V&A gallery visit

What I thought about the V&A was that the first task was exhausting, we had to drawl pads of sculptures in the first room within an hour. I found it easy at first. But it was hard to continue but then again it was hard not to continue. Then we went to the fresh prints room and we had a look at some photos taken by brilliant photographers, which the photos related to our theme Transform. We had to draw one photo from the folder that we was given with high quality, I found it a little hard because I'm used to doing real life drawings, I'm not the best at it but I do a pretty good job at times. In the end drew some oriental man with a flower in his mouth and it was in black and white. I didn't get time to finish it as much because it took me and Kwok a while to pick a photo that we was both comfortable with drawing. After Adam Butcher had to go back to school for a meeting we had another task which was to drawing the sculptures in there dimension (different views), positive and negative and focusing in.

TRANSFORM

 The group activity was really tricky, confusing and challenging because it was the first day back and we had to work as a team to create a sculpture made out of random materials. We all had ideas on where and what we should do with the materials, which we had to stop and listen and create. We ended up creating an alien who was either dying or just floating in space,  the outcome looked like we did it in the dark, it wasn't the best but it was something though. The part I liked about the sculpture was how we used the cardboard box as the torso of the alien body. It was fun to make because we as a group kept on asking how many limbs is this alien going to have and the response was the same "it's an alien we can do as much as we want" and so we took advantage of it by giving the alien three legs and two arms.  We had three question to ask the teachers about this group activity to help us with it, I found it quite pointless because to what we asked was useless to me because we asked two questions what was the ideal outcome and if we all could make an individual piece. Over all it's was a good experience working for the driest time as a group.
