My other sketches / work-in-progress in the moleskine:















One of the stairs from week 2 lecture (yes the sketch on the top left is a sketch section -- I accidentally overshot)















designing stairs...















and the final result used for my (developed) model.

36 textures

18 sketches

Since required, I should post these up on the blog.

sketch-up again

My model at its present state. Enjoy.



And 3 images (more improved state than the video):






























textures used: spiky, solid, spongy, slippery, non-uniform, translucent.
I've changed and simplify the stairs below the ground too; the previous one was too heavy and it read 'jail' not 'hope'.

about the artists

Sidney Nolan:
Myself (1988)
122.0 x 92.0 cm

The material used in the painting is oil and spray enamel on composition board. Nolan most probably have completed the painting of the person first using oil paint, then sprayed the outline of his famous black being (Ned Kelly), and smudged it. He used his paints liberally, applying broad strokes in a somewhat spontaneous but deft movement, and, surprisingly quickly, he's done. He worked on a flat surface (a table), not using an easel, probably because the paints that he applied appeared to be very wet.



















Ricky Swallow:
The Exact Dimensions of Staying Behind (2005)
70 x 110 x 105 cm

Swallow' sculpture is made of English limewood, and carved meticulously and painstakingly detailed. He favoured the traditional / classical way of carving, which is by hand, using a hammer and chisel. What's interesting is that Swallow said in an interview that he hasn't been using sanding. No paint or other adornment is added, so the detailed carvings stand out on its own. However the wood is laminated for further protection. I'd want to be careful and use a lift to bring his masterpieces, since it is life size and delicate, but *sigh* stairs it is.

sketch up model with stairs

The second sketch up model, with stairs.





















(oops! No ground plane......!)

Stairs below the ground:











A quick photo of the original sketch (I shall scan it for a better, lighter, straighter look later on):














The words are: transformation (Nolan) above the ground, hope (Swallow) below the ground.
