ABSTRACT ALPHABET / PHOTOGRAPHY PROJECT   

OBSERVATIONAL/ LIFE DRAWINGS

 

Quick sketches of people in exterior places using pens, pastel and colour material.

 

Quick sketches using charcoal. 

 Pathway Project: I researched the state of mind when a person is under the influence of various substances, such as drugs.
Theoretically (s)he has no contact with the reality and (s)he is travelling in another world with illusions. At that moment s(he) cannot think logically and acts properly. My purpose is to show how you can see those things in real life, that you can feel that moment without making bad to yourself. I’m making shapes that shows that moment when s(he) under the influence of various substances and give them colours after  a research about them.  For my final piece i had create an interior about that different world in our imagination.

Graphic Design: The project was about creating promotional material for different products and I chose to make the identity and promotion for a homemade sweet shop. I chose a name designed a logo, business cards, promotion ideas package and the sign.
 

Printmaking: These are lino prints that I had made during the printmaking lesson. I used shapes form the location project and the cupcake from the graphic design project.

Location project: In this project I had to choose a physical location in order to analyse and explore. The location I selected was ‘’the Vereggaria hotel’’ which is deserted, damaged and old. I had to take pictures of the location, including objects and from these I began make various shapes, textures and experiment with different materials. Then got inspired from the research I use some shapes and forms to create 3D sculpture and was made using soap.

Based on the location project, I used some shapes and forms to create a 3Dimensional sculpture. The sculpture was made using soap. 

Painting: the idea was from an old picture of one room in the hotel. Is an old and damaged sofa contrast clear floor to show that many people after so many years they trying to restore it but nobody have done it yet.

Theater Design: the whole project was based on the phrase ‘’An old man move to the end end of the world.’’ and also on the location project, so I make an old man who represents the owner of the hotel that was my location project. That man it’s trying to get his past with him, to the end of world, because the hotel was his dream and was working hard all his life for it.

Exploration project:

I had different  task every day  that I had to experimented with different things such as textures, colours, analysis, collect  interesting  garbage found in different places, writing notes about them and research in the library. Recorded several objects that I use in a day and I made a collage of things that we thrown into the trash and see how important that each object is.

 Ceramics project:  The exploration was the main project for 3D design. I had to come up with a concept which will lead me to the creation of a ceramic piece and  designs for a product design or furniture. My concept is from a task that I did during the exploration project, “the invisible city” where I painted several cities and took their shapes and made designs. 

 Ceramic pieces inspired from the invisible cities. Each sphere represents a different city made out of different parts and forms. I then had to design and make a product that can house the ceramic pieces.  Using shapes from my research I extended my experimentation and created designs for the product design. My product design is  a composition of various tubes that can be placed in any shape and form and create a multi functional  piece that can hold  the ceramics.

Jewellery Design: I was given a painting and I was asked to create a jewellery design that would be inspired from the painting composition. My painting was by Kandinsky and I took the basic shapes and the colours and designed and made a ring. Inside there is a plastic tube with ink that joins the 3 separated levels. There are also small metallic balls that move through the holes of all the levels.

Textile Project: The task for this project was to research more into textiles art, techniques and inspired from the location project the theme, style, create designs and the final piece.

Pieces made out of lace and processed images, from the hotel, with fabric and thread or pictures printed on fabric

Animation Project: For the animation project I was asked to create a short animation clip. I used the method of stop motion using lego. This is a storyboard showing the idea of my story based on my location project. The main character represents every owner of the hotel who was desperately trying to save it and restore it.  However, due to the myths that the hotel was haunted for many years, nothing would ever be fixed.
A video of my short animated clip is submitted in my portfolio. https://vimeo.com/60744786
