High heel shoe for EXgf

an artist called Sebastian Errazuriz created 12 pairs of high heel shoes for his 12 EX girl friends. the different stories relating to the different design are funny. let me think of my classmate – Wataru, whose project is portrait chair. I think the narrative is fun and high heel shoes is always attactiing women’s eye balls.

Jonathan lecture about action research

Action research.:4 main stream

Cyclical; keep thinking. a foundation way of finding a way; but no specific direction

Collaborative; with people. with materials

Qualitaive. not quantitative!

Not numbers.emphasis words. not numbers

reflective.it couod be argued. not what u done. is who u were and when u doing that?!

try to encapsulate change. when. why. how…….and that slowd or speed up？

Research Paper

I would like to write something related to my Unit 1 project. So, problems or questions come out would be: materials, presentation form etc. So I am asking ” How the animal sculptor choose a material”

here’s some of the interesting animal sculpture:

Artist recommended by Tas

Nice talking with Tas again these days during ceramic practice~ he recommended me to go search for two artists, who doing some sculpture with nice structure~

reason why he recommend me is the sculpture method, making a support inside, and covering with fabric or some other soft material. is type of sculpturing method.

one is French, Xavier Veilhan

the other one is from Human Factor show in Hayward Gallery, will go to have a look and found out!

Experiment for my Survivors’ structure

<Survivors> already named after the July interim show in Camberwell. So what materials I used so far?????!?!?!?!?!

1) first Rhino in the Art Cube Competition: Wood with paints

2) Eagle and Tiger and Ram by modelling wood

3) Elephant by branches and rope

4) Tiger by metal casting (aluminium), failed…according to Becky’s comment, my mode is too big, structure too complicated….

5) these two days I made an experiment by clay~ Tas said it’s easy to crack….but well….let’s try~

Upcycling Art

Found two up cycling art series online, one is by tires and one is by watches. Those are attractive~ I did some upcycling shuttlecock as well. or some modelling frames. In a way…I also like to do….collecting unwanted items, transform it, make it reborn~
