Session Review
Today's session was a surprise for I was expected to present the book I had chosen to Omid, then negotiate whether the book and extract were suitable; However, instead, the only mention of the book was whether we had produced initial sketches from the extract we have chosen; Although, in the brief, it clearly stated the book and extract must be negotiated first so I will still keep this in mind for next weeks session on Wednesday.
Instead, the class and I proceeded to experiment with clay and start creating the first stage for our character models, which was a wireframe with resin applied to the key joints. Thankfully Omid gave us the option of either creating the animal character from the first brief or the character forms our novel extracts; I had chosen to create the character Abraces from The Last Days of Pompeii since ancient Egypt interest along with the character himself.
Once the wireframe was built and the resin was applied trying to make the character stand on the CD stand was aggravating because of his tall structure he he fell on what substitute for a backside. So thanks to Omid I applied some wire as stands and some clay to stand to support him while the resin dried.
Overall this session was tedious, but enjoyable because the lesson felt like a refreshing new taste compared t the sketches we normally construct and present. I am still disheartened that the novel was not negotiated because I had originally expected this over the Worcester week.
