Studio Workshop:Photoshop colour London landmark drawings for poster

I have developed colour version using the colour filter on Photoshop exactly using the same technique I used for colouring the landmarks as I did for the colour Photoshop version of the invitation. My intention is for when the exhibition is up my work links well together and the poster would work well with the Photoshop colour invitation and the gouache painted invitation as the colours are used are similar. When the exhibition is set up my work should all fit well together with the idea of my work representing London.  

Studio Workshop: Photoshop colour museum drawings

Here I have taken my drawings I did from my visit to The Museum of London and using the colour filter on Photoshop added colour to the drawings. I added colours which were similar to some of the colours from the objects. I wanted to create colour versions of my sketches as I am thinking about using them for the poster I am designing for the Studio Workshop exhibition.

Studio Workshop: further London landmark drawings

 

I have drawn a series of London landmarks which I intend to use for the poster. The idea to continue with the development of my invitation. I have redrawn the London landmarks which I included as part of my invitation attempting to produce better illustrations of them. Like the invitation I intend to produce a collage of the landmarks together. The landmarks all being well known and associated with London. The poster needing to relate to my visit and the memento I had developed based around my visit to The Museum of London.

 

 The poster is designed to advise my 3D object within the exhibition about the Studio Workshop. Everyone involved within the workshop all visit places within London which I felt my poster would fir in well with the exhibition as a whole as the poster is designed to represent London.  

Studio Workshop: diary entry 3D object

Dear diary


I continued with the development of my 3D object by creating a set of four clay keys. I based the 3D clay key objects around my memento design and cardboard maquette of a key. Instead of cutting a key shape out from rolled out clay, I rounded different sections of clay into the shape of my key illustration, I enlarged from my visit to The Museum of London. For the top end of the key for the section which normally fits into a lock, I cut out the shapes from flat pieces of clay. This was advised to me from the technician that it would be best to cut out those shapes and stick them to the rolled out section of clays which formed the basic key shape, due to the ends being small and having a difficult shape to craft by hand.

I later left them to dry completely, before I could have them fired in the kiln. I then developed hand written fonts of five different phrases each to go with one of the keys, which related to my diary entry. The phrases being, dull, boring, not artistic, don’t open, and no second date. Later I painted the fonts in acrylic paint. Each phrase being painted in a different colour. I painted one of the phrases each either in blue, green, red, yellow, and orange. I plan to have the four clay keys layered out on a table with one of the phrases under them painted the same colour under them relating the keys to the phrase, each key representing a key to either, boredom, dullness, non-artistic, don’t open and, no second date.   


For my diary entry I explained the process and the development of creating my 3D object, the diary entry presenting my ideas, thoughts, and ideas for future development of the 3D object. 

 

       

 

   

 

Studio Workshop: 3D object

 

 

 

I developed my 3D objects choosing to create four clay keys all being based around the drawing of a medieval key I produced while at The Museum of London. The clay keys had been developed based around my memento design and cardboard maquette of the key.

 

    For the development of the keys I got a piece of clay rolled out and rounded pieces of clay to form the centre and bottom half of the key. For the section of the key which would normally go in the lock I carved out the shapes from a flat piece of clay.

 

I now intend to produce letter fonts for five phrases, only chosen to use four of them which would be placed on the wall by the keys in the exhibit. I intend to create metal wall hooks for the keys to be hung up for the exhibition.

Studio workshop: memento diary entry

Dear diary after my visit to The Museum of London I later decided to create a 3D object based around on of the drawings from the visit. I developed a memo of the object I intent to form. The memo presents an illustration of the key I drew at the museum. I intent to produce a series of five different keys with different messages on them relating to my diary entry from the museum visit. The memo presenting clearly my ideas and how I intent to develop my 3D objects.

I later produced a maquette based around the memo design with cardboard. I photocopied the drawing from my sketch book and enlarged it. I got a piece of cardboard and card around the enlarged version of the drawing creating a cardboard outline of the drawing. I later copied the process creating another cardboard copy, which using a glue gun stuck the two cardboard outlines together so the maquette would have a wider width giving the maquette more of a 3D element towards it. The cardboard maquette was intended to be a copy of what the clay versions would look like. I felt the cardboard version worked well as it clearly presents my intentions and gives me the stepping stone to move on the developing the 3D clay keys.     

For this diary entry I recored the development of my work, ideas, thoughts, the memento and 3D maquette of my 3D object, my intention to develop the project further by developing 3D clay versions based around my memento design and 3D maquette.  

   

 

Studio Workshop: 3D maquette

This is the maquette I developed of the key drawing I did at my visit to The Museum of London. I photocopied the drawing I produced of the key to a larger size, cutting around my enlarged drawing, placed the drawing over a pieces of cardboard drew around the drawing leaving a drawn outline version of the key on the cardboard. I cut  around the key shape leaving a cardboard cut out of the keys shape. I then repeated the process leaving me with two cardboard cut outs of the key.

 

Using a glue gun I stuck the two cardboard cut outs together giving the key more of a 3D element.

I based the maquette around the memento design I developed which I will now developed four clay versions of the keys shape based around the structure of the maquette.
