Video of Sculpture

This is a quick video I made to record one of my sculptures. In the video I move the camera to three different positions around the sculptures to document the piece. The video shows the connection between the viewer’s space and the sculptures space. Depending on the position the viewer is in determines how the shapes in the sculptures are seen.     

Week Twelve

 

This week I continued my exploration into colour. I glazed some of my ceramic pieces. I took a more painterly approach with these pieces blending the colours together rather than being precise. I used a colour palette of blues, purples and greens to give the sculptures a subtle visual appeal. This is in contrast with how I dealt with colour with my other sculptures. In the white boxes I used blocks of colour to define the space. The geometric shapes along with the primary and complimentary colours combine to make a more instantly striking visual impact. Above are also examples from my sketchbook where I was looking at designs and colours for the sculptures. Next week I will finish glazing my ceramics and I will also finish painting my other sculptures.  

Week Eleven

Last week I created more sculptures out of wood and painted them white. I cut out the basic geometric shapes and presented them so you can observe how the shape warps as you walk around it. This demonstrates how the space we occupy alters how we perceive an object. I also began investigating colour as seen from the extracts from my sketchbook. I have been looking at complimentary colours and the primary colours and how they interact with one another. I have also been looking at how colour interacts with the different geometric shapes. I also experimented with materials such as paper and cardboard and tried to manipulate them in unusual ways in order to create my sculptures. Next week I will develop my investigation into colour further and I will begin painting my wooden sculptures and glazing my ceramic pieces.
