Week 2

This week we have been making some armatures of a life model to make sculptures from. Below are my pictures of the three armatures I have made:






After that, the next day we had started sculpting the life model using clay. This experience was new to me but I preferred this method of 'drawing' the life model rather than using 2D as I was able to sculpt more precise to the model, allowing more freedom in this workshop. Below is my photographs of the clay model:

Week 1

This week I have gathered up objects for my site specific sculpture which I have to come up with a proposal for, for this module. After gathering various objects from around the Headlands near the Jewish cemetery I found some certain specific ones that were the most interesting:






I then came up with an idea that I think I will certainly develop. I have decided to collect more objects like these, like an archaeological dig in some ways, and cast these objects, putting them back in the landscape I found them from, making an intervention with the surroundings. I am them going to add tags, or aerial codes to them and write them down in a book, to mark out where these objects are, so that they can be found in real life. After I do that, the real objects I have found will be displayed with the book in a cabinet to show what has been collected etc. 

I really like the sound of this idea and hopefully it will work put successfully.
