Elle Sperling: November 2009

Atlas of Colour - the Rothurbury Estate Winery

These images are collages and ink paintings using a layering effect to depict plans and axonometric sketches drawn to scale.

Atlas of Colour - using Water Colour on transparent paper

Atlas of Colour - The colour OLIVE

Atlas of Colour - the Colour Wheel

These series of colour wheels where used throughout the atlas and show my final decision to use OLIVE as my theme colour.

Fluid Thought and movement

In this workshop we were encouraged to not think of objects to literally but to more so investigate how objects sat within the greater context of there surroundings. I definitely felt a progression throughout the workshop as many hours spent experimenting with different techniques and drawing the same object from different perspectives to figure out what methods were most effective. The final images were made of the Museum of Sydney using a combination of media from ink, charcoal, graphite pencil and watercolour

Material Modelling Final Submission

The model is based on two words, solitude and confinement. I used a combination of fluid and rigid shapes to create a balance composition. The main object is in a tear drop shape which has can be interpreted literally of what a tear represents of the actual shape which represents one of confinement. The balsa wood model is place onto of an A2 poster which integrates the fluid teardrop shapes and strict black lines of darkness and confinement.

Material Modelling Week three

This collage is an A2 poster based on my chosen object within the city. I used the escalators in Chifley plaza to show how areas and sections can be divided. The stairs act more than an effective means of transport but a journey to a new level of understanding. This is juxtaposed to the purely functional use which the commuters see them as.

Material Modelling Week two

I created this model in class as my response to the text and one prescribed word. The ideas behind this model where exploring how the smooth lines of the first rectangle/circle can morph into a less specific shape and crumble smaller and lower to the ground.
