SECOND YEAR :D

so im a bit delayed with the blog after the summer but hows ever :P.... have my first assessment today on our first brief.. the brief was to do with having to pick an animal at random, draw many sketches out of our heads without any research into our sketch books... so to strat off with mine i drew many different types of animals- from a hedgehog to a ostrich and then after it all finally a dog.. i characterised my dog so that he would be in running motion. once i had made all my draws of him, i then moved onto the paper making where i made little paper maquettes of these.. i spent a few days on the paper  and then in my final days of the project i went onto the  clay modelling of this animal.. at fist this was dificult as i wasn't able to master the ability to have him standing up.. eventually i got the hang of it, i let the clay harden over night then stood him upright , his legs then had a bit of balance and i also used a small wooden stick from the canteen, normally in use for the oul tea stirring. ha. so today we've the assessments on this project so hopefully all goes well!!!
