Introduction to Throwing

 

Today Elaine showed us how to throw pots. This is a sequence of how she showed us.

 

 

 

 

 

We then had a chance to throw a bowl for our-self's. My first one was terrible but at least my second one was a bowl - Photos of the finished bowl will be up next week.

Graphics

Finished graphics project.

These are my finished pieces from my 2 weeks elective in graphics.

I didn't get them to the best of quality and to my ability for personal reasons but i don't think i did very bad.

 

 

 

 

As my word was support i decided to take out a 'P' because you can still read the words underneath and see its support. i also balanced it on smaller letter of the rest of the word in different type faces to show the different types of support available to people. my problem with this piece is it was all cut outs and i didn't know how to work any computer soft wear to get the same affect. 

This is my finished illustration piece. I photographed the pillers out side the redemtrist church in limerick. I then photoshopped out the middle column. my idea behind this illustration was to show that columns are the first thing many people thought of when I threw the word support at them and it also shows a hidden meaning of hidden support.

"Words Can Fly A Thosand Miles"

Today we started typography and we had to look at different references of typography examples to get a feel for it.
With using images this was harder, but I think this piece of type is very effective.
