Photos- Light

 
     I noticed the sunlight on the water from my shower and was fascinated by how i could see the lines of water. I took photos from an upward angle, downward and straight on. Each perspective changed how the movement of the water looked looked. I was also took by how the water shined, appearing like falling diamonds.

   
I took photos of this candle as it has pressed flowers and leaves around the edge. I will press some flowers as well and use them in paintings or collages. I liked how the candle light illuminated through, it made me think about my chosen song and how her love for her crush inspired her to want to live in reality. However she lost her chance, just like how a candle can easily be blown out. I really like this metaphor and will devlop it through experiments of the visuals.

Paint and PVA Glue Experiment Continues

      Using the same mixture i used for the second net experiment. I dripped the paint on the acetate. It looked really beautiful when it was wet, especially how the colours mixed and moved together. Unfortunately i lost the detail slightly as it dried. The colours became more dull and the mixture was weak which showed once dry. There is still really nice sections like the yellow turning green in the blue and how the blue crosses over to red. Unfortunately, some drips broke when pulled up due to the weakness.    To improve this i will make a stronger mixture and build up the drips with layers so they are thicker.    I decided to use a different PVA glue which worked really well with the paint. However, i used it differently so didnt find out if the first PVA glue was the mixtures problem. I poured PVA glue onto acetate which had some yellow and green print marks on. I did this as the glue picked up the colours on the back. Then i painted on the glu...

Netting

      I poured the remainder of the acrylic, water and PVA glue mixture onto the netting. I created this folds by tying the end together. I wanted the folds so the netting was similar to an underskirt with layers that the dancers would be wearing. I wish i filmed the paint dripping on it as i was surprised to see the paint run off as if it was on paper and not holes.      I really like this photo of the netting, alone on a black background. It makes the white pop and look unusual as the background is so clean compared to the netting. Unfortunately, the paint dried a little dull, i think if it was more vibrant it would really add another layer to this photo.     To develop this i would like to try placing the netting differently for different styles of layering it. Additionally, i could paint each layer a separate colour then see how they show through altogether.      I took these photos to see inside the netting whilst the paint ...

Flip Book

   I created a flip book so i could create movement in the drawing. As i had never done one before i only drew a simple stick figure as i also struggled drawing so small. I found consistency is important to create a flip book as part way through the size of my drawing changes slightly. Unfortunately, due to the drawing being of a stick figure its not so obvious to what is happening and doesnt look quite so elegant. I was trying to show the processes of the ballet dancers i took photos of lifting their leg up and going onto the tip of their toes. Furthermore, the paper of the book i used is too thick which makes flipping it a little difficult and the drawing doesnt move so swiftly because of it. However, i do think this is an efficient way to create an animation and i would like to develop my skill and try it again in the future.    I used the space above to create another small animation, this time i drew two figures joining to perform a lift. I like this one m...
