This week we spent alot of the day working on our sketch books because we are behind and need to catch up so were not rushing about at last minute trying to catch up on work from weeks ago. This is good because then we all know that we are on track with work and also checking them regularly will help us if we have done any work wrong or missed something out or need to start something again.
After we where learning about a artist called Phillippe Halsman and one of his peices calle Dali Atomicus. It is a picture where he has some things hanging so it looks like they are floating and he is jumping. There are also cats being thrown across the page and water. We learnt how this picture was done in different layers so when the watter is going accross the man and nothing else gets wet and the chair is hung on the ceeling by a wire. Its a very impressive peice of work but the best part was when we got into groups and tryed to re creat the piece of work. unfortunatly we wernt aloud to through cats. I wanted to be the one who was jumping but so did James and i knew i couldnt beet James so i was the person holding the chair instead of the chair hanging Kara was throughing the water and Emily was taking the photo. Well it started off with emily doing the water and kara taking the photo but they swapped around. We worked well as a group and got quite a fue good pictures so it was hard to pick only one to stick into our books we couldnt all agree on just one picture so we stuck two in. After i had worked in my group i went and helped another group because they needed someone to through the water. It took ages and the builders kept watching and laughing witch was abit off putting but we still carried on working. James wasn't getting the picture taken at the right time so when Miss came out she helped and we got it right after about 3 shots .
Next week we will be getting our breif about our project and what our peice of art has to be about and what it will have to include to be able to be shown in the place.
