During the animal project I have found that I have a good skill of collage myself. So looking at Peter Clark for my artist sheet turned out to be quite easy. I enjoy using this type of media in this way as it can be very precise or very abstract. I especially like Peter Clark for his work, but to be more specific; this work with dogs and dresses, which is why I have looked at them on my artist sheet. I believe that my Peter Clark artist research sheet and profile went very well as I was able to try and recreate his work in the same media and also try other media’s, such as colour pencils and also water colour paints. I found that these types of media worked well but not as well as collage as he had used on them. This was because it was very hard to capture every little detail with not using the exact same materials that Peter Clark has used for his work. The three animals that I have chosen were; an owl, a caterpillar and a chameleon. The reason I chose an owl was because they are nocturnal birds, which means they are only awake during the night and then sleep all day. I am like this most of the time; I never want to get out of bed if it day time but at night I’m always wide awake until all hours. The reason that I have chosen a caterpillar was because they are very slow, lazy, always eating and then take ages to come out of there cocoon. This is very accurate for a description of me to be quite honest. The last animal I chose was a chameleon. This was because they can change their colour in seconds just like I can change moods. For this reason I chose this to be my animal of choice. Also another reason I chose it was because they like to blend in with the background and I am exactly the same. Their eyes are always on the move so they can see predators coming; this also is something that I share with a chameleon. For my final piece I chose to make a 3D model of a chameleon. I decided to do this because I thought that a 3D model would better reflect its feature than a 2D piece would; and I was right. The way I have constructed the model, shows off its topographies very effectively indeed. For this model I used the “cut out and slot together” method of construction to make it 3D. I planned out each type of part on my final design sheet and I also noted all the measurements that the will be in order to be correct and proportional. E.g. there will be two different sized body pieces and there measure up to be (#1) 10cm long and 5cm high; & (#2) will be 13cm long and 8cm high. For these pieces to fit on the model I have to make slots in the main body shape to slide them into. Also on the tail there will be a spilt pin in it so that it is able to move up and down. To be able to attach the tail without it looking too silly, I’m making two of them. Then I will stick them together leaving 2cm’s at the wide end not glued so that it can slip it on the main body. After that I will then, and only then; will the split pin be stick in it for the movement. This idea was carried out and proved to be very successful. I have found that the method that I have used, has shown to be effective and it works to a high standard. I have defiantly improved my model making skills from when I was doing Level 2 in school. This is because I have planned out every step I was going to take before I actually did any model making. This is a good thing to do as then if you make a mistake you know where you have made it and not have to re-do the whole thing again. During this project I think that I have managed my time very well compared to other projects I have done recently; this is because I was able to had the projected in on time, with everything that was required and finished to what I think was a good standard. I do think that with the time we were given that I produced good work within that time fame. So to put that another way, I think that time fame (of 6 weeks max) we were given, compared to the amount of work set was more than enough time to complete all the work to at least a satisfactory standard. My overall thoughts about this project are that I really like it because it made me look more closely as myself and my personality. This was a good thing because now I can use this in maybe other future projects too. I found that I really love to make 3D models and also collage too.

MATISSE

Drawing with Scissors. Late Works 1950-1954

An exhibition of work by the French painter, sculptor and designer Henri Matisse (1869-1954).

The French painter, sculptor and designer Henri Matisse (1869-1954) was one of the 20th century’s most influential artists. His vibrant works are celebrated for their extraordinary richness and luminosity of colour and his spectacular paper cut-outs were his final triumph.

Matisse: Drawing with Scissors, a Hayward Touring exhibition from the Southbank Centre, features 35 posthumous prints of the famous cut-outs that he produced in the last four years of his life, when confined to his bed.

It includes many of his iconic images, such as The Snail and the Blue Nudes. A Hayward Touring exhibition from Southbank Centre, London.

Responsible Fishing UK

Stone Balancing, natural sculpture and land art.

Responsible Fishing UK is an arts collective established by artist James Brunt and photographer Timm Cleasby. Working together on a series of projects to create dramatic installations and images.

Timm Cleasby is a photographer based in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, his work covers many aspects of photography including artistic, social and commercial. Timm’s interest in photography started in 1991 with several art based projects with a friend.  He is always looking for the perfect composition and angles to create drama and narrative within his images.

James Brunt is an artist and stone balancer based in South Yorkshire, he works both conceptually and visually with the common ground always being the artworks response to a solid reality, a time, a place, a journey, or a routine. He was introduced to the art of stone balancing after seeing stones balanced on the beach in Lyme Regis, Dorset.  The dramatic point of balance is both poetically fragile to look at and yet deceptively solid due to the nature of the raw material.

The stone balancing images aim to combine the charm of some of the UK’s best known landscapes with incredible, seemingly impossible natural sculpture.  Often taking on a human quality, a lonely figure staring out to sea, a lookout watching over the land or maybe just a stack of rocks that defy what we think we know about nature and science, the images are created from the raw materials found around the locations. The drama and allure of the images along with the spectacular balances draw the viewer in to the humanity of the structures against the beauty of our home.

Zoe-trope History

Zoetrope History

Zoetrope is an an animated vintage toy that was originally developed in 1830s. The Zoetrope has recently been a major feature in the film, “The Woman In Black” starring Daniel Radcliffe.

This is a modern replica of a traditional Zoetrope. A zoetrope is a device that produces the illusion of motion from a rapid succession of static pictures.

The zoetrope consists of a cylinder with slits cut vertically in the sides. On the inner surface of the cylinder is a band with images from a set of sequenced pictures. As the cylinder spins, the user looks through the slits at the pictures across. The scanning of the slits keeps the pictures from simply blurring together, and the user sees a rapid succession of images, producing the illusion of motion.

Jonathan Borofsky - Profile

  

Jonathan Borofsky

Born: December 24, 1942 (age 72), Boston, Massachusetts, United States
Books: Subject(s)
Education: Yale University, Carnegie Mellon University, Yale School of Art 

Jonathan Borofsky is an American sculptor and printmaker who lives and works in Ogunquit, Maine. 

Jonathan Borofsky's most famous works, at least among the general public, are his Hammering Man sculptures. "Hammering Men" have been installed in various cities around the world. The largest Hammering Man is in Seoul, Korea and the second largest is inFrankfurt, Germany. Other Hammering Men are in Basel, Switzerland, Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York, Seattle,Washington, D.C. and Lillestrøm, Norway.

Commissioned by developer Harlan Lee, Borofsky’s 30-foot-tall sculpture Ballerina Clown was erected above the entrance to a drug store in a mixed use, residential and commercial building in Venice, California in 1989. It was motorized so that its right leg would perpetually kick until tenant complaints were lodged about mechanical noise.^[5] In 1990, the Newport Harbor Art Museum commissioned Ruby, a 5-foot-tall plastic sculpture containing an internal lighting system and swaying, diamond-shaped light deflectors.^[6]

In 1999, three of his Molecule Man sculptures, standing 100 feet tall, were set directly into the Spree River in Berlin as a commission for German insurance company Allianz.^[7]

In 2004, the City of Baltimore, through its public arts program, commissioned Jonathan Borofsky to create a sculpture as the centerpiece of a re-designed plaza in front of Penn Station. The work is a 51-foot (15.5 m)-tall aluminum statue titled "Male/Female." For information on the controversy generated by Borofsky's Male/Female sculpture, see "Pennsylvania Station (Baltimore)"Pennsylvania Station (Baltimore).

In May 2006, Borofsky's "Walking to the Sky"^[8] was permanently installed on the campus of Carnegie Mellon University near the intersection of Forbes Avenue and Morewood Avenue in Pittsburgh. The piece was temporarily installed at Rockefeller Center during the fall of 2004 and in 2005 at the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas, Texas.

  Human Structures (San Francisco), 36 feet tall, galvanized and painted steel. Permanent installation, 555 Mission Street, San Francisco, 2008

   Walking Man, 9.1 meters tall, stainless steel. Permanent installation, Kreissparkasse building, Verden, Germany, 2005

Christian Boltanksi - Profile

    Christian Boltanski

Born	6 September 1944 (age 70) Paris, France
Nationality	French
Known for	Sculpture, Painting, Photography,Installation art

He is the brother of Luc Boltanski and the partner of Annette Messager.

Installation art[edit]

In 1986, Boltanski began creating mixed media/materials installations with light as essential concept. Tin boxes, altar-like construction of framed and manipulated photographs (e.g. Chases School, 1986–1987), photographs of Jewish schoolchildren taken in Vienna in 1931, used as a forceful reminder of mass murder of Jews by the Nazis, all those elements and materials used in his work are used in order to represent deep contemplation regarding reconstruction of past. While creating Reserve (exhibition atBasel, Museum Gegenwartskunst, 1989), Boltanski filled rooms and corridors with worn clothing items as a way of inciting profound sensation of human tragedy at concentration camps. As in his previous works, objects serve as relentless reminders of human experience and suffering. His piece, Monument (Odessa), uses six photographs of Jewish students in 1939 and lights to resembleYahrzeit candles to honor and remember the dead. "My work is about the fact of dying, but it's not about the Holocaust itself."

Additionally, his enormous installation titled "No Man's Land" (2010) at the Park Avenue Armory in New York, is a great example of how his constructions and installations trace the lives of the lost and forgotten.

Exhibitions[edit]

Christian Boltanski has participated in over 150 art exhibitions throughout the world.^[5] Among others, he had solo exhibitions at theNew Museum (1988), the Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein, Magasin 3 in Stockholm, the La Maison Rouge gallery, Institut Mathildenhöhe, the Kewenig Galerie, The Musée d'Art et d'Histoire du Judaïsme and many others.^[5]

From 1 July to 25 September 2011, museum Es Baluard (Mallorca, Spain) exhibited "Signatures", the installation Christian Boltanski conceived specifically for Es Baluard and which is focused on the memory of the workers who in the 17th Century built the museum's walls.

In 2002, Boltanski made the installation "Totentanz II", a Shadow Installation with copper figures, for the underground Centre for International Light Art (www.lichtkunst-unna.de) in Unna, Germany.
