The common cold was taking its toll. I drew And drew Andrew. Designs today were kinda celtic.

When folded together

 

 I plan to actually start construction of my 3rd attempt of a human head this time it shall be made up of many parts.

We had a talk on symbols and a ham sandwich and how it wasn't a ham sandwich but it was a photo of a ham sandwich after the talk i bought a sandwich it was hard to eat. That is very important information and you shall be expected to hold on to that till you die. Did a lot of research in the library today on astrology and on symbolism.  Got an amazing book called "Art and symbolism of the occult images of power and wisdom" by James Wasserman.



I also returned the following books "sacred geometry" "the golden age of irish art" Lucifer's legacy" "art forms in nature" "Sun and moon signs" and "complete oragami"

   

 Lucifer's Legacy was rather boring to me and not exactly what i was looking for let it be known that i only have read 2 chapters of it before giving up on it might still be a good book that is if you want to learn about asymmetry.

 

24th to the 27th September

Moonday

2 talks today. One on drawing in different mediums and just throwing out our current bias on how to draw and what a drawing is. The other was on throwing out our bias on art itself. There was a hilarious creepy short known as "the door" Cant find a link to it at the moment.

Made a lot of makets today. Triangular prisms that were  connected and when folded together became things. It was fun.

Made a 3D representation of a 2D representation of a 3D cube.









Tiersday

Managed to make an illusion of an eye out of 6 squares taped together.

Had a tutorial with Paul Gardiner. Discussed the idea that maybe i should make a human face out of shape's. I accepted the challenge although i was very tired so progress was slow

Managed to make two eyes and eyebrows.

Mercuryday

I cut my finger Breaking a mirror for Maria. Also i didnt mean to break it. I was taking it out of its holder.

Made a stupid shape that failed.










Becca came to my flat to show me she actually did work. Hence this puppet clown.












Thorsday

Alot of work today.

Failed to make a face out of triangles .

Reverse a Hexagram/hexagon/asterix  and turned it inside out.

Made some weird shapes.

was working with the idea of empty space's in geometric shapes.

Jupiter's day 20th september 2012

Today was a busy day



Stared off exploring geometry of the star of david.
Hexagram's, hexagons and also 2 extra lines that go on either side of the hexagram lines. I coloured in the space's differently there are so many different combinations.

Moved onto trying to make a perfect sphere out of paper. Ridiculously ambitious. Although i failed it was interesting and fun to try. Looked it up online afterwards theres a couple of cool ways to make spheres  

Not mine

 

Using Hexagons i made shapes with the following

 

3 hexagons and 3 triangle empty spaces

 

8 hexagons and 6 square empty spaces

 

20 hexagons and 12 pentagon empty spaces.

 

 

 

When trying to make a hexagon ball out of hexagons i accidentally made a panda dog whiney the pooh type mask

 

 

 

I made a ring out of 6 hexagons. When thrown diagonally it starts to glide along

 

 

Mercury-day 19th september 2012]

 

Today I played with myself. As in i printed tons of me's from different angles and made collages of the faces into a triple headed me. Unintentionally like the celtic triple headed stone.


I played with prespectives. In a way that shows choice or multiple timelines . The idea has come to me that the multi headed me represents the different paths i could take at that moment. Good/ Evil/ Neutral.

I atempted oragami from the book the "Complete Origami" by David Mitchell. I was able to make "The kabuto" (as shown) and the "cormorant on a rock"

I wasn't able to make the "tsuru" as step's 8 to 12 confused me.

Mars-day 18th september 2012

Fractal Imagery of intersections of a square

Geometry triangles Hexagons

Intersecting lines of half way.

Inttersecting line of a square within itself

Moons-day 17th september 2012

Some of the anicient celtic sculptures look like machines

A celtic sculpture of 2 intertwining snakes like D.N.A. coiling together. Similar to the indian snakes that intersect at the chakra points. Also similar to the staff of Hermes.

 

I want to make the unexpected. The unusual and the irregular. Some thing that is not. What would be if the roles or rules were different?




Reading "The golden age of Irish Art" well i say reading looking at the pictures is a bit more accurate. Saw this on the street after. Recognised it from the book.

In the book "Art forms in nature" by Ernst Haeckel.There is repeating 6 sided, 5 sided and 8 sided shaped animals and plants throughout. Two of my roomates freaked out when i was going through the book as they thought it was my sketch book. If only.







Breaking up faces into geometry and the body.

Played with what if the lines of the mouth, eyes , nose continued.
