Life drawing - Lesson 9

Here are my life drawing pieces from last week's life drawing class. 

In this exercise we were given 20 minutes to create our pieces. In this piece I used different shades of green and yellow pastels to show tone. I also used red pastel to express the colour of the model's bowtie and wig. I used a water brush to blend the pastels.


In this exercise we drew six quick sketches of the model and were given between 1 and 4 minutes to complete each of them. I used red, green and yellow pastel in this exercise to show the shaping, highlights and low lights on the model as well as green pastel to show the hoop. 


This is my final piece from the session. We were given around 40 minutes to complete a study of the model to show how the use of light helps with defining the body. I used a variety of different coloured pastels for this piece. I think that this piece is successful as it is in proportion and it is easy to understand where the light hits the model's body.

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind (2004) - Non-linear storytelling

Figure 1. Movie poster (2004) Non-linear methods: Chronicle (Linear storytelling)  - The film starts off  with a non-linear storytelling method. This is as the audience are unaware as to where they are, who the characters are and what they are doing. The scenes also change suddenly and time shifts backwards and forwards. The story then becomes linear once Joel starts to get his memories of Clementine removed. This is as he is in a dream state trying to stop his memories of her from leaving him.  Figure 2. Joel and Clementine meeting Retrograde (Events in reverse order)  - This is shown throughout the movie without the audience realising until they are nearing the end of the film. At the start of the film the audience understand that Joel and Clementine have only just met and that Joel and Clementine's feelings towards each other grow, but towards the end of the film it is made clear that not only did Clementine and Joel know each other previously, they were also

Film review: A Knight's Tale (2001) - A Hero's journey

During today's lecture we looked into depth on Joseph Campbell's monomyth theory on the 17 stages of 'A Hero's Journey' and how the stages are very evident in films such as Star Wars: A New Hope (1977) and The Matrix (1999). The theory has 3 acts which come together to form the 17 different stages in A Hero's Journey.  Below is a diagram to explain Campbell's theory: Figure 1. Joseph Campell - 17 Stage Monomyth - A Hero's Journey (1949) The film that I am using to help prove this theory is A Knight's Tale (2001). Figure 2. Original Movie Poster (2001) Stage 1 - The call to adventure: The Knight that William (Heath Ledger), the knight's servant, works for, dies, meaning that William, along with all of the Knight's over servants, are left without a job. As the servants worry what to do next and panic as they haven't eaten in three days, one of the King's servants come over on a horse and explains that the Knig
