Sand Animation

Well this indeed is an interesting year, I now have also teaching hours at Atlantic College teaching animation, this has vered me both professionally and personally to experiment with the merits of sand animation I love this type of animation for both its links to the area, the coloration and density you can achieve, the method and freeness.
One of the animations I will be using as an example mixes both music and animation and am hoping that this will be perfect for students looking into this technique.


Marissa Delbressine Seasons was also nominated for the 2007 Aniboom competition this animator's work can be seen at "http://mindmapped.nl"

Channel 4 - Lifeclass





Ok so the summer holidays are here.....
After the difficulties of finding life classes and the bureaucratic elements of arranging a life class sometimes the good ol'television surprises me. Channel 4 put on a life class for 1 week each day was with a different tutor/ artist and model, each having different ways of teaching the subject and each model have their own unique features.
Channel 4 had a lot of stick for putting on this program with nudity before the 9.00 watershed but I have only praise, there must be so many people in the same situation that find it difficult in finding this artistic outlet to hand. After all life drawing is one of the fundemental areas that all drawing skills are built on.
This drawing facility should be available to everyone that needs it/ wants to attend.

Below are several drawings completed from using the life models from the TV programme.
