Animals project evaluation

When I looked at peter Clark I found his work intriguing and it drew me in but after attempts at mimicking his work I discovered my hatred for this media as it made me frustrated me having to find pieces of newspaper or similar material to fit in to my design, and I hopefully will never have to work with this media again. I think it went well; I would’ve liked it to turn out better than it did and I would’ve liked to enjoy that part of the project if I did perhaps it would’ve been better.

The three animals I chose were a kitten, an owl and a sheep, I chose the kitten because like the kitten I can have sudden random bursts of energy and it’s usually when you least expect it, I chose the owl because I’m not a morning person I tend to be more alive at night and it is when I feel most comfortable. I chose the sheep because they tend to travel in herds and I don’t like being stuck on my own somewhere not having anyone to talk to. I would say I am most like the sheep I always try to have someone with me it could be like a survival instinct to have someone else with you in case anything went wrong so that they were there to help you out. Out of the three I chose the owl as I believed that I could draw it more accurately than the others, I then drew this animal in different styles e.g. silhouette, watercolour animated.

My final piece will be a 3d model as I believe it would be a better representation of an owl and be more effective to a viewer than it would be in 2d. I have created a basic card cut-out of my final piece to help me visualise what I’m going to do, I’m going to pile the cardboard for the eyes to make it more 3d and use the length of the cardboard to support the sides of the sculpture.

I’m unsure if I will improve my model making skills I believe that planning is key for something like this so if I keep to my plan I should get the results I expected on this project I think I handled my time management well although I could’ve spent more time on my pieces but I think it’s because I didn’t really enjoy this project that much. Although I discovered on this project I don’t really like collage I think overall it went pretty well.
