study task

Study task for 20th October:

Prepare a set of cut out simple motifs: boats / birds in different shapes of flight / hammer and nail cut outs, hands in different shapes of holding a simple object…

These should be generated from your visual journal research. If you use a lightbox, you can include opacity and colour in your papers. Anything thick, like card or dark paper will create silhouette. Photocopies work very well..

Bring these in the the workshops rotation, week beginning 20th October

Have a look at this for reference: http://www.gifparanoia.org

And watch Valerie Pirson’s film “Pistache”, before you begin.
