Wow okay so I know I say a variation of this almost every week, but I learned so much! Like how to post a YouTube video on my blog and how to use Illustrator. It is all so new and foreign, but incredibly fun. Inspiration came in all sorts of ways for me this week. I watched so many animated films by Pixar Animation Studios: Finding Nemo, Cars, and Wall-e. The quality in these films and the attention to detail is superb. My sketch this week was mostly inspired by Finding Nemo, so there is a fish bowl filled with a bold little fish and crazed looking child peering in. I need to work on portraits, that is a definite goal of mine... There is a huge window of improvement for me when it comes to that.
The second image above is a fractal that I found on a physics web site (http://www.sprott.physics.wisc.edu/FRACTALS/collect/2005/). The intricacy and detail embedded in this image is captivating. Flowing and mixing into this one image makes for a great piece. Fractals are the artistic sides of math and science and I really appreciate their rich bond.
After working on my haptic models, I became really interested in finding other forms of sculptures and models made from recycled materials. A great example of this type of work is that of Aurora Robson, and her recycled sculptures. One of her pieces is shown above, and it is just so detailed and beautiful, I enjoyed checking out her other pieces. The combination of light, and materials make her pieces attention grabbing and unique.
