I see the road   s t  r   e    t     c      h  out and I think "Move. Go. Take what means the most to you and run. Put your foot down. Don't let anything stop you from leaving. Don't contain the words or feelings or words or emotions: you're free now. Free to run, climb, drive, j                                                                                                                            u                                                             ...

On Wednesday 21st, we did a mini project, where we created a stop motion animation using clay. This was something very interesting to do, as it was nice to test knew mediums that aren't physical or on paper. I have had previous experience using stop motion, so i knew all about i and how time consuming it is to get the desired effect. It takes countless frames and tiny movements to make the final video appear smooth and realistic . This is exactly what we did, using tiny movements to make our video look smooth, and loads of frames being shot, even though the final result would probably last a couple of seconds. This would be something very interesting to take into the future, as consider as a medium to use for a final piece, or some form of development in the project. I think however that i would bring in a lot more things that just the clay, bringing more colour and objects into it, depending on what the project is.

“A drawing is taking a line for a walk” We decided to emulate this sentence through a continuous line drawing. The ends of the drawing had wire dangling down from them not the floor, and then shaping into the world line. We liked the look of the scribble technique so that is what we included in our final project piece. We planned before hand so that we were sure that it was the style and look we wanted. Within our group we assigned different tasks to each person (e.g. two people did artist research, one person planned and one did the final piece). This was really effective as we were able to get more done at one time. To begin with though, we all thought of ideas and discussed them, and in the end we voted on our favourite idea. We then researched artists who use line and continuous line drawings. We found an artist called Susan Seigel. She created line drawings using pen on a plain background to portray animals, with observation drawings of nature. She adds annotations to the...
