As the crits from last class said l, they could't understand what the collection was about without seeing my scketchbook
So my goal was to make it understandable, because as the crits said, it lacks clarity. With that in mind I planned on cataloging every single photo I took with date, time and content, making it easier to understand when and what I was collecting

Project n1
- On my first project I developed the idea of making a "literal" drawing, were the objects were represented by their names. So I drew 13 plates (the plates of my collection) and filled them with the word "plate", as I did with the forks, knifes and foods.
Obs: this project took too long, it made me not concentrate on the other 2, needed to plan more my time

Project n2
- did it very fast, I had not much time left, so I drew 13 abstract plates that connected within each other, show the journey of having dinner

-Tried to print some photos
-Didn't had them printed yet for the project
-Took too much time and didn't managed to print them on time. I ended up doing nothing productive in the afternoon.
(The problem was that I sent the files in RAW, and they couldn't print it)]]> 2018-03-07 23:10:56 UTC https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/239443367 lucas_ferreira https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/240978345 Charles Watson made me question:
  Why do I want to be an artist?]]> 2018-03-12 16:37:29 UTC https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/240978345 lucas_ferreira https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/241109215 1.
- started doing the "Y" for the typography project
-didnt knew if I went to far on the design, because it was to technical for my taste, as I had to measure every thing.

2.
- did the stencil for tomorrow, decided to do a very mathematical and precise one, even beeing not that practical
-looked at some references on the internet and decided not to use serif on the lowercase "y" for esthetical reasons]]> 2018-03-12 20:23:59 UTC https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/241109215 lucas_ferreira https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/241581121 1.
- on the day with the silkscreen, we needed to do another stencil for it.
-I changed a little bit in comparison from my original one, did it with sharper anlges because a I like the apperence more

2.
- we were supposed to use 2 different colors on the silkscreen, I used yellow and purple
-the yellow got a little transparen and became blended by the purple
-I ended up with some very nice patters, wish I could have more time on it]]> 2018-03-13 18:56:30 UTC https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/241581121 lucas_ferreira https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/242818535 -As I choose a very organic letterform, I decided to make a very organic object also.
-I went to my apartment little park and gathered some stick from different sizes, when I arrived at ebac I separated by size, to make the process of building the object more easy.
-In about 1 hour of thinking, I decided to use a thick stick as a base and tying up smaller sticks round it. It all went well ]]> 2018-03-16 13:54:22 UTC https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/242818535 lucas_ferreira https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/244229168 Today I tried to choose the word to make a poster, I went with the word "fame". I didn't tinked too much on my theme, what made my protest look shallow
I got blocked and spend the hole morning thinking on ideas, if I had organized my ideas with a more deep research, that would made my protest more meaningful. I learned that the graphical part is not the only thing that matters]]> 2018-03-20 19:05:19 UTC https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/244229168 lucas_ferreira https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/245262166 Did the stencil for the quote "the emptiness of fame". I got distracted and rote "empness", on top of that I mirrored every thing. I was thinking I've ruined everything, but I managed to cut out each individual letter and make a collage with it

-In the stencil I did a half oscar trophy half skeleton, I shoud have done ot with two layers, because doing that I could use more complexity
-I used a very cool technique: nanquin on a blank sheet and than the silkscreen on top, I sort of mimics a 2 layer in a easier way]]> 2018-03-22 21:58:42 UTC https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/245262166 lucas_ferreira https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/246653186 Today I had the lecture with Carlos, about the researching and reflecting technique. There I saw that my reflective was too shallow and I could improve it by asking a simple question (why?)]]> 2018-03-27 18:48:49 UTC https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/246653186 lucas_ferreira https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/247371143 We did the photo editing class. We were suposed to edid 5 photos in 5 diferent ways.
I really liked the experimentation felling of this class, because I experimented with manual techniques I've never done before
-For me the most interesting thing was that I had to adapt the best technic for each king of image, that made me see very clearly the way I need to analyze first and "do" second.]]> 2018-03-29 18:49:50 UTC https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/247371143 lucas_ferreira https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/250299358  Doing 30 ideas in 30 minutes was a very dificult task, I started with no rules, mixing aleaotories ideas, it made me create some cool ones, but no one made me happy
Than I tinked on making something I like and do well, which would be making the concept art for a world. Although I've never done this, I've been training the fundamentals of drawing for sometime.
I choose de theme "old west" for making a concept of, because I think it is a forgotten theme and I really like this idea of surviving and Bushcrafting all your stuff]]> 2018-04-10 14:38:59 UTC https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/250299358 lucas_ferreira https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/251839028 Choosing the theme western made me think if making a futurist western word would be a good idea, as it would be a hell of an challenge. Spend the entire day researching and finding useful reference for me, especially the ones with pleasing color palettes and beautiful shapes, by doing that I would be able to do a project that related more to me]]> 2018-04-15 03:06:49 UTC https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/251839028 lucas_ferreira https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/253265309 Today I started the back cover of my zine, as I did it on the last minute it needed to be relatively simple on the design, I've focused primarily on the colour harmony of the back cover, tried to mimic a more "old like" feeling and liked the result, wish I had time to apply this effect on the hole work.]]> 2018-04-19 03:18:35 UTC https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/253265309 lucas_ferreira https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/253652504 Coloring the building required me to learn more things about digital painting besides the ones I had already learned when colouring the background, such as fine cutting all the building edges so the color doesn't bleed. Spent all day long doing the same prosses on a series of 6 buildings.]]> 2018-04-19 22:54:53 UTC https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/253652504 lucas_ferreira https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/253652842 Scanning was a simples task, but I couldnt tell the same for coloring it on photoshop, it was a first for me. I needed to ask for hesp every time on the first day, that made the process take longer than it should
things I learned:
command+d= desselect
command+j= copy of layer
command+t= ajust size]]> 2018-04-19 22:57:57 UTC https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/253652842 lucas_ferreira https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/253654329 When doing the background line art, I dint planned to do something like the picture above, I was just thinking on doing it all in one side of the paper, but not making it a single illustration that is connected]]> 2018-04-19 23:11:30 UTC https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/253654329 lucas_ferreira https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/253654859 Doing the line art was one of the easiest parts, as I was well trained to do simple western buildings.
I spent the hole day copying my favourite sketches os western buildings and finalising it]]> 2018-04-19 23:12:39 UTC https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/253654859 lucas_ferreira https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/253655186 -Organizing my work on the table was not easy, as it was the key of my work meaning. I took some old file organizing sheets and labeled it in 13 different days, then I printed in a 13 papers to go along with the 13 photos I took, thoose papers would contain the time, the date, what I ate, and where I ate, by doing this I could pass the felling of a well organized and archived content
-I used black sheets of paper to contrast with the with the dirty white table
-I decided to use one of the outcomes of march 6 as the title os my work. I had the feeling my work was already to literal, as it sad every information on the files, so to also contrast, I used an illustration (that is also literal) as a title.
-As a last minute thing, Monique had an idea of making a tiny little book of the photolitho experiences I had. I managed to do it, ad for me, it gave a very fresh look at my work.
-In the crit, the others students sad they could not understand why I did that, but as answer:  Why would't I? Thats what I liked the most about doing that -describing a banal situation-.]]> 2018-04-19 23:15:44 UTC https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/253655186 lucas_ferreira https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/253686035 I started the day very rushed, because I needed to print and get the final touches  of my digital alphabet for the presentation.
Because of that I dind't focus on the presentation at all, what for me ruined my work (a problem I did not had on the first project). I got a bad table on a bad place, my ]]> 2018-04-20 02:59:51 UTC https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/253686035 lucas_ferreira https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/253688752 2018-04-20 03:19:31 UTC https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/253688752 lucas_ferreira https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/253689683 2018-04-20 03:27:39 UTC https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/253689683 lucas_ferreira https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/253693987 Went to the first floor to take a goo picture that would represent my protest, but I felt on the same problem, I didnt knew for what I was fighting for.
All they long people said to me that they could not understand the meaning, but they liked the look of it. I still don'd nano how to solve this problem besides spending more time on thinking]]> 2018-04-20 04:03:57 UTC https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/253693987 lucas_ferreira https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/253694851 Doing lots of buildings drawings made me be more flexible with style, what did me to go for a cartoonish/realistic look.
Tried a series os materials: 
   -brush pens (not god for arctechtural drawing as it is not precise)
   -copic (good for sketching, but bad dor scanning)
   -pencil (good for sketching and eraseble)
-pen (precise and ideal for perspective drawing)]]> 2018-04-20 04:11:22 UTC https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/253694851 lucas_ferreira https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/253931414 Technique is good, bud it is lacking on concept and purpose. That is a constant problem I'm having with my projects the exact same thing happened in the protest project, but this time I think the good applied technique overcame the problem, but for me, it still a weakness I need to fix.
After happening two times, I saw that this problem occurs when I start a project too rushed without making lots of concepts and planning. It also happens when I think only on the estetic side.
Another problem I faced was not to use my time wisely, as I just started working hard after the intire first week
The hole process of this work was very repetitive nut strangely I liked that feeling, of doing something big as I normally do small sketches on my sketch book, with no final art and color.]]> 2018-04-20 17:31:16 UTC https://padlet.com/lucas_ferreira/bvpo9hhdb7nj/wish/253931414
