Art deco

 Art Deco is an influential visual arts design style that first appeared in France after World War I and began flourishing internationally in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s before its popularity waned after World War II.^[1] It is an eclectic style that combines traditional craft motifs with Machine Age imagery and materials. The style is often characterized by rich colours, bold geometric shapes and lavish ornamentation. (Taken from Wikipedia)

Vogue magazine front.I really like this picture simply because of the elegance behind it. The way the woman holds the mirror does appear to be very' vogue' .I also like the slight colour fade throughout all the picture. And both blues go well together. 

poster Art deco themed.This picture personally made me think of Futurism and what futurists were trying to achieve with their pictures and ideas(futuristic goals like machines) 

I will most likely be using the ideas of having buildings in the back ground,foreground,e.g...

Art deco paper craft.

Although I would not know how to incorporate paper craft into my work I still like the way this piece has been put together. Using paper and crafted roses seems like a smart idea.

As seen above are some examples of art deco. These pictures give off a 1930 vibe. 

Worksop bus shelter update

Today we met with the project manger for the Worksop bus station build. He hinted that it would be a 1930 theme(art deco style).He very much insisted that it look as professional as possible. Other factors we were told to consider were how detailed we made the final design. If it was too complicated there may be problems printing it out. Simplifying ideas is a option if the final idea becomes a problem. Another thing he said was that he only wanted small areas fully optic as he wanted peoples view to not be blocked
We did not get any implications as to what colour of the piece would be but he may have preferred but he said he didn't want them to be to bright. He kept stressing that he didn't want to but any parameters on what we could and couldn't do on the work.
I have now got a better idea of what to do in my final design but I will have to wait until I find out what the colour of the integer will be before I decide the colour of the outside.

Phillip Jackson (sculpture)

(Taken from Google)

while searching for more sculptures I came upon Peter Jackson 

Who won the National peace sculpture.

I found these sculpture very intresting and I love the way the full body is shown.

Henry Moore (Sculpture)

best known for his semi-abstract monumental bronze sculptures which are located around the world as public works of art.

His forms are usually abstractions of the human figure, typically depicting mother-and-child or reclining figures. Moore's works are usually suggestive of the female body, apart from a phase in the 1950s when he sculpted family groups. His forms are generally pierced or contain hollow spaces.

Here I have selected a few of his most well knows pieces:

When doing my sculpture work I will consider the body shapes and the way he portrays the female body.

Worksop Bus shelter (wall murals)

As I was researching into how I could present my work I came upon Art murals
Some of which showed a great splash of colour.While others used simple black and white.
I hope that in the future we will be able to use colour in our work as this help me in the progression of my work. Here are some examples of art murals:

These would be the more classic ones like this:

We're made in the ancient times to depict God's and goddesses of the times.

Model and sculpture work pt.3

This is one of the guides I used to develop my sculpture. I have decided to switch from my Fruit face idea, to something I could develop. This is still going on the idea that fruit is good for your body . I have decided to decorate the horns with fruit (which I will make out of clay) while the body and face is made out of Mod rock and chicken wire.
I have included in my research some horn texture ideas that I hope will help me in the future.
Plus at the bottom right I have found a skeleton structure that may come in handy.
Here is a basic sketch of my idea:

I have already made the base and my next step is to begin to add detail. I will leave painting the model till the very last as I do not want to ruin it. T
Through out this course I have to remember to wear safety gear (Goggles,gloves,Etc..)
As working with Chicken wire sometimes results in having scratches and nicks.

modeling and sculpting Pt.2

I researched diffrent face shapes for my work
Female:

I liked this picture because of the way it shows the shape of the face through triangles.

With this guide you could easily construct a face.

This guide helps me with both drawing and sculpting.

Also I wanted to find diffrent skin texture e.g older skin with blemishes 

And a younger less blemishes face type

I feel these will help me to get the shape and texture of my work in the future.
