OVERALL REFLECTION:

This course has taught me the importance of presenting your ideas and works visually. the course taught me how to show my creativeness and skill without talking about it. In the 3 workshops i chose (motion, atlas, model making) my final piece at the end of the 4 week workshop was unique, elaborate and presented my ideas.

My 3 workshops worked well together as they relied on skills i dont usually use. I created and edited my first still shot film. Painted and used photoshop in my atlas and learnt how to build an abstract 3D scaled model.

This course has really brought out my creative side and i will utilise this in subsequent courses.

The ideas and concepts I learnt in my first workshop, architecture in motion transcended to atlas of colour where I successfully incoroporated the colours I used in my film to create an atlas which was bold and brash.

Making the atlas was a fiddley task which required precision with measuring and neatness when joining the pages. The skills I learnt when making the atlas helped me with my model making, as model making required precision measuring, cutting and glueing.

MODELLING

I have really enjoyed the modelling workshop.

• I have learnt how to use different materials, (Balsa & box-board).
• i have learnt how to use different scales.

I enjoyed the workshop because it was so hands on.

I found it hard to be so precise wih measurements. I also found it difficult to present/construct ideas and thoughts you had about your model.

ATLAS OF COLOUR- MY BEST WORK

These are some of my best works which i produced while doing the atlas of colour workshop. I really enjoyed how different tools, programs and methods were utilised in the different exercises.

My tunnel book uses achromatic tones, black & white. The use of these two colors allowed me to create a tunnel which had great depth. The white pages gave off the impression they were travelling towards the viewer, whilst the black pages give the impression they are travelling away from the viewer.

ATLAS OF COLOUR

i submitted my atlas on the 16th of september.
i was really happy with all the exerises i completed during the duration of the course. i really put a lot of effort into to achieve work that i was really proud of.

my final product looked sophisticated with the red front cover and sleek black and white tunnel book at the back.

my only negativity about my atlas would be the difficulty in getting it to stand upright, so that the full effects of my tunnel book can be observed.

i found the workshop very interesting, however i feel too much time in the workshops was used up talking about the layout of books, which left alot of the excersises to do at home.

my favourite task was creating my personal color wheel. i did not enjoy the part where we had to manipulate the plan and elevation as i have limited experience with photoshop.
