The Persistence of Memory

After researching I decided that the Artist that appeals to me more was Salvador Dali, I felt inspired by the work that he had done and felt this was a good chance for me to explore the different type of art. I like the melting idea from the painting Persistence of Memory because this was unusual strange and artistic, I felt this was a good way of me pushing myself and to learn and do something that I’ve never done before, My idea was to take the melting idea and use it to Salvador Dali as and animated peace that will be done using Maya. As a development idea I took pictures of myself and through Photoshop I was able to deform my face which gave it a similar melting effect. I learned Development ideas for Salvador Dali melting faces, this shows different sides of the Dali face being melted, drawing similar faces but changing them this helped me to learn how to develop my drawing skills and knowledge to me  show understanding.

The Face of War Salvador Dali

 

I did 3 different ideas for my final 3D animation, when I first saw this painting I wanted this as my main design I felt this was an odd painting and would be a good design.

I used the image to the right as and inspiration to my work. I researched more on melting faces and ways how I could add this to my work, through research I did drawings as a way of developing more on my chosen painting. This is a development idea from my sketch book; I was inspired by the paint which Dali done through using this image I developed features to the skull head and the background. Through drawing I learned how to take ideas that I have seen and developed into my own work.

done by Salvador Dali & Antoni Gaudi, showing some of their most well known work.

A way of gaining more of an understanding about the artists I will be focusing on this term I was asked to present to different mood board of research on Salvador Dali & Antoni Gaudi, this was a good inside for me as this allowed me to find out more about what kind of work I will be doing and their successfulness. Through doing this research I also gain a bigger understanding of what surrealism.

 

Dali

Dali was a skilled draftsman, best known for the striking and bizarre images in his surrealist work. His painterly skills are often attributed to the influence of Renaissance masters. His best-known work, The Persistence of Memory, was completed in 1931. Dali’s expansive artistic repertoire includes film, sculpture, and photography, in collaboration with a range of artists.

Gaudi

Architect and designer, Antoni Gaudi is the most internationally prestigious figure in Spanish architecture.
Born in Reus, in Catalonia, he graduated in Barcelona in 1878 and this city became the centre of his activities. One important aspect is his capacity as designer.
This led him to create, in close collaboration with some of the very fine artisans of his time, all those elements making up architectural space - wrought iron, furniture, stained glass, sculptural work, mosaics, ceramics and so on - within an organic concept of decoration and with the integration of these elements into the construction process.

Welcome

Throughout my blog I will be sharing information on the work  I have done an created within my assessments on the following, (BBC Ident ,Salvador Dali & Antonio Gaudi ) exploring different software such as Photoshop, Maya and Flash these software allowed me to developing my ideas and creation skills.
