Roundabouts-Week One

On the 10th of september we was put into groups which was for me the 3d sculpture and visual communications.

3D sculpture

In the first lesson i was doing 3d Sculpture. this subject involved us using metal wire, which we had to weld together using a spot welder. the item i made was based on a place in scotland called Tobermory on the isle of mull. i chose to use this because there was no definate lines on the image i chose from the museum.

the first thing i did was make a frame for around the image which was made out of basic metal wiring. then i used a thinner wire to make the outline of the houses and the boat in the sea.

I dont think the item was very good because I could have tried harder than i did so it didnt turn out like i expected it to.

Visual communications.

In the first session we was shown some work relating to the image and then I chose the image from the museum which was of Thelemere in the lake district.

We then applied filters to the images via adobe photoshop yo create different effects.

The lesson was easier than i thought it would be because we then printed the image out that we had chosen and then cut out with a craft knife the definate lines that we wanted to do. We then had to hold the image infront of a light and then take a picture of the picture and the shadow of the item.
