Paint workshop
we did a paint work shop to test how good our colour palette's were. i was given different topics to research and collect images of that certain theme, for example 'Indian' i would collect a variety of colourful images that represented Indian, then pick out the most favoured colours and put into a palette.
as shown my themes i chose to display are Autumnal and Bank. i simply collected lots of images and in photoshop selected the most common colours associated with that particular theme.
Here for each i picked 1 of 4 palettes and used them to create different colour layouts for this print. i believe this task really helped and made me think about colour a lot more thoroughly. i also believe i nailed each theme with the colours i chosen and im happy with how i approached this task.

void life void essay
This project from the start was tricky for me as I hated the idea of nothingness but i gripped this project with both hands and I believe I created a decent final piece.
This project was massive and we could explore every corner of void life void from the micro to the macro but I chose to work with light, the light of life as my starting point.
I started by looking at all types of light such as the light hitting down into a well, also the sky window created by James Turrell currently exhibited in Yorkshire sculpture park, I also looked at the tree of life. Then i got an idea of people and animals combined with light. I looked at Makoto Tojiki's work with his light sculptures of animals and males, which followed into looking at light sculptures.
I believe all my research up to this point has pushed me into finding Mihoko Ogaki's amazing LED light sculptures. She creates plastic fibre-reinforced models of a human figure and fills with lights to show her theme of life, death and rebirth. Finding this artist helped me a lot as this was the starter to creating my piece. What really caught me about Ogaki's sculptures was how the lights created the image of a person, I found it amazing and I relate it strongly to the essence of life, what creates a human but also how innocent her sculptures seem.
After researching thoroughly I had decided to create my own piece strongly influenced by Ogaki's work. So I started testing how to make the glimpses of light. I tried holding black paper in front of light and piercing little holes, it worked but it wasn't the effect I really wanted. so I re-thought my idea and how I could make it work, I drew a story board to see what my idea would look like then create a short animation out of it which helped massively because it showed what I was doing right and what I was doing wrong. I came up with the idea of creating a clay model and flicking paint on to form the illusion of stars inside the body and the essence of life. But then I had another problem, the lighting and how I was going to get the right effect I wanted. So after a lot of thinking i painted my model white and had it placed on a white background and flicked black paint to create the stars. After 350 frames in stop motion I took the sequence into after effects where I inverted the animation so it was black background with white stars and I went through each of the 350 frames and masked out all the shadows to get only the stars. Once I was happy I added the effect of glow which helped massively because the stars looked like they were glowing and it lit up the piece making it look really realistic.
I believe reflecting on my piece I could have done further research into other areas of void life void to get a varied choice of ideas but ultimately I created a really decent piece that, in my eyes represents void life void and that is what I was attempting to capture.

V.L.V final piece
For my final piece i decided to create a clay model and use stop motion to make my main sequence.
Using Mihoko Ogaki's sculptures i created a clay model and using stop motion i created the star effect by using a tooth brush and black ink. Every other frame i would flick a little ink on to create the effect of the stars appearing, it took 350 frames to complete.
After having my base i had to invert it and then go through every frame to cancel out the remaining light to only get the star effect which took a really long time. Once done i put my video in after effect to correct the movement add the start and ending and also add the glowing to make the stars more effective and realistic.
The sound i used was from a baby's mobile, i believed using a subtle sound would represent the piece perfectly.
I believe for this project ceased a good chance to show the essence of life. With the project being void life void the possibilities were endless but i chose to follow this subject, researched, got good ideas and created a really decent piece i believe.
If i could think of a way to improve this piece i would have tried a few other different methods to try and improve this piece.

star light man piece
For a practice, i drew my own sequence to my star man then used photoshop and after effects to put them together to create this short animation to how i would like my piece to look. Doing this opened the door further on how to develop this idea to make it work.
On this piece i simply inverted to create the opposite effect to see what white stars would look like on black background.
