FMP PowerPoint 24th March

PowerPoint   24th March

With the Easter holidays looming, I had to make sure I get as much done in college as possible. The first thing I have to do is my PowerPoint presentation. I got a lot of my slides done on Friday, so Monday I could spend a little more time on what I want to say, as well get the last few images. I have to make sure I have everything ready for Thursday. I still haven't done all my slides. With it being a half day tomorrow, I can finish it then and run through what I'm going to say.

It was mostly PowerPoint presentations today and seeing as I was listening, I tried to come up with good questions and comments to help my 3D family. With Jenny going first, I heard all about her design and processes. She had moved from realistic human forms to more abstract. While Jenny was talking, I made a small note to make sure I commented on them when it was our time to speak. With a lot of people giving advice, I was glad that Jenny seemed to like my ideas of looking at cubism and questions on the texture of her work.

The next person to show their PowerPoint was Adam. His idea for tiles with functions was a interesting concept. I listened and made some notes. I commented on colour and size choices that he might want to think about as well as asking about replacing broken tiles.

After the PowerPoints, I thought about my presentation. How might I answer the questions that were asked if it was my presentation, and what I might add?

 

I managed to look at the glass pieces I put in the kiln yesterday. They were cooling nicely, but with the temperature still to hot at 100°C, it needs a little more time before its ready to come out. I could take them out tomorrow morning and see which of them looks the best so I can try and make a test piece of what the locket would look like when I come back from the holidays.

While I was looking at my glass pieces, I was shown another student's work. He was working in glass and the effects he got from the slump moulds were simply beautiful. He went on to explain the different effects he used to get each glass form, changing the size of overhang on each one to create different forms and shapes. By far my favourite was the largest of the glass bowls. It was the one with the largest overhang. The edges had taken on a flowing smooth quality that had a very pleasing appearance. I have a feeling I might not be able to do this myself with my jewellery, but I want to keep an open mind as a couple of test pieces might give me a good idea whether I use it in this project. Keeping an eye on other students' work is a good idea as the possibility for getting new ideas is endless.
