Module 2: Head & Face Designs; Resolved Sample; Study of Artists; Overall Evaluation

The last few weeks have seen a frenetic bout of activity as I made the last push for finishing Module 2 before the end of 2020.   This list below has the links for each of the four pdf reports of my work on:

Having finished Ch12 I can now say I very much enjoyed working through the design exercises, but there were times I thought, where am I going to start? what I am going to do now?  Eventually,  I was more adventurous with drawing in my sketchbook, but also had a lot of fun working with digital images, then cutting out and sticking things together to make 3D models.

I got into a bit of a tizzy  with later parts of Ch12, design development from face lines and had to rely very much on my computer and digital image manipulation to see where I was going with this...

The resolved sample of Ch13 had me worried for a while, as I thought I was not following the brief correctly...

I have enjoyed working through Module two very much.  Fortunately my enormous and varied stash of threads and reference books helped me get started and the internet came to my rescue for further research on many occasions.   I felt very challenged at different times, frustrated during lockdown when it was difficult to obtain materials, disappointed that summer school had to be cancelled, elated when I eventually got the hang of FME with metallic threads, and pleased as punch with the new techniques learned for working with unusual objects.  I am delighted I have completed my first assessment piece in Metallics. 

I am looking forward to a calmer 2021 and working on Module 3.
