technology items

technology items

well heres the last few items i made.. 

which arent amazing but im glad i gave it a go,

quite enjoyed getting messy for a change :)

ok this was supposed to be a chip but i ran out of materials.....

this one was supposed to be a credit card, its not amazing but i did enjoy the spray paint :P

and this has got to be the worst, i thought using broken glass would be a good idea for the screen and newspaper for the cover but it really didn't work, just kinda looked like someone stood on it...

so i have to say that this was pretty unsuccesful, but i was proud of the ipod,

it was still an enjoyable project too, nice to have a break from computers

(except for the blog of course)

camera phone brief

camera phone project

ok well heres the pictures from the project of taking pictures to match the story,

which seemed pretty unsuccessful for every one :P  and since there was alot of computer trouble, heres what i could get access to...

i forgot alot of the story, but heres some of the images we got....

Recycling and art

whilst cruising the internet for recycling facts and information, i came across some images

of mass rubbish and recycling, like the one below, and i got to thinking of art,

so i began gathering some images of recycled art.

Although these are very difficult and many of us wont exactly be able to make them

ourselves, i got thinking about how maybe companies could use this method to

produce contemporary products, that way saving money on new packaging and

parts, and producing a new, greener product, which i wouldt think may be

quite appealing, after thinking of this, i decided to try making something myself,

so i chose an ipod, mainly because its a simple shape, and i wanted to make a cover

that was the complete opposite style to their own.
by using string, beads, old music sheets and card, i made a small mock up

of a recycled ipod, which actually didnt look to bad either...

actually after showing to a few people, a number of them thought it was real for a moment,

and all of them said that they would purchase an ipod if it had that cover because it was unique and a good idea too.

anyway im gonna try make more items like this to see how they work, and hopefully get the same responses off people :)

Bradford

on our trip to bradford, we  all had tasks to invent games using photography, then complete

them in groups, our was to take a picture of an item that began with each letter 

in the word B-R-A-D-F-O-R-D, heres what we got, but unfortunately some of my pictures disapeared so theres 

a few missing, but i made replacements except for one....

B- bar

R- red car

A- air

missing one :(

F- fish and chips

O- orange

R- road

D- drink

well there was some of the rubbish images i managed to get for the game...

but the technology museum was pretty cool :)

i really liked the photography area, shame i didnt get to spend much time there

though, or play with the cameras..

i also found some childhood friends :P

katy got on the news...

i got lost in some weird world...

so overall i thought it was pretty good and i think i might try go again some day

leeds art gallery

Leeds art gallery

i wen to leeds gallery for the first time the other day and although found alot of it to be a bit predictive, 

there was some work i really liked, so i thought id put some on here to show, you should definetely go see them

:)

this was a huge battle image from the 'third battle of ypres'

and i really thought it was brilliant, its size really brought it alive

Trevor bell

This was one of my favourite artists there, and his work was so eye catching

and even breath taking, so colourful and 3D too :P

Fiona Rae

here was another artist i really liked, her work was so

free and colourful, and i really liked the style.

Lizzie coombes

and this was one of my favourite, pieces, 3 large walles covered in a collage of  very good quality

pictures, which began as a community project to photograph beauty in leeds,

and gave some really good results ...

so if anyone hasnt been to this gallery yet, i recommend it, it's got some great modern work,

and a great kiddy area with comfy chairs and colouring pencils :P
