Drawing

I did some life drawing yesterday and I really enjoyed it. I want to start drawing again regularly. Ive missed the freedom of it and not caring just feeling free with the marks you make, like when your young you just draw and don't think about it.

This is extremely cute but also slightly scary at the same time, its the eyes..

Ashley Wood

It's funny that I'm putting this on my blog because I would have never known of him unless it was for my friend who has made me appreciate things so much more. I really like the marks and the way Ashley Wood draws.

'sometimes we know, we just aren't honest to ourselves'

My friend said this to me yesterday I don't think it needs an explanation it's straight forward but it's made me think about thoughts and actions and how we deal with situations. Sometimes we know something but because it's not what we want we choose to ignore it or believe something else. We should just be honest to ourselves.

If Im not honest to me,
what makes me honest to you..

We can make ourselves feel a certain way we have the choice to do so.

Don't expect things just to happen if you want it you will get it.

Michael Rosen- Hang On

People in power
experts
say
Hang on;
Don't ask for too much
Times are tough
Don't take more than you earn
Hang on.

They say it this year
They say it last year
They'll say it next year
They say it every year

But every year
people in power
(who say Hang on)
get rich and stay rich.
They don't hang on.
They live for now
a rich now
and make others
live for a poorer now.
Year by year
these Nows
become Lifetimes
Rich Lifetimes and Poor lifetimes

How many more poor lifetimes
will people put up with?
before they cut rich lifetimes
short-
once and for forever

Thanks to the ear
that someone may hear

Thanks for seeing
that someone may see

Thanks for feeling
that someone may feel

Thanks for touch
that someone may be touched

Thanks to flowering of white moon
and spreading shawl of black night
holding villages and cities together

Quote from my friends story check it, it's BIGGEL http://supercolor-ibz.blogspot.com/

'What I do, and what I say, is only a result what I believe now...and nothing more'

This reminds me of what my lovely friend has been doing in his work. But his is more interesting looking at the structure of the face through submerging areas of it in the water.

I LIKE COLOURS

Storyboards

I have started to do my story boards for the animation and am going to try and take some photos or my ideas so far. I think Im going to use a combination of text and images.

ANIMATION OF CUT OUTS

T-SHIRTS T-SHIRTS

Erykah Badu- The Grind

This is what I'm doing my animation to. Ignore what comes after the track has played.

Stop Frame

Stop frame animation. This is the technique I'm going to take for my final piece.

Watery eyes

This reminds me of when your about to cry. When your eyes fill with water and your vision becomes blurred, lights sparkle.

EMOTIONS EXPOSED

Talking to friends about their emotions and feelings how they deal with them, don't deal or just don't feel! I have picked out the following points from what people have said... they don't necessarily makes sense out of context from the question and what else they said but I want to gather small samples to work with as a whole and remake sense of.

"I can't deal with feelings"

"mostly I cry"

"I think they should do what they want"

"I cry once a week but it's never for me. It's never for myself"

"life is good"

"I generally cut off the world"

"just can't, don't know how to anymore"

"if your happy smile"

"deep down you feel emotions"

"I write it down and throw it away"

"listen to music"

"I just don't get sad"

"it's as easy as believing you can, which is extremely hard"

"I cry when I shouldn't cry and don't cry when I should"

so much inside......there is so much to how we are what we feel and what we do

More water..

WATER

Martin Waugh's liquid sculptures. I like the ripple in the water from the impact of the water dropping. I think this images are beautiful.

TEARS

Lake District. What does crying do?

WHY?

Talking and discussing makes you realise. You find out new things, understand more. Ask WHY be curious.

R.I.P

What does it take to make us appreciate life? What extent do things have to happen to make us realize life is precious?

I DONT WANT TO HOLD BACK ANYMORE OR DOUBT MYSELF. I WANT TO BE CONFIDENT AND TAKE MY OPPORTUNITIES, NOT GET CAUGHT UP. ITS EASIER TO GIVE UP THAN TRY. BUT UNTIL YOU TRY YOU WONT KNOW THE OUTCOME.

Its to easy to cry

Im a very emotional person I let things get to me, I cry thinking it will make it better, but crying doesn't deal with the problem it just makes you feel worse and feel sorry for yourself. However im not saying it's wrong to cry sometimes it does act as a chance to release. The only real way to deal with your emotions is to confront them and understand.

Today it starts with no rules on how it will continue...it will just happen as it happens as time changes.
