Twelve weeks fly by and this is it...half of the uni year is gone. Really looking forward to the next chapter. I been very productive and manage to finalize two of four assignments. To be honest there is two still remaining and its lots to do, but hopefully I be able to complete everything in time when I go back next year.
VISUAL STUDIES
As you know I finished my sculpture work last week. This week was mainly to finalize everything. annotation in sketchbook etc.
To improve my work I also create more digital edits to stick closer to required theme. Nowadays you can create everything with the right tools by one click, which I did, plus using just my mobile. After downloading Glitch effect app all I needed to do just to upload my picture. This is why I didn't wanted to make it so easy, but went trough the process of actually making something, than taking pictures and only then edit. I feel is added more value to my final piece, which I am very pleased about.
Hopefully tutors will too.

Overall it was very interesting assignment, mainly because forced me to look up art I never used to considering possible. But there are lots of artist making living creating rather fascinating works in order to make viewer's see world differently. After completing this brief I more certain that art can be anything.
STUDY SKILLS
Apart from seeing Lance and giving him a xmas card, that was my only sort of interaction with study skills this week. I finalize everything last week and there is nothing left. I will look forward next years new modules, but for now its over. I always try to get tricky things out of the way, to concentrate more on things I do enjoy.
FINE ART
Was nice to see Rowena as for a last two weeks I haven't been in in Thursdays. I told what I am doing, what progress I made etc. There is nothing really I can do in college anymore as working on my final piece, sort of research is done - experiment canvas also ready.
My final is still not what I want and there is some more work to be done. Will try to do it before Christmas, otherwise oils will no dry till deadline.
ILLUSTRATION
Its still in working progress - over the week I was experimenting with different kind of black pigments. Initially I wanted to do my illustrations with ink, but it sort of turns blue when dries so I think I am going to use watercolours instead. I want my illustrations be in sort of monochrome tone with maybe splash of colour somewhere.
I have not started yet at all, so there is real pressure now. will deliver my progress first week of new year.
With that in mind ~
Have a merry Christmas and Happy New year!
