To further develop my artistic practice outside of the projects I joined a lab that has just been created in the games department. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the first meeting I attended we were tasked with creating a one slide pitch of what we would like to focus on in the lab. I decided to focus on character design as I have always pursued it and it will be helpful to recieve feedback and criticism from the other lab members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lab is also doing a partnership with the Whispers Project. An art exhibit to celebrate the opening of the new Capitol House campus. Our projects can be loosely inspired by this. In the meeting I played around with the idea of creating a character based on locations along the walk and inserting the character into photographs digitally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Development<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After doing further research into the Whispers project, my project idea began to evolve and change. Instead of creating new characters for the artworks I will now find real life WSA students and do photoshoots along the path with them and conduct interviews with each of them, about their courses, how they are doing in the uni etc. plus their thoughts towards the new capitol house building. The mixed media element is still there as after i have taken the photographs I will draw the students in my style. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the presentation I put together to show off at the next lab meeting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The feedback I received was very positive and I was given some advice to begin researching interviews and how to conduct them. One of the other lab members also offered to source some travel microphones for me so I can transcribe the interviews at a later date. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I walked along the route with one of my interviewees and took some photographs. She was not comfortable for the reference photographs to be shared but I now have enough to start drawing her in the environments. The walk had some very interesting architecture and history along the way that was fascinating to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
