The making of the wings for the Fairies!!








Fairy Tales with a twist!


We have taken the old fairy tale of Sleeping Beauty and adapted it. Not only is it modern but it has a different ending.


Sleeping beauty By Ines Taradellas, Marianne Wilson and Mary Gibbons.


Sleeping Beauty is asleep in the forest, Prince charming ( or is he?) is slowly making his way towards the beauty who is sleeping contently amongst the woods. Her gaurdian fairies are dancing around her as she sleeps.


***Flash Back***

She is at a party, dancing contently with the prince, but then the prince ignores her and starts dancing with the wicked witch. She thinks to herself "what a loser! Why am I wasting my time? I'm better off without, I'm far too good for him" She walks out the party in a bad mood, she is very disappointed by the prince. On her way out she pricks her finger on something sharp (not quite sure yet, something sharp and modern).

The wicked witch cackles with delight as she has put a curse on Sleeping Beauty who will fall into a slumber that only love can awake.

***Back to the forrest where she sleeps***

The prince kisses her, but she pushes him away remebering what an idiot he had been the night before. "thanks but eh, no thanks!!" She rejects him. She jumps onto her bike and cycles off into the forrest. The Prince is left alone, looking sad and disappointed.

***The End***

Hein Jan Urban Architecture



Adding colour to the perspective drawing and also showing light. Architecture is static it is the light and colour that moves around it.



For the modern day fossils assignment I began to think about the different symbols that there are for musical notes and also for music. There are many. I then began to think of how this could be a story or how I could make this educational for children. So I have been researching the different ways in which we SEE music. The first example is how an artist might see music, lively, abstract shapes. The second is the very recognisable treble clef which is how musicians see music and the third is a sound wave which is how a sound technician would see music. I made the models out of card as they would posibly be made out of wood. There are both positive and negative images.

The first building i photographed. I liked it because it is black and white striped and I thought I could get some interesting perspectives from it.




The second building I photographed had a mirrored column that I found interesting.

Marc Boumeester



Five Images that Represent me.
For my film I'm going to focus on the idea of time, perceptions of time and how dreams alter reality. My film will be inspired by the Avant Garde movement and also the short film "The Perfect Human". I think i will concentrate on the concept of an imperfect human. My 90 second film will be visual based rather than having a narrative it will be more like a sequence of visuals.













































Memento - Erasmus Students Exhibition in Enschede, The Netherlands






























For my Memento project I am making spinning plates that when turned create an optical illusion.










The pattern on the plate is a geometric shape that i photographed at the science museum in Glasgow. At the Memento exhibition at the Bookhuis in the centre of Enschede there will be 9 of them mounted on the wall for people to interact with.










The realation that the spinning plates have to the notion of memories is that when gazing into the moving pattern the viewer can reflect on whatever thoughts come to mind when they are looking. The moving pattern can be quite thought provoking as it lures you into a spiralling trance. I look forward to seeing 9 of them moving together.
