Stop Motion Animation

Stop motion animation is not as easy as it looks, It's still kinda fun though and I'm getting close to finishing my project and I hope everybody likes it.

4D Studio Project 3: Animation

I will be using Stikfas to create a romantic scene, the male with be a pirate singing ‘You Are My Sunshine’ (using Magpie Killjoy’s version) to the female, a fairy, who is being visibly wooed, while a skeleton plays a lute in the background. Below you will find some links to Youtube videos shwoing other people using Stikfas aniamation

Intermediate Sculpture: My Project Proposal

Andrew Kolb

Proposal for Intermediate Sculpture

Steam Punk Accessories for 11.5” and 14” dolls

Steam Punk, literature, art and costuming is very popular now and I personally enjoy participating in it and I agree with the sentiments of the movement, making things by hand or with simple machines. Basically Steam Punk is an alternate vision of the Victorian era, where Steam power is the predominate form of energy. I feel like the full size costuming market for Steam Punk accessories is saturated right now but I have not seen anyone making these things for dolls.

I will be working alone on this as that is how I best work.

My goals are to create a selection of objects that I can make multiple casts from.

I will cast in Polyester Resin, Epoxy and possibly pewter.

I will use Silicon and Plaster of Paris to make my molds.

I will sculpt the object from plumber’s epoxy, Fimo, Scuply, Styrofoam or other material as needed.

My secondary goal is to sell one or more of the objects I create before the class ends.

To reach this goal I will use Etsy and EBay to sell my products

I will also consider using something like Google Ad Words to draw attention to my products.

I believe I will be able to accomplish both goals within the allotted time frame.

There are no major hazards other than the need to be careful with the Resin and epoxies; and there will be nothing inappropriate for general viewing.

4D Studio: Project 2 Finished, Thoughts Unrealated

Despite it's name this is actually project 2

4D Studio: What is 4D?

I had some trouble figuring out what 4d is compared to what we are doing in this class. It seems that some people use the term 4D to describe their work as superior. I believe that for our purposes the fourth dimension can be anything above 3D such as Time, Movement, or Sound. This can include kinetic sculpture, animation and who know what else, it’s art and it’s subjective to the creator and the viewer

Yay!

I'm sorta sad it's over but I do like the grade I got... an A

maybe I'll get to take the advanced sculpture some day!

Final Project Finally Finished

The young ball boy is done, he is articulated and equipped with a slingshot and marbles so he can get into all kinds of mischief. For now he will have a happy home in my garage ith all my other assorted sports equipment. Since the other two large pieces I put out for the public to enjo have fone missing I am a bit reluctant to do the same with the ball boy.

It took hard work and critical thinking skills to finish this project and I am excited about how it turned out.
