Seminar Flip Book Activity with Stop Motion Collaboration

Stop Motion Flip Book

 The seminar today was enjoyable and interactive. The main task was to create a small stop motion flip book, for mine I decided to use my thumb print inked by a Promarker, on each page resulting in different shapes and fades as the ink of my thumb print dried throughout the flip book. When it comes to creating flip books and illustrating motion with them, i'm never able to get the illustration in the right place on the adjacent page resulting in it jumping too for or being in a completely different place all together. However with this flip book, the thumb print jolting forward and backwards added to the outcome of the flip book. Additionally on each page was a letter eventually spelling out the phrase "why must we fight in a mad world".




Collaborative Stop Motion

During the flip book seminar at the back of the lecture hall there was a large piece of card taped to the wall with a camera and spot light pointed towards it. The camera has a stop motion setting and was set to take a photo every 10 seconds. Those who wanted to join in with this activity were tasked with drawing anything and step aside before it hit the 10 second mark so the camera could take a photograph, then step back in and continue with drawing. This went on for the entire session, the page started off with a sunset on a seaside eventually getting more twisted and abstract with graffiti aspects. 

This was a very fun interactive activity and the people who took part included myself were interested on possibly doing an activity like this over the summer with a longer time setting before the camera took a photograph, 5-10 minutes preferably. Below is the end result of the activity.
  
I personally believe that the roughness of the image due to how quickly we had to sketch out the drawings adds to the image.

Josan Gonzalez: The Future is Now

Image
Josan Gonzalez The most inspirational artist that I follow the work of on social media is an artist called Josan Gonzalez. More commonly known under the alias of Deathburger, Josan creates vibrant, bold Sci-fi Cyberpunk and post apocalyptic art that features a mixture of rich and pastel colour palettes that makes his work stand out remarkably. I absolutely adore the work by Josan, it has always been a favourite. As a fan of the subculture and genre of the Cyberpunk movement, I personally think that his work captures the feel of what it means to be 'Cyberpunk' perfectly, this bond of flesh and metal is brilliantly portrayed consistently. I frequently get a 'Judge Dredd' or 'Ghost in the Shell' vibe when discussing his artwork. A piece that I like in particular is the following image. Being able to incorporate a fisheye lens effect into his artwork gives an amazing perspective, the piece has a feeling of depth because of this effect. Although out attentio...

Self Negotiated Project: Clothing Brand Week 1: Brief Analysis and Proposed Idea

Image
Brief Analysis and Proposed Idea The brief for the 'Self Negotiated Project' has been provided. After reading the project synopsis, it appears that it is less restricted in comparison to the previous briefs we have been set on this course. I  heard details about this project prior to the brief going live, which meant I had ample time to come up with a solid idea in preparation for this project. The project will undergo over a period of 5 weeks, considering the idea I have in mind with just over a month to complete it is going to be precarious. However the combination of the preparation prior to the brief and consistent development with the idea, I believe that I have a step up from the deadline. The Idea I have decided that I will be developing relates to the subject I am currently discussing about in my essay. The subject of my essay is, the discussion of the influential effects and social impact that the subculture and genre of Cyberpunk has had on modern day ...

Denis Wood 'Everything Sings'

Image
During one of Rob Lycett's Thursday lectures, one of the Various Books we were suggested to read up on was a book called 'Everything Sings' by Denis Wood. The book features an innovative portrayal to mapping, the maps are rather unusual and possibly considered impractical which is what I like about them, Maps are created with a purpose and a job, to get you from point 'A' to point 'B'. Denis creates these maps but in a very different perspective instead of showing roads and train lines, he illustrates a map of a small vicinity where the only thing illustrated are little circles and squares labeled "disfigured trees". Denis surveyed a place called Boylan heights and throughout this book he documents various neighbourhoods using creative and interesting subjects such as 'Squirrel Highway' where he observed how the local wildlife would traverse, in this case Squirrels would use the telephone wires to travel safely over roads.  One of my pers...
