week 14

PRINTMAKING
This week I made my first proper prints! I did it of 2 blind drawings at a concert I watched last week, a cellist and a flute and piano duet. I think it turned out quite well too, used the right amount of arm pressure, to get a good amount of ink transferred to the paper. I also believe it was beginners luck as everyones went well, and we got guidance! I think what I really love about printing as Mandy said, "It's the best combination of mixing the old with the new." I love rolling the press wheel; like rolling back time. I used a press similar to the one below however the one I used had a massive wheel and generally larger. But both from the 18th Century.

PHOTOGRAPHY

I now have the photos we took in the studio from a few weeks ago. We took photos of objects and art and learnt how to adjust the light etc depending it being flat or and object.

ANIMATION
Today in film we had a trouble shooting session where we could ask lots of questions about what we didn't understand and surprisingly it lasted 4 hours!! In the break Martin showed us a funny video...

I also edited the Bird-Scissor-Ladder animation from a few weeks back with music now. The song playing is ironically 3 little birds by the legend Bob Marley and then some recorded bird noises I made last week, as the weather was nice and birds came out to sing. I then edited it all on Final Cut.
