Day 5

I played around with the physical properties of this, and look what I made, haha! I just stuck a layer of tracing paper behinds it, and I popped some tea lights inside of it to represent a prototype.

I do eventually plan on making it into an actual lamp/candle cover cut out of sheet metal..but before that, I must find out how one goes about that. I have to ask Mr. T (the tech dude!) what to do about my final project and where I could possibly get it done, so more on that later.

From this stemmed another idea. An installation. I was having a conversation with Luke, and we made the idea of taking every word involved on the lamp/candle cover and replicate it larger. This is to cover all the ceiling lights leading down towards the STAC room! Meh, I'm doing a terribly shitty job of explaining this. It all makes sense in my mind, I swear!

Anywho, I figured out what I'm doing for my side salad. I'm going to do some charcoal work in order to tackle my problem with anatomy. I decided upon charcoal since I'm not afraid to work with it. It covers a large surface area, which is convenient for me because if I happen to mess up, I can just rub it out. I just fooled around with the charcoal and tried to get used to the feel of it since I've never drawn with it before. It's cool.
