Current Position –

• What did I do this week and why did I do it? (Screenshots/Videos/Photos)-                This week I finished off the homework tasks, specifically the mind map as well as this I began my research for the initial ideas. I did this because I had not fully completed the homework tasks but I also needed to begin the new tasks or I would have been behind.   

  

  

This is a mood board I collected on pintrest for research into forgotten, this one specifically looks at forgotten creatures and monsters, for this I chose images of creatures which look like they are in dark or remote place or ones which look as if they are very ancient and may not be remembered.

This is a mood board I collected on Pintrest for research into forgotten. This one focuses on items which look as if they have been forgotten or left behind, I chose these images by looking for items which look as if they have been abandoned or have started to decay.

This is a mood board I collected on Pintrest for research into forgotten. This mood board looks at places or buildings which look like they have been forgotten or derelict , I chose the images in this board by looking for pictures of very remote or run down places and buildings.

Week Number & Date: week 4 18/03/19

List of Tasks planned for this week: This week we started out ideas generation for out final pieces which for my project consisted of 6 initial sketches and complete my resub tasks.  

Current Position –

• What did I do this week and why did I do it? (Screenshots/Videos/Photos)- This week I competed 2 initial sketches and completed most of my resub work, the reason I chose to do this is because I wanted to get the resub work done as soon as possible so that I would be able to work on my initial sketches for the next two weeks and get them completed to an acceptable standard as I can take quite a long time re drawing things.      

this the first pair of my initial sketches which I have used to experiment with different textures and limb shapes.

• What did I find difficult or easy? I found most of the tasks this week fairly easy but some of the resub tasks I found challenging as I was unsure of the tasks.    
• What tasks didn’t I complete from this week?- This week I completed most of the tasks however I still do have some resub work to do. 

 

Planning for next week –

• How do I plan to catch up?- I do not need to catch up on anything as even though I did not complete all of the resub work I have decided to complete this work at a later date as I want to spend as much time as I can on my initial sketches.  
• Do I need to change anything about my work or planning?- My planning and work for this week has been mostly fine however I did slow down on my written work during the end of the week which was a bit of an issue and something I need to work on. 

Week Number & Date: Week 5 25/03/19

List of Tasks planned for this week: This week I want to get as many initial sketches done as I can.  

Current Position –

• What did I do this week and why did I do it? (Screenshots/Videos/Photos)- This week I produced 3 more Initial sketches as well as touching up the two I did last week, the reason I did this is because I wanted all of my initial ideas to look good and the 2 older ones didn’t stack up well against the new ones I spent more time on these ones and had more practice.    

These two initial sketches I spent much more time on and I used them to experiment with more unique body parts and ideas as well as new textures and shading.

• What did I find difficult or easy?- I found this hard to do in this time frame as I pent way too much time on the 3 new initial sketches which meant that I got no written work done at all. 
• What tasks didn’t I complete from this week?- This week I completed all of the tasks I set out to do but I could have done them better.   

 

Planning for next week –

• How do I plan to catch up?- I do not need to catch on current work this week. 
• Do I need to change anything about my work or planning?- my planning was fine this week but my work needs to improve as I am not happy with how some of my drawings look and the lack of written work I am doing.

These final 2 initial sketches are more detailed than the previous ones and allowed me to practice human like proportions and perspective.

• What did I find difficult or easy?- I found it very hard to complete this work in the small time from i had as I was unable to come in the Monday and we broke up for the holidays on Wednesday so i only had that day to complete the work which is only 2 and half hours.
