Andrew Lord(Insperation for FMP)


These pots have a look of rotten and old The paint adds to this.
Above are some of the main pierces of Andrews work that I would like to use for inspiration. I really like the way his first piece seems to be made out of paper mache and looks all bitty .I shall be attempting re cerate this first piece in my own way.
Some information I found regarding Andrew Lord and his work was that most of his work uses matirals such as Ceramic, epoxy, gold leaf, encre de Chine and oak table. I may not be able to use these exact matireals but I can always find a substitute for them
He only really has 5 pieces of notable work but this is of no concern to me.
 Here is a piece I made out of wire cage.By doing this I got a unsure but needed design:


This is my vase in work using a marital called skrim.It helps the clay to not crack and makes my design more unique.In experimenting with this material I have found it to be quite fun to use as well.
I shall be using it in the future


Practice box and net

Using a Wash proof dressing strips box i recreated the net using illustrator.
I measured it exact to make sure it was to a professional standard.

Original brief-For my FMP/Starting work

Original Fmp ideas:
For my FMP project I have decided to try make us less cutlery (elements of shindogu have been inculded)most of my sketch work is in my folder but I have a example of one of the test cups I have made:
With this pot I included uneven textures and bumps.This would make it almost impossible for some one to use this cup as all the liquid would spill out of one of the sides. This is,of course, not even close to my final design but is still a idea. I shall be waiting till I am able to paint it.My thoughts are that if I use acrylic paint I can then paint over the pot in horrible,murky colours.This will add to the piece and make it so that no one would even want to pick it up.
Some close ups of my first idea:

A close up of the top part
*please note that on my past drawings of this idea I have measurements on how big my piece should be.This is only a example and most likely will be bigger.


other logos and possible directions pt2

Some logos that i shall be taking into consideration when making my final logo better.The puma one links into the leaping bunny(or in this case cat)idea.

This logo ended up not being my final one as i wanted to make it more simple.I have drawn to the bases with all my designs to ensure a fluid and bulky .

Constructivism(wikapedia)

    Constructivism was an artistic and architectural philosophy that originated in Russia beginning in 1919 and was a rejection of the idea of autonomous art. The movement was in favour of art as a practice for social purposes.
    Constructivism first appears as a positive term in Naum Gabo's Realistic Manifesto of 1920. Aleksei Gan used the word as the title of his book Constructivism, printed in 1922.[1] Constructivism was a post-World War I development of Russian Futurism, and particularly of the 'counter reliefs' of Vladimir Tatlin, which had been exhibited in 1915. The term itself would be invented by the sculptors Antoine Pevsner and Naum Gabo, who developed an industrial, angular style of work, while its geometric abstraction owed something to the Suprematism of Kazimir Malevich.
