Homework task
Objective- to create a city/landscape out of A4 paper; no sticking things down (everything had to be moveable), had to fit on a sheet of A4 paper. Models should reflect on the qualities of the material (paper) we learned from the first lesson.

My final work
‘Far beyond the waves, it is said that a magical castle made of solid ice stands solitarily. The few who have seen it claim that the spirit of a young girl haunts it, silently watching sailors as they pass with a stoic expression.’
Class work task 1
objective- To create a looping animation using 1 component of the model from the homework. We had to choose a word from a list as the theme of the animation.

Class work task 2
Objective- create animations using our model cities; ‘deconstruct’ as the theme.

My work
What went well;
- I was able to think outside of the box and experiment with the possibilities of a piece of paper; It challenged my Imagination and I’m happy with my castle as a result.
- I feel that my pictures came out well, mostly because of the lighting. I can apply some of the things I did with the lighting here to other mediums of work, such as digital art.
- I was able to practice stop motion, which I don’t do often.
What could’ve been better;
- I slightly misunderstood the final task; none of my animations deconstructed the castle, they added things to it. They also didn’t loop.
- Could have experimented more with angles in my photography; getting closer/further would’ve added a sense of scale, and other angles could have been interesting.
What I’ll improve on;
- Ensure that I read our objectives properly and pay more attention so that I know what to do, ask questions if I’m unsure.
- Be more experimental with the composition of shots when I have to take pictures.
