Week 1 Class

So for our first lesson we went through the semester set up and general things like tools and materials. we then went on to select 5 adjectives and use them as inspiration for a few small creative projects.  I got the words: HOT, COLOURFUL, ANGULAR, POINTY and SOFT.  using these words as inspiration i created this beast

 

The rocket feet, aura of fire and warm/hot colours were how i chose to represent HOT.

Obviously the use of many colours created a COLOURFUL creation.

The sharp corners and lines made the beast look ANGULAR and POINTY,

While the rounded eyes and left appendage utilise curved lines to create a SOFT look.

We then used the five words and five pieces of paper to create a flat physical representation of each of the adjectives.  Finally we combined the five individual pieces of paper to create 3 3D forms.

This was my POINTY design.

A combination of my SOFT and COLOURFUL creations

ANGULAR and HOT

An experiment with both POINTY and SOFT/COLOURFUL

All five as 1 form

That was week 1. I enjoyed the class and feel that I got a reasonable taste of whats to come for the next 6 weeks.
