Evolution of a being

You are emerging from the primordial soup.
You are being driven by primary needs.
Your physical form reflects these basic requirements.
You are at the earliest evolutionary stage.

I began to isolate my primary needs in order to develop a physical form for my being - how it moves, how it eats, how it thinks etc.
My being - keeps a very low profile in order to evade gangs on the streets.
- eats almost any fast food it can get hold of.
- doesn't like being alone - it's a pack being.
- gets about on public transport.
- relies heavily upon its eyesight.

Author_Primer

Got some new felt tips for cheap, decided to use 'em. Start of a new project called 'Author', which is another kind of autobiographical ting. For this stage we had to fill a sketchbook with made/gathered imagery that describes our personal world, so the environments we inhabit, things we use, relationships we have etc. I looked at it more from the point of a local lad who has lived in Southwark all his life and knows it better than others on the course. My territory, my rules, the places I go and the places I avoid. I took my fresh felt tips, got on my bike and cruised round Herne Hill, Dulwich, Peckham, Camberwell and Brixton drawing whatever had a bit of meaning to me.

Object2_Chair

Following on from our initial research into the our chair we had to illustrated 20 different and alternative uses for the chair. I made a small cardboard model of a rocking-chair and used that to discover new uses. It helped to have a physical object to move around and look at from different perspectives. I tried to keep the shape and structure of the chair as similar to reality as possible - separating the chair into components or adding to it's structure seemed almost like cheating to me. I bound my images into an A5 book (spent about 20 quid on the photocopier, clown!).







































We also had to show 10 different connotations for our chair. At the end of the 'Object1' project I had began messing about making models of rocking chairs and also people to sit in them, and I decided to continue this for the connotation images. The models were quite effective because many of the connotations I came up with were simple stereotypical characters.
