I added the 'NO WORDS TO BE NEEDED' quote because I thought that it was interesting to have something that doesnt get explained to keep people wondering why it was written. ]]> 2020-09-23 18:02:49 UTC https://padlet.com/600934/tw90x1l6xe83ml3y/wish/773265691 Styrofoam cup artist 600934 https://padlet.com/600934/tw90x1l6xe83ml3y/wish/773314470 Cheeming Boey:
He is a Malaysian artist of Chinese descent. Primarily known for his last name 'Boey',he is well recognized for his foam cups that he creates illustrations on.

He is a game designer and cartoonist, and Boey has worked as:
  1. Bicycle designer 
  2. Animator 
  3. Author 
  4. Host
  5. Teacher 
  6. Engineer 
The choice of media that he uses is typically black sharpies on styrofoam cups, which he decided to do when he was in a coffee shop and had a sudden urge to draw something.

Detailed doodling is what he does the most which is one of the reasons for me looking at this artists style. I really like how he takes a plain boring every day object and makes it into a unique designed art piece by doing something so simple and original.

I think that this style would go well onto one of my own cup designs because I prefer drawing myself and think it's both simple and creative.

  • He spent 5 years studying the question.
  • We want to be more creative we want to come up with better ideas, we want our organisations to he more inovative."
  • What are the spaces that have historicall  led to unusual routes of creativity and innovation?
  • Great ideas almost never come at a moment of great insight.
    Most important ideas take a long time.
  • Good ideas normally come from a collision of smaller hunches.
  • Chance favours the connected minds.
  • Tim Burners Lee worked on the project for 10 years.
  • Recurring patterns.
  • Overwealmed = less satisfied thoughts.
  • Change is development.

    Innocents Inspires:
  • Dan Germain is the head of creative things at innocent and he introduced 6 people =
  1. John Paul Flintoff who is a writer/perfomer and he said that "it's not only the brain that comes up with ideas but the body. Dont try hard, infect dont try at all just do it."
  2. Nathan 'flutebox' Lee who is a flute beat boxer.
  3. Sonny Green is a street poet who believes that "parts of the brain spark certain things."
  4. Benjamjn Zephaniah is a poet who said a similar thing to Benjamin "when you are being creative a part of the sparks up like a little electric pulse."
  5. Kate Moross is an artist who likes simple things and thinks that "simplicity is crucial, being obvious is fine.
  6. Rob Da Bank? Is a DJ and founder of bestival, believe  that "unless you have a fear of failure, the ability to create is not there."

David lynch 1 and 2:
  • Everything we do starts with an idea. We dont know what to do unless we have an idea.
  • Catch ideas like how you would catch fish.
  • Catch them by daydreaming or by places around you.
  • More pieces of ideas form something bigger like a puzzle.
  • There are no original ideas.
    IDEAS.
  • Suffering cramps the creative flow.
  • Ideas come on like a tv inside your head.
  • One idea can be a fragment.

In maths a mobius strip, band or loop is a surface with only one side and only one boundary curve. It is the simplest non- orientable surface and can be realized as a ruled surface, invented by August Ferdinand Möbius and Johann Benedict Listing in 1858.

Interesting why? Properties or uses?

Cut out design

I decided I wanted to cut sections out because I thought it will create a cool window effect. And then the reason behind the floral like design was that I really like drawing floral patterns and it turned out really good. I thought that it was a solid idea until it was all cut out and photographed but then later on it soon ripped because the cut out sections were too close to the edge.]]> 2020-09-23 19:09:10 UTC https://padlet.com/600934/tw90x1l6xe83ml3y/wish/773518568 Mobius strip artist 600934 https://padlet.com/600934/tw90x1l6xe83ml3y/wish/773520884 John Cullen creates work that features both artwork and entertainment. He is mostly known for creating comic strips, which he decided to turn into a mobius strip.

He wanted to find a way, in which he could turn his drawings into an actual physical object, that would have to be 'Manipulated' by the readers to see the whole thing.

Cullen has presented the comic mobius strip in a clear way because he has not twisted it too many times and he uses black and white which allows him to take the focus off of the colours and put the focus onto the designs.

I really like how he has done this so I think it is very successful and unique, even though some of his comics are based from other stories that he changes to make his own.

His work will inspire some of my ideas because I want people to have to focus on what it on the design and look at how it all fits together. I think creating a mini comic story could be effective because it has a more inventive approach to the work.]]> 2020-09-23 19:09:54 UTC https://padlet.com/600934/tw90x1l6xe83ml3y/wish/773520884 Lettering designs 600934 https://padlet.com/600934/tw90x1l6xe83ml3y/wish/789655301 2020-09-29 21:01:38 UTC https://padlet.com/600934/tw90x1l6xe83ml3y/wish/789655301 Feedback BMills2020 https://padlet.com/600934/tw90x1l6xe83ml3y/wish/794369017 Crystal - really well presented Padlet so far.

To create blackout poems you have to make a box around the words you chose and start to make sentences or phrases of your choice.

It is sometimes referred to as visual poetry, a term that has now developed a meaning of it's own.

For this poem I have used a black ink pen to draw a box around the chosen words and the scribble the rest of the text out. The reason for scribbling it all out is because it empathize the theme more and highlights the positive and negative words more, adding a deep and meaningful feel to the poem. ]]> 2020-10-06 10:50:57 UTC https://padlet.com/600934/tw90x1l6xe83ml3y/wish/806198171 Blackout poetry 2 600934 https://padlet.com/600934/tw90x1l6xe83ml3y/wish/806198550 The idea behind this piece it that it speaks about life and how "it is not death" so I decided to pick out words which create a happier feel to the idea of death after life.

I have used red to represent the love or anger you could potentially have, and drawn a tree with the gravestone in front because I wanted to show that even though it might be negative and sad it could also become something new. The tree grows where the gravestone is so its adding life where there wasn't.]]> 2020-10-06 10:51:12 UTC https://padlet.com/600934/tw90x1l6xe83ml3y/wish/806198550 'Manipulate' mobius strip ideas 600934 https://padlet.com/600934/tw90x1l6xe83ml3y/wish/809797857 Here I have drawn a couple of different ideas that I thought could be successful in differnt ways.

I really like how bright and eye catching this design is and it is successful in a way that it all stays together and has to be manipulated to read.
However one thing that could have been improved about this piece was that the letters could have had a tiny border around then because when I cut it out it didnt all hold together.
 
As a solution to this, i ended up having to use double sided tape to stick some letters to each other, which acturally worked really well.]]> 2020-10-13 09:31:32 UTC https://padlet.com/600934/tw90x1l6xe83ml3y/wish/824231489 Other photos of the tie dye mobius strip when it was stuck together and from differnt view points. 600934 https://padlet.com/600934/tw90x1l6xe83ml3y/wish/824831716 2020-10-13 13:43:45 UTC https://padlet.com/600934/tw90x1l6xe83ml3y/wish/824831716 Grace Jones x10 sketches 600934 https://padlet.com/600934/tw90x1l6xe83ml3y/wish/848181542 I want to try add more tones to it to try create the 3d definition still.

It's the act of manipulating a person by forcing them to question their thoughts, memories and events occurring around them.

The term gaslighting originated from the British play/film Gas Light in 1938. This term is now used in a clinical psychological literature as well as in political commentary and philosophy.

In the play the husband uses the gas lights to dim his own lights, which he then makes his wife believe it was all in her imagination when she had asked about them. The term is used to refer to that specific type of manipulation and is well know for it.

I really enjoy working with cartoon/animated kinda style work so I wanted to create the sea creatures but with my style instead of trying to make them realistic. This is because I have always found realistic drawing harder than cartoons and I wanted to show where my strengths are.

  • University 
  • Job
  • Another course
  • HNC/ HND
  • Apprenticeship 
  • Foundation?
Once I have completed this level 3 course, I would really hope to continue my studies on the creative arts departments, however I am unsure of where or how I will be doing this.

I have thought about going to university and studying one of the art courses so that I have the chances to develop and further my artist abilities because art is something I have strong interests for.

However I have worries about how I will  be able to cope financially because I'm currently struggling with how things are due to not having a job yet, which I am looking for along side my course. If I go to university I know that I would have alot to pay off which I think is going to be a huge factor to consider because I might not be capable.

I also know that the travelling would not help me in this particula  situation, although I have learnt by doing my research that I could get help for paying to go university but I would like to think and consider other options before deciding.

My second option would have to be finding an apprenticeship in a creative subject because that way I would be able to continue learning while having an income to help me in the future. 

Other options such as going into full time/ part time work have came across my mind but at the same time I know it would mean not being able to do anything I am passionate about.

I think that this piece could have been better as I prefer how the colours went on the development because they blended together better, and I could see how the paints worked differently in the final one.

I would have preferred it if I was able to add intricate details instead of slight highlighted outlines because in the development it looked really complete, however this is still a good outcome with strong uses of my chosen colour so I would think that it is a good interpretation.]]> 2020-11-11 07:45:13 UTC https://padlet.com/600934/tw90x1l6xe83ml3y/wish/911855200 Crystal 600934 https://padlet.com/600934/tw90x1l6xe83ml3y/wish/912466139 This was my attempt in turning the word manipulate into another 10 letter word with a slow progression between the letter forms.

I decided to write a few possible words but I decided on the word apocalypse because I thought it will be a good challenge and the letters were quiet different.

I like how it went from bubble letters to bones which I did because its what I thought of when I came across the word I chose.

 I have also been happy to be able to pick a colour of my own choice and create some diffent ideas based around the use of that one colour.
 
 For my own final outcome I decided to take foward a couple of my original paintings, and try to put them together to create a new piece that uses the ones I prefer, aswell as andding more of a background so that it looked more like a final design.
 
 The reson for choosing to use paints is because I would usually prefer drawing in pencil, so I wanted to use a different approach to presenting my ideas in a way that I still had some control over how it would have worked. 
 
 I think that the acrylic paint made my work stand out more and made it a little more challenging for me to use, which allowed me to develop the use of materials a bit further.
 
 I really liked using only the one colour because with the different tones it draws the attention to the thing you are drawing.

He started to create illustrations with fine details and loves art for its expressive powers. He uses black ink pens mostly creating bold lines and contrast on a smooth surface.

He creates his coloured pieces by drawing they layering watercolour over the tops allowing different shades. His main characteristics are the details created from the amazing line work.

Alfred was inspired by the nature around and created his work at night. His work features animals and humans or even both as mutant creatures with strong double exposure features.

He is a member of a cool art project/brand know as Anjavy where young artists create ink artworks on phone cases and mugs etc.

She worked for a period of time with chalks, pastels and paint, before discovering a passion for drawing feminine beauty as a mixed media artist.

Her work featured inks, watercolors, paints etc with strong emotional feelings and connections to her real life as a way to cope with the life she had.

Music was a huge influence on her artwork aswell as her life, and she used this in her art but working with or on sheet music and vintage papers.

Her work is very expressive and meaningful which is a reason I looked at this artists work, however the main reason for looking into her work was because I came across a piece of hers called "Hands of the Puppeteer".

I loved the piece because of how she portrayed the girl and how meaningful it was. It linked to what I was doing so well from the theme of puppeteer used and control. 

For this particular piece by Sara Riches used acrylics, vintage paper and normal paper to create an image of a female manaquin like dancer, which good contrast between the colours of the background and the girl. 

Sara forced herself into art daily but it eventually became enjoyable and her way so have relief and therapy. It allowed her to transfer her emotions in an outstanding way to communicate with her audiences when words failed. This was because they could visually see and understand her and her life.]]> 2021-01-08 14:38:07 UTC https://padlet.com/600934/tw90x1l6xe83ml3y/wish/1067158266 600934 https://padlet.com/600934/tw90x1l6xe83ml3y/wish/1071572984 2021-01-10 15:50:18 UTC https://padlet.com/600934/tw90x1l6xe83ml3y/wish/1071572984 Painting over this one to add shades and change a few parts. 600934 https://padlet.com/600934/tw90x1l6xe83ml3y/wish/1071577072 2021-01-10 15:52:32 UTC https://padlet.com/600934/tw90x1l6xe83ml3y/wish/1071577072 Crystal Chandler UAL LEVEL 3 600934 https://padlet.com/600934/tw90x1l6xe83ml3y/wish/1075915368 Extended Diploma in Art and design.

I really like the use of colour in these and the abstract outline in the second picture. maybe you could work on different backgrounds.]]> 2021-01-19 11:54:12 UTC https://padlet.com/600934/tw90x1l6xe83ml3y/wish/1100809995 January Edition: 3rd Edition 600934 https://padlet.com/600934/tw90x1l6xe83ml3y/wish/1100853603 2021-01-19 12:10:51 UTC https://padlet.com/600934/tw90x1l6xe83ml3y/wish/1100853603 Drawing hands for the puppeteer 600934 https://padlet.com/600934/tw90x1l6xe83ml3y/wish/1109533583 Post an updated photo soon]]> 2021-01-21 11:05:03 UTC https://padlet.com/600934/tw90x1l6xe83ml3y/wish/1109533583 Painting 600934 https://padlet.com/600934/tw90x1l6xe83ml3y/wish/1122845527 This is a painting of a dancer manipulating a little girl (controlling her like a puppet) into dancing aswell.

Most of the students from schools or college have been using padlet so that they can send there school work/coursework to there tutors. 

Art Mesh is a magazine featuring all the creative departments work from people of all ages mostly 16-19. 

Anyone can see the platform so students and family or friends can all see this magazine and the submissions but most of the work submitted is from the students in college.

We use padet to submit our pieces and we post them to the page so that we can like and comment on each others, giving constructive feedback.

This is a great way to engage with the audience and get feedback on your work.

I used a light board to be able to see both layers of paper just as an experiment to see what outcomes I could create.

I have learnt ways that show the meaning of the word, aswell as doing work that actually manipulates the work itself. 

My most successful pieces would be creating mobius strip and drawing gaslighting representations. This is because they worked really well and held the strong emotional meanings in my drawings in a way that was obvious and still effective. 

The work I have created could be suitable for the art mesh audience because it shows the theme well and my prefered media choices. All the work has been particularly successful and creative with strengths all throughout. 

My feedback gained from others, influenced my work later on because people gave me some really helpful ideas of what could be improved. I had struggled after a while with thinking of ways to make my ideas stronger and more effective and my feedback allowed me to see it from other peoples perspectives.

My sketchbook work overal in my opinion could have been presented a bit more creatively because I had done the work but with lockdown I felt rushed to get it all in my book or on paper. 

Each task I have done along with the research that went into each individual task, has all been really influential and connected to each other so my work had some sort of flow to it.

My main issue that I have had during this project, has been that towards the end when we went back into lockdown I struggled to stay on track with what I had planned to do. I wanted to create pieces based from my gaslighting task that were like puppeteer style, because I thought is was such a strong effective representation on the theme manipulate and that it would work best for me and my prefered media (pencils).

My practical work didn't include as many pieces as I had hoped because I didn't get round to doing a final outcome which I have been disappointed in, however I had many ideas which had the potential of becoming an incredible outcome.

Overal I think that this project has been successful in the way that I have learnt to change my perspective at times although I had a few challenges and difficulties with in parts of the tasks. My problem solving is what could have had a little more focus on so that I might have been able to get a final piece done.]]> 2021-02-05 14:47:54 UTC https://padlet.com/600934/tw90x1l6xe83ml3y/wish/1168491987 600934 https://padlet.com/600934/tw90x1l6xe83ml3y/wish/1169005329 This piece has the page split into two and its the idea of the puppet master being in control.

The pencils i used were not the best and they were hard to blend or erase which is why I didn't do the features how they were supposed to be. I would have preferred it if I used better quality pencils so I could create smaller lines and possibly have it more realistic.

I think that its a good drawing however I think that it could be improved if I added some finer detail or design to to background because it seems to basic.
