3D work, research related to my major project

-

 Tim Noble and Sue Webster. I chose those artists because their work is closely related to my main project and they are: "mixing the strategies of modern sculpture and the attitude of punk to make art from anti-art. Their work derives much of its power from its fusion of opposites, form and anti-form, high culture and anti-culture, male and female, craft and rubbish, sex and violence. "(Tim Noble and Sue Webster,2011) 

Both of them finished Nottingham Trent University with  Honorary Degree, Doctor of Art in 2006. Sue Webster started her art education in 1985 by Foundation Course in Leicester Polytechnic, where she was born then she studied Fine Art in Nottingham Polytechnic with Tim Noble. 

The artists using ordinary things and rubbish to create their work, then they point light to projected shadows which show as something totally different such a portraits, animals or whole human statues. The collaboration of those two artists creates amazing, extraordinary and unique art. Their studio is based in London where there successfully working together since many years. Sue Webster in one on the interview been asked about the secret of that long and successful relationship said:

" Tim is a floater, his heads is in the clouds, I'm Earth person and my feet are firmly on the ground. So I'm very practical person and he is not practical at all. I'm sort of order and he is chaos" 

Opposite attracts, however they both love art , have similar sense of humour and creates in the same area, understands each other. The "Wild mood swings" shows the shadows of Sue and Tim sitting on the chairs, facing back to each other, which is very interesting because their figures are created from two step ladders and discarded wood.

"wild mood swings"  2009-10

How their work is related to my project? Despite the fact that both of them showing punk attitude by their art and how they live, they also sending massage trough art. It is often a manifest against something. I love the story behind "The Bad Little Christmas Tree" How Tim Noble said in the interview he didn't want to threw the " sad little three" after Christmas and he keep it. That what happened with it after was kind of self destruction and also shows its real naughty fascist face.

The "Punk's Not Dead" project is a big part of me and the life which I left behind in Poland, not only because I moved to England but also because I needed to grew up, find the job and be more mature and responsible with decisions as a mother. I would love to live Noble and Webster's life and be able to pay bills from my art. I think they are lucky and brave at the same time. There is part of punk in me, I still love that music and we are still going to the gigs (next is Rammstein in June) , however anarchism, "no future" slogans and my world perceptions have changed. This project let me became a punk again and to create better work I thought as a punk and I listen plenty of punk music, which was very inspirational and emotional time.

    Quite a lot of biography here, would have liked to have learnt a bit more about how their work links to yours - they use a 'punk' ethic in their work, behaviour and way they dress. Whilst they were together, their work and lives were intertwined. People often say that being part of a subculture is 'a way of life', the same goes for Punk and for those within the tattooing community. I think you need to make better, more intelligent links to what you are doing and what you are representing.

Eco Academy Tote Bag mock up

 Finally I was bereave  enough to experiment with the Photoshop to create the tote bag for the school. I  started with the mock up picture which I found on the free mock up website, and I downloaded it on the laptop.  After transferring the picture to the Photoshop I used a clone tool to remove the design which was already there, however a few minutes after I have finished designing the bag I learned how to do it in completely different way. I knew I am doing something wrong as it took me to long .    I used the same free background logo which I created earlier in Procreate . I fit it to the tote bag size and I saved the picture in jpg, choosing "file" and " save as"  on the left top corner . I am happy with the results, the picture is sharp in a good quality.

 In my project I will draw illustrations to a short story for children, therefore this research will help me to find information and answer to the big question: " What's make the great children book illustration? "  There is many factors what I need to consider before I will start drawing: - the age group.  - type an style of illustrations suitable for this age group - the book style - how many illustration I will include in my page. - what to avoid in the illustrations for children To decide in what style I will draw the pictures is also very important. Is that will be more cartoony or scary or is the pictures are relevant to the story. For example soft and gentle illustrations would not be perfect for a story about monsters. Go to the library an look at the real children's book is a good place to find the inspirations.  Is important to decide how many illustrations will be included in the book and what type of illustrations they are. That will affect to overal layo...

During the meeting with the Tutor ,we have discussed everything regarding to my project. I have introduced my ideas and my first sketches to the book. "The magic of the amulet" is a story written by my friend's daughter. There are three main characters - Abby the little girl who lives on the tropical Island with her friends: Olivia the dolphin and Patrick the crab. I already know how they will look like. I need to think how to draw the Island and mermaids. In my head it will be a magical and colorful,  fantasy World.  My first idea was to draw 4 pictures based on the story and to make front and back cover. The Tutor advice was to create two more pages as the story will be more interesting and easier to read for the children. We talk trough every page and I am convinced now that is good idea to draw two additional pages. I will use Procreate and Flipsnack and I will make a mock book  to be able to see how will my book look in real life. I was so excided with this idea , th...
