My name is Cora-Jade Henry and i was born in Mansfield on July 14th, 1998.

Every since i was a little girl, i have been very passionate about the art side of things as i have always been very creative with ideas. 

From a young age i was always chose to take part in tasks at High Oakham Primary School such as; Designing play sets for the school, Wall pictures, Designs to put up around the school and many more which were all based around art. While i was at High Oakham, i won two competitions, one that was designing a new dinning hall for our school, for this i had to design the walls, what design for patten they would have on they to make the room more bright and enjoyable for the young pupils, the table and chairs, which i designed the chairs to be all attached together so that is was more safe for the pupils to walk around and for them to be the same colours as our team houses for sports days and assemblies. For the second competitions, it was creating a poster for DARE to be put up all around the schools in nottinghamshire. I won money towards the school, £40 gift vouchers and a picture and article of me in the CHAD.

                                                                                                                                                                   Examples of my work:

For our first project, we got assigned to create a animation set. We had the choice to base it around any idea so in which i chose a farm animal setting. I used many different ways of creating my sene such as my trees were made out of a wire frame which was then covered in plaster bandage over the top. Then once they had dried, i painted over the plaster to create a wood effect and then i used tissue paper to be used as the leaves.

To make my animation set, i had to create something for my figures and trees to stand on so i created stage look out of grey board. I used grey board as it isn't flimsy, its quiet strong, so this was ideal for my base to my set.

I also started off with using clay to create my farm animal figures, this was because once they had dried, they didn't move and are harder to damage. Some were made out of just cray and the other were made out of a wire frame and then filled and covered with clay.

After i played around with making my clay models, i moved onto plastercen models as i found out that i could be move creative with them. The down side this was that they were easily damaged, therefore i had to keep putting them back together if the fell apart or broke. I made these models half with a few bits of wire inside to help the arms and legs ext to stop breaking, and then covered in plastercen.

                                                                                                                                              

                                                                                                                                                                       

For my next project, it was based around cyberbullying and making people more aware of it. For the start of our project, we was asked to create some sort of information card which people could pick up and take home with them to read. At first, i struggled with the task as i didn't really know much about the whole bullying area but i started doing some research and getting a few ideas. I wanted to do something that wasn't obvious that it was about cyberbullying, i wanted to do something that caught peoples eye so that there there eger to pick it up and have a read.

My next task was to create a poster but by using one of my drawings out of plastles as the main focus, so i chose the one were it was a picture of a phone to represent cyberbullying, with the reflection of a girl dealing with cyberbullying the way she thought was the best way to become free from it all.

   

                                                                                                                                                  

Skills:

From taking part in this course i have learnt many different skills to help me complete my different tasks which will help me later in life.

Monty Python

 

Monty Python, sometimes known as The Pythons, were a British surreal comedy group, Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin, who created their sketch comedy show 'Monty Python's Flying Circus', that first aired on the BBC on October 5th, 1969.

Graham Chapman was born in Leicester and studied medicine at Cambridge and St. Bartholomew's, but he first participed in Cambridges footlights club, where he met and partnered with John Cleese which then led to his touring in New Zealand with 'Cambridge Circus'. Comedy overtook his medical career so Chapman and Cleese together wrote for "That was the week that was", "The frost report", "At last the 1948 show", "Marty" and "How to irritate people".

John Cleese was born in Weston-Super-Mare in North Somerset. Cleese studied law at Cambridge University, where he also wrote and performed in Cambridge Footlights revues with medical student Graham Chapman. He escaped a projected career as a solicitor by accepting an offer to write for BBC Radio. Cleese later worked on the pun-filled radio sketch show, "Im sorry, i'll read that again", which led to writing and starring in David Frosts's "The Frost Report" where he met fellow writers Michael Palin, Terry Jones and Eric Idle.




Eric Idle was born in South Shields in Northern England. Idle was president of Footlights at Cambridge University and was the first to allow women into the theatrical club. He appeared on stage in "Oh! What a lonely war" contributed to the BBC Radio series "Im sorry, I'll read that again", and worked on "The Frost Report" and "We have ways of making you laugh" which also featured cartoonist Terry Gilliam. He later invited Terry Jones and Michael Palin and eventually Gilliam to join him on "Do not adjust your set".




Terry Gilliam was born and raised in Minneapolis and Los Angeles, Terry Gilliam's youthful enthusiasm for drawing cartoons infused his academic life and his streak of anti-authoritarianism. His early knockabout career, as a magazine illustrator and art director in L.A. and New York City in the 1960's, allowed him to cross paths with "Cambridge Cricus" starr John Cleese, who he featured in a "Help" magazine photo essay about a man's lust for a Barbie doll.




 Terry Jones was born in Colwyn Bay, Wales. Among the Pythons, was an enthusiastic and passionate driver of the group. He has pursued perhaps the broadest range of artistic and intellectual pursuits, from writing and preforming to directing from comedian and childrens book author to Middle Ages scholar from documentary host to political columnist. Jones teamed up with fellow Oxford student Michael Palin to write and perform revues for the University's theatre club.





Michael Palin was born in Sheffield, Yorkshire. Michael was a student of history at Oxford, where he wrote and performed in theatrical shows with Terry Jones. The two became writing partners whose TV credits included "The Frost Report", "Marty", "Do not adjust your set" and "The complete and utler history of Britain".




 

Buster Keaton

Keaton was an American actor born in Kansas, US and passed in LA, US age 70.

As well as acting he was also well known for his directory, stunts, producing and writings. He began performing in 1917 featuring for the film The Butcher Boy. In 1924 he performed in the short film The Navigator the film shows how far Keaton would go to capture such a perfect gag sequence, the gags in the scenes that were performed underwater created the surreality in the scene though if the background of the underwater scene were to look more realistic then Keaton's actions would look more surreal.

One week

Buster Keaton stared in One Week. Many of the scenes are so unrealistic others however are really artfully constructed. A young couple has just got married and arrive at their new property, a truck arrives and drops a wooden box at their feet, inside the box is a wooden build it yourself kit for their new house. The couples efforts to build the house are both adorable and hilarious, involving slapstick manor and risky stunts. The next day the husband is stood at the front of the house, which looks as though it had been involved in a train wreck. The roof is too small and the house opens and closes at different parts on the walls.

 In the next scene a man is carrying a piano over his shoulder it was seen by the public as a very surrealist image. The piano then becomes the centre of attention in which the couple both use ropes to pull the piano inside the house but fails at the end as it falls through the floor.

Its easy to see why films such as One Week appealed to surrealists such as Bunuel who described Keaton and Chaplin as 'The finest poets that cinemas could have produced'

Bruce Lacey

1 - Bruce Lacey exsists
2 - Spike Milligan exsists
3 - Spike Milligan had 3 wifes
4 - Milligan had 6 children
5 - Bruce Lacey makes robots

Milligan was the co-creator, main writer and a principal cast member of The Goon Show, performing a range of roles including the popular Eccles and Minnie Bannister characters. Milligan wrote and edited many books, including Puckoon, a comic novel.

Family

Comic novel by Spike Milliagn

Milligan had 3 Wifes throughout his life. He married his first wife, June Marlow, in 1952. They had three children - Laura, Sean and Sile and then divorced in 1960. He had one daughter with his second wife, Patricia Ridgeway. They were married in 1962 and the marriage then ended with her death from breast cancer in 1978. In 1975, Milligan had a son , James, born in 1976, in an affair with Margaret Maughan. Another child, a daughter Romany, is suspected to have been born at the same time to a Canadian journalist named Roberta Watt. His last wife who he remained married to until he passed was Shelagh Sinclair, married in 1983 and divorced in 2002.



Death

Milligan died from Kidney failure, at the age of 83, at his home in Rye, Sussex. On the day of his funeral, March 8th, 2002, his coffin was carried to St Thomas's Church in Winchelsea and was draped in the flag of Ireland. He had once quipped that he wanted his headstone to say the words "I told you I was ill." He was buried at St Thomas's churchyard but the Chichester diocese refused to allow this epitaph. A compromise was reached with the Irish translation, "Duirt me leat go raibh me breoite" and in English, "Love, light, peace".

Laurel and Hardy

Stan Laurel was born Arthur Stanley Jefferson on June 16th, 1890 in Ulverston, England and died on February 23th, 1965.

 

Oliver Hardy was born Norvell Hardy on January 18th, 1892 in Harlem, Georgia and died on August 7th, 1957.

Laurel and Hardy were a comedy double act during the early Classical Hollywood era of American cinema. They became well known during the late 1920s through the mid-1940s for their slapstick comedy with Laurel playing the clumsy and childlike friend of pompous Hardy.

Harold lloyd

Harold Clayton Lloyd was born in Burchard, Nebraska, United States in April 20th, 1893.

 He was an American actor, comedian, film director, film producer, screenwriter and stunt performer who is most famous for his silent comedy films.

Charlie Chaplin

Charles Spencer Chaplin was born in London, England, on April 16th 1889. His father was a vocalist and actor and his mother was an a attractive actress and singer. Due to his fathers early death and the illness of his mother at the age of ten,  meant that Charile and his brother, Sydney had to fend for themselves.

When he was twelve, he first acted in a legitimate stage show and appeared as ''Billy'' the paper boy, in the support of William Gillette in ''Sherlock Holmes''.  Charlie then started a career as a comedian in vaudeville, which eventually took him to the United States in 1910.

 

  

 

 

 

Charlie starred in many films like:

 

The Kid - 1921

 In 1921, he came out with a six-reem masterpiece: The Kid, in which he introduced to the screen one of the greatest child actors the world has ever known, Jackie Coogan.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Circus - 1928

''The Circus'' won him his first Academy Award in 1929 but as late as 1964, it seemed this was a film he preferred to forget. The reason was not the film itself, but the deeply fraught circumstances surrounding its making.

 

 

 

Automatic story

There was once a girl called betty and she was a cat. She run all the way up and down the street every day so that she could see the rabbits run into their holes. One day a bettle came up to betty and bit her ear off. Betty started poring out skittles and all the ants all over the world came to witness this moment. when betty calmed down, the skittles began to stop. Everyone drived into them and fillied all their tiny tummies. But there was a problem, betty was angry, this wanted her skittles back so she began to scream and shout until the tardis landed and squished all the creates. Betty was so pleased but then suddenly realised that her skittles also had been squashed so she tipped the tadis over and set it on fire. Betty ran all the way back home to see that her feathers had been damaged in the riot. By this time betty was hungry so she skipped down to KFC to get herself a bargin buket all to herself until she then lately choaked on a chicken bone while on the toilet and died. Bettys mum then fell madly in love with bettys lover and they lived happily ever after.

 

The end.

Automatism

Andre Masson. Automatic Drawing. 1924

Automatic Drawing

Automatism has taken on many forms: the automatic writing and drawing practiced by surrealists can be compared to similar or perhaps parallel phenomena such as the non-idiomatic improvisation.

Surrealist automatism is different from mediumistic automatism from which the term was inspired. Ghosts, spirits or the like are not purported to be the source of surrealist automatic messages.

The Surrealists embraced automatic drawing as way to incorporate randomness and the subconscious into their drawings, and to free themselves from artistic conventions and everyday thinking.

This technique, they felt was a way in to access meaning and information unavailable through tradition and the conscious mind.

Max Ernst. The Entire City 1934

Frottage is a surrealist and automatic method that involves creating a piece of work by rubbing an textured surface using a pencil or other drawing material. An example of one is on the left hand side.

The technique was developed by Max Ernst in drawings made from 1925. Frottage is the French word for rubbing.

Automatic Drawing is sort of an yoga experience foe artists. It is the key to becoming centered, whole and flexible. Regular yoga practice loosens the body and relaxes the mind and sprit. Automatic drawing or free drawing does the same for artists.

My Automatic drawings;

I enjoyed doing this session as I was able to let my mind run free by just moving my pencil anywhere all around the paper. 

Automatic Writing

Automatic writing is the process of writing without using the conscious mind.

T-Shirt Designs

The t-shirt on the left hand side interests me because of the unusual colours behind the design which makes the black stand out very well on the bright colours. I also like the design on this t-shirt as it is meant to be the famous Mikey Mouse but has been made into something which is different to the eye.

I like the contrast of colours on this t-shirt, therefore i will be fitting it into my design.

From this image on the left, i am drawn to the 'M&E' within side the circle design located on the front of the black t-shirt. The white writing stands out well with the black which makes the text clearer to read from a distance to some. I am not to sure on the all black background of the t-shirt as to me it seems abit somehow too plan for my liking.

If i were to use my own brand within this up coming project, i would take into consideration about using the circle design to sit my brand in.

I like the t-shirt on the left because not only is it simple but it also stands out with the big and bold writing. The brand of this t-shirt is located at the bottom, the 'Nike' sign. The brand is small, but is recognised all over world due to its popularity with either sports wear or just fashion itself. I also like the added pink on this t-shirts to give it a focus point on the t-shirt so that not only does it look more appealing, it also makes the brand stand out to the buyers so that they know which company the t-shirt has came from.
From this image, i will use the different colour scemes to make      my brand stand out from the rest of the t-shirt.

I like the added pocket which is a bright image and the t-shirt itself is just one colour. This catches your eye and makes the t-shirt more interesting to look at rather just black design placed onto a plan white t-shirt.

This image may be very simple, but it is humorous. I think that this sort of style t-shirt would catch peoples eye even though there is no bright colours, the design itself is interesting which will make you want to look at it to find out what it is and says.






Nike is an American multinational corporation that is engaged in the design, development, manufacturing and worldwide marketing and selling footwear, apparel, equipment, accessories and services. Nike is one of the worlds largest suppliers of athletic shoes and apparel and a major manufacturer of sports equipment. In 2014 the brand alone was valued at $19 billion, making it the most valuable brand among sports businesses.

One of the main focuses of Adidas has always been football kit and the associated equipment. Adidas remains a major company in the supply of team kits for international association football teams and clubs, including Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Manchester United. 

My Designs;

When designing my  logo, i first began thinking of different ideas that were catchy and if they would appeal to the public and what age range i wanted it to be aimed at. 

My first idea what 'Hashtag' as it links in with the social media and i think that this name will become popular very quickly just like the t-shirt logo 'Obey'. 

I first began sketching up a few ideas such as the ones below. My first idea was trying to put something together that represents the word 'hashtag' but which can also be stood on its own and still be recognized without the full word so i thought of mixing up the 'H' and the 'T' together but still try and make it look like a hashtag.

For my second design i used the full word 'Hashtag' but instead of keeping the 'H' at the start, i changed it into a hashtag to make it more effective but still recognizable to the public.

My third idea was to use both the word 'Hashtag' and the hashtag itself so i decided to put the hashtag in front of the word hashtag to make it look more realistic to the public as that's what you do on social media. I also added a circle around it so it stands out more so it catches peoples eye.

For my forth design, i drew out a hashtag but instead of having all the word after it, I decided to just draw out the word 'tag' and I then wrote out 'clothing' underneath in a smaller font. I like this design as you can just pick out the hashtag to use as its own design instead of having the rest of the word there all the time.





My fifth idea is to have the full word 'hashtag' but to have a hashtag infused in with the text so i created it within the 'h' and the 't'.

 

I began thinking about adding patterns either on the sleeves, on a pocket or just on the t-shirt itself. I picked a few designs to the right which i thought would work well on my t-shirt design.
