Studio Practice project 1


 
Final outcome of the whole case of the aquarium

For my Studio Practice project, I presented a show case (vintage case) with a set of images placed in a single well researched location, that could relate to my Reflective Practice project of fantasy creatures. To produce a well thought location, I decided to take photos of some buildings along the seafront of Hastings. Along the way I came across some shops, museums and the Bluereef aquarium. In the end I thought the Bluereef aquarium would be prefect for a scenery to create my own underwater creatures. Instead of having them placed in a museum, which could take them out of their natural habitat.

After looking and studying the sea life in the aquarium and get some photo references, I drew some new fantasy creatures that can live underwater. To make the creatures stand out more and look more 3D within the background I created a mobile inside the case to hang each creature individually and make the mobile look like an octopus. Altogether the entire scene is based on an underwater tank background at the aquarium, with a sand ocean floor. But to have fantasy creatures instead of creatures that you see in books and on TV.

Fantasy Star Constellations

Image
  This was my last final project that I produced in university before graduating. It is based on imaginative fantasy star constellations from what I see and imagine in the night sky and how it  could be used to bring others into the world of stargazing.   It's a scene of fantasy water creatures rising  to the surface  and flying creatures reaching to the top of the sky. All placed on a MDF board with drilled holes to place some blue and white LED lights from behind to produce the scenery. I also created a small little booklet as a guide to describe the origin and structure of each constellation. The idea out of all of this is to  introduce  children into the world of stargazing and to help develop their imaginations in years to come.

The Journey

In college I had an animation project based on animated videos on You Tube and found some interesting videos of cut out horses. So I thought it would be a good idea to base my video on a theme about horses since horses are quite difficult to draw I thought it would be a real challenge to produce a video about them called the Journey.
