LEGEND Review
Sorry to jump ahead and upload my film review for Legend, I thought it would be best to upload one for viewing soon so my writing can be assessed by fellow peers rather then waiting for me to re-write and post the one of The Cabinet of Dr Caligari and Metropolis if you see what I mean? (My PC is having software problems... Eurgh I better get it sorted out fairly soonish because losing work is a nightmare!)

Week three of Life Drawing (Unit 2- I missed week two's lesson due to complications)

A nice flowing motion but a bit of a trial run, so to speak.

Negative space exercise one, I think I did pretty well at this!
I've done a fair amount of it on a my last course but
for about a year's gap, I've not done too badly :)

Negative space exercise two... I think I was on a roll, I
finished about 5-10 mins early as I did as much as I could
And I think the physical logic is there, Chris liked it ^ ^

Negative+ form exercise. Chris was pleased with how
coherent and well contrasted, this piece was, I'm pretty
pleased with it too! 

Week one of Life Drawing (Unit 2)

I was so tired when I was doing this... also charcoal is an old foe >_>

Nice posture, I'm improving on that front.

I really like these! Smaller so I got them done and in doing so I had time to  focus
 on the nature of poses, grasping that emphasis of complex posture.

THE TIME MACHINE by H.G Wells
Published in 1895



This great novel is about a scientist (Of whom H.G Wells created apparently as a version of himself) who builds a time machine and visits the future. That is the basis of the discovery element to the novel (I've read this before, when I was about 12 but it is seeming foreign to me right now... More research will hopefully jog my memory), he comes across a species of short, humanoid creatures called Eloi, these are the peaceful creatures of whom seem to greet soon after arrival. (Prior to this encounter, there is a statue of what appears to ressemble a winged-Spinx like creature, positioned on a pedestal to give a visual element of flying, I think that'll give me a nice set of ideas, also it's good to realise I'm not unfamiliar with Egyptian history and it's architecture.. YAY!)

-I'll mention a few reasons why this novel appeals to me and why I feel rather pleased for choosing this certain story from the 'Papery box of impending doom' O_O" (I say 'impending doom' because I'm fully aware that others were rather paranoid about whether what they'll get would be within there interest range.... Most  were glad of there choices, which is good ^ ^ Happy classmates!)-

Things that appeal to me so far;
  1. The idea behind the main character (Simply know as The Time Traveller) He's an inventor and therefore a kind of conceptualist.
  2. The actual description of the time travelling process itself is interesting because it contains fast-pased changes to the landscape including terraforming, biome changes and vivid colour changes.
  3. Architecture is utilised to a nice extent, the brief description leaves a lot of room for my imagination to go loopy ^ ^
  4. Back to the inventive nature of the story, I enjoy the idea of creating my version of the time machine itself, it wouldn't be in flux within the images because it isn't the landscape but it will be showing none-of-the-less.
