Timeline (Day 3)

Our task today was to make a timeline of all the tasks that we have done in the past week since we started at Ravensbourne. The timeline was to be of our own style and could be made in any artistic form using any material we had. I started by making a list off all the tasks that i have done from bringing in 10 items to burying my time capsule.photographs are below. 


I then used Photoshop to create small circle labels of each task. 

I then cut of each label 

after cutting out each one i used string to connect them all together. 

after that i stuck them all to the page and ripped and cut out images from booklets and photos that i got from the v&a museum.

I added drawing and text to the page.

This is the final outcome

My Time Capsule

Today I made my time capsule from the objects i used in my previous memory task. Some of these objects are important memories to me and some are reflective of me in the present. I done my time capsule by putting all my items in a bag and burying them in my back garden. Whilst doing this i took pictures which are below.

V&A Visit (Day 2)

Today we went on a group trip to the V&A museum in South Kensington, London. We explored the free exhibitions/galleries including the Jewelry, Furniture and History. Below are a series of photographs I took from these galleries.

Jewelry


Furniture




History





After Viewing all the free exhibitions we then explored another exhibition in the V&A called the Memory Palace. This exhibition told a story of the world coming to a near end, then becoming war torn and the resistance that was made. below are some pictures of the 'Memory Palace'  




 To finalize our trip we then walked to the Serpentine gallery in Hyde Park which was closed however there was a very abstract creation outside which i found quite interesting. The are some photographs below.

Memory Items Task (Day 1)

Today I had to bring in 10 items that were reminders of past memories or reflective of my life today. The items I choose are shown below.


Photograph of my girlfriend on a day out
Old photograph of me and my dad
Old Pokemon card
Photograph of a ride I went on years ago
Old Athletics medal
Old Fighting Licence
First mp4
My Ipod headphones
Bracelet from turkey
'K' keyring





I then had to narrow the 10 items to 4 items, these were the items I choose.

Once I choose my 4 items I had to compose them and draw the composition using my own choice of materials. It was key to distort the scale of the items in order to give the piece more meaning.
