it hit me thatI could do something a bit more reckless, that somehow could scream trough the paper, and so i did, based on the reserch of languages of the first day.
We has to make the placa by pressuring. just like when we made our sketchbooks. Honestly, monique did most of the parts for me, I just saw the wood, and glued the bases with another.

Morning:
After comparing our cut outs with other people in a group of four, we started to experiment our protest with what we've got. I printed some pharses in different fonts to help me play around with the request. I loved the way it came out, the typography is strong, the woman appearing is an brazilian icon for black resistence, and the black background gave it a final touch. Honestly, i could stare at it the whole day (and will probablly frame it on my room)
Afternoon:
Michael separated me and some other people in a group to go to the print room and do another poster with stencil. I really didn't want to complicate things, and absolutely not to use details. The typography part was easy, and with the woman i simply cut out the shadows, so it could look like a person. I choose the color red for it is a strong colour.
So the only thing I really regret about today es cutting out a square in the stencil, i think ruined it.

Morning:
After a small lecture with Solange and Leopoldo, we were given the task to create typography for our protest poster, by playing around with words and thinking of a catchpharse for the project. Mine was "My roots should not excite you", since the theme is about racial sexualization. I made lots of different types and even tried writing in other languages, such as japanese, arabic and spanish.
Afternoon:
After lunch, we started working on a poster only using words. I understood wrong the idea at first, but Sol guided me. I had an idea almost immediatly, i wanted to write down the same slongan in a black paper with white paint in all languages i searched, highlinting the negative (not)with gold posca. It was a bit complicated, and since I was trying to make everything the same size and etc, it consumed a lot of time, so I had to rush it. I wish Solange or Leopoldo would've talked to me during the process, I get really stressed when I don't receive feedback, in my head I wonder if it's good or if it's terrible? Anyway, when I was done, I realized I did not enjoy how the spanish slogan came out, I thought the "no" was too in the middle, making difficult to read.
I plan to re-do it so it can be better next time

Morning:
Unfortunelly, today i arrived late, so instead of watching Monique's presentation I had to do some research on the artist of the brief for this week. I was actually surprised how much interesting the research was. I also wrote values I find important on a post it (Michael's orders).
Afternoon:
Right after lunch I had to catch up with the rest of the group, which was quite easy beacuse I did the post it thing before that. Anyway, by doing a mind map of the most important values for the project (mine were Courage, Compassion and Freedom) we needed to make a catchpharse/slogan for what we were protesting for. My main two ideas are about homeless people and how they live in our society, and racial fetishes and how they can have a negative effect on people

Today was the final presentation. I spent the day preparing my table to display what i've done during the week. The professors complimented my work, and evrything went nicely. The works of everyone were great.

# data[].attributes.body
Today we made the sketches of the final form of the moveable type project. I decided build it out of cascalho and wire.
The second parr we made typography to pass it to the computer, i didn't finish it in time so i stayed more at ebac. At least i finished

# data[].attributes.body
The day was mainly focused on the printing part of the project. We experimented with stencil and silk screen, to create mor content to friday.The  precision with the cuts is unevitable if you want the paint to pass smoothly, unfortunelly I learned that in the worst way. I've also returned to my stencil trauma, I always forget how thin and fragile the paper is. ut, even though i failed a few times, i really enjoyed the final result.

# data[].attributes.body
Today we drew typography with the help of our research during the weekend. We also took pictures resembling letters, Michael decided that my letter to draw based on the photo would be H. This was quiete hard, for my photo was a bunch of sweet potatos forming an H. Well, to solve this issue i decided to make really organic and natural looking, so it could resemble the potatos, it worked well. I especially liked the two last one, but I'll try to keep improving

# data[].attributes.body
I've been from 10 am to 7pm doing the movable type project. I first started out by creating mold out of wire and making the parts stay together whether by twisting the edges or covering with tape.
When I was finally done with the mold, I began to put together the wood over it, sticking it with hot glue. Ceaser said that the hot glue wouldn't work and my mold was too weak, but i knew that with the right management would hold it nicely. Guess you were wrong Ceaser.
Finally done, I fixed some details and cleaned my part, hope I achieved what was asked of me.

Today was the day of our collection presentation. I really enjoyed my result, I printed in A3 sheets of my collection and glued onto the wall, so it could serve it as a background. After that I put my best drawings of porstitutes over it, creating an urban feeling, which was in tune with my project itself.

Today we experimented in the printing workshop to create more content to our collection. The main midias used were

The day was basically focused around postioning your exbhition in the best way possible. When we were done, we had to go to the mezanino so put it ina completly different location in a few minutes. My major issue was with the heavy rain that started to go down. My sketchbook was wide open and I was afraid of getting it wet, since it was positioned in a web of strings and it could fall down the wet floor.

# data[].attributes.body
Today Solange and Ana proposed for us to make drawings based on our collections. Mine is about prostitutes, so I decided to draw their faces  based on their descriptions found on the stickers in the orelhão. Ana helped me find inspiration by showing an artist called Marlene Dumas. From that, I went forward with my paintings based on nanquin and red goauche. I had some problems with time at first, but then, once i found out what i wanted to do, everything went smoothly.
