Applied Arts - Day 1 and 2

I have paired the firs two days of applied arts together because on the first day other than theory we mainly went through health and safety. Our first task for the theory was to research one Artist from a list and put it in our sketch book.

On the second day we began to make our cube blocks, we did this by creating different tester pieces from the techniques we had been taught in the health and safety walk through on the first day. My favourite machine in the workshop would probably be the fly press, I really liked making indentations in the metal and creating interesting patterns.




^ This is my favourite side on the block, the tester I created out of steel came out the best out of them all I think. I twisted some wire into some random patterns and placed it on to the metal then used the fly press to press the pattern on to the steel. Then I burnt the metal to create interesting colours on it, it reminded me of reptiles skin.
