At the beginning of term, I took part in a 3D workshop – in which I created a character/ toy out of found materials or objects, charity shop purchases, old cd’s vinyls etc. So I turned up with a bag full of superglue, a kermit the frog toy, a wooden spoon and an array of objects from the kitchen and my bedroom.
We could be totally experimental, I decided to let my character come to life as I progressed throughout the workshop – so instead of planning a design at the beginning, I just got on with building and creating.
***FINAL OUTCOME ***
(He’s a bit weird, but he’s friendly enough)
I actually really enjoyed the workshop & liked being quite hands on with materials. It was a productive day and I am really pleased with my outcome – even if it is a little strange! Toy making would’ve been an interesting approach for me to take – in regards to the entirety of the Locating Practice itself – but I was very keen to explore ideas that focus on these throughout the development of the final unit.
