Group project, following a brief: a structure that can hold an egg and allow it to travel freely from A to B. Our aim for this group project was to create a chicken run structure that worked efficiently but also looked visually interesting. We started off by looking at the materials that were available and creating a small plan of how those materials will work together, and, different design ideas. From there we went out and chose and area where we thought would best suit the structure. We placed it away from everyone else and built it in and around the tree in an isolated and hidden part of the forest. The effect that was created was interesting as the materials contrasted the green of the trees making it appear alien, giving it an interesting aesthetic.  Creating the chicken runs was a really fun and interesting experiment. The task allowed everyone to work as a team, which encouraged group discussion and collaboration as we always made sure ...

Image 1 - I was drawn to this section as I liked the similar hue of colour between the pink boot that I produced next to the yellow one; the colours combined together make for an interesting colour pallet.

Furthermore, the grey tone of colour juxtaposes the warm pastel hues which creates a push and pull affect between the different subjects.   Image 2 - The variety of marks used here contrast each other and create an interesting texture. For the green hand, it appears that someone experimented with the way the oil pastel was used such as on its side which creates a flatter fainter texture, they also used the medium conventionally creating thinner marks, in turn this adds variety to the drawing. As these were short quick sketches there isn't a lot of detail, but if longer time was given to improve ...
