....

ok so i dont think that last post worked out too well... il try work on that.,....

sounds!

oooh hello blog......

so christmas is basically over, and i finally got around to doing some art!

This is something i put together using sound as my materials..... Hopefully it will upload properly!!

a trip to the wax room

went to the wax room today because i was a bit stuck with what i was doing. i decided i needed to be productive so i cut up some wires and took off downstairs... im quite happy with what i ended up with!!

this is only a very small collection of the photos i took!!!

more photoshop!

im starting to really enjoy this photoshop stuff. i had a folder full from last year of lots of photoshop pieces and a description of how i did them. So i rooted that out to try put this together.!! i was thinking of how soundwaves get bigger as sounds get louder... so do people react this way?? When the music is quiet people tend to make small movements.. and as it gets louder people jump around and have big body movements...
i have yet to prove this, however i did some photoshop based on my opinion!!!

I had so much fun doing this and was delighted when it came out of the printer!!
i know i have already done a piece with photoshop but in this one i used some of my own photography!!!

wires and ribbon!

About 2 weeks ago i was tried out a wire thing... i wanted to get a bit bigger than the canvas size. So i used a part of the wall just to see if it would work out. My aim, was to once again portray sound moving from one place to another, gradually getting louder. I started of tight and the wires then dispersed outward to give off the effect of the sound moving from its source.

I also wanted to try out different materials. I found some ribbon i had stored in a box and while watching the telly i decided to draw on sound waves using markers..... the ribbon was not too long but not short either !

Here are some photos of part of the ribbon...

bamboo soundwaves

I had gotten some bamboo from the materials store and prepared it to make a sculpture i had planned weeks ago. However i didnt cmoplete this sculpture.
Last week, though, i decided to turn it into something different. I glued all the pieces together to make some colourful soundwaves!

I wanted to make it bigger and longer, but they were too heavy to add more to.
But all the same i do like these!!

A bit of photoshop!

Since i am keen on graphic design i decided that i need to create a piece using photoshop.
I used pictures from the internet for this one but i am going to take my own photos and use them for further photoshop pieces..
This is what i came up with.

recycling my materials!

While i was doing my wax piece, which i posted about last week, i used a piece of card to hold the wax while it was wet. after it dried i peeled off the wax and liked the marks it left on the card...
I decided to make something of this as we had a sustainable design talk last monday. I used oil pastels to make more marks on it turning it into a speaker emitting sounds. This was the result....

This is a photo of part of my wall at the moment...
