- Day started 9:30am.
- Exciting day as had a meeting with old school art teacher Mrs. C. Jones.
- Was great to see her as well as school. Met a few more people I used to know: Dawn Jarrett (Classroom Assistant), Lisa Handley (Classroom Assistant), Mr. R. Baker (Art teacher), and Mr. I. Trevethick (Deputy Head).
- Funny to see stair lift in foyer gone and new stair lift in Art Department.
- At meeting it was agreed I do 3hours Tuesday mornings from 10th January to 27th March 2012. Cannot wait!
- Met with the secretary, Mrs. Thurlow to receive CRB forms for both me and Maureen. Also to inform that I have my own keys to the lift.
- Back at uni, by 11am filled in the CRB forms to hand back in on Thursday with passport and two proofs of current address.
- After lunch coloured in my re-drawn 'one-off' bad guy, which I scanned in over the weekend.
Found out that he actually looked older than more sinister. So I decided to keep hold of the previous version.
Sorry Claire and Luka. Your advice didn't quite work!
- Started colouring the Teleport Machine.
- Day ended 3:45pm.
Thursday 17th November 2011
- Day started 9:30am.
- Another trip to school with CRB forms and proofs.
- Had to wait for Mrs. Thurlow until she came back from an appointment. Meanwhile, met Mr. Pryer, (surprise surprise). He was an RE teacher (and my favourite of them all). Now, his job is to look after the disabled students at school. See how they are doing and see what they need. He asked me to have a chat with one disabled student (Sophie) who has a potential and wants to go to uni to do Art, when I start my work experience. I was happy to do just that and cannot wait!
- Mrs. Thurlow came and sorted out our forms and photocopied our proofs ready to be sent off.
- Back at uni by 11am.
- Carried on colouring the Teleport Machine and added shadings.
The idea of the blue screen where the name of the destination appears when on and typed, came from my blue screen on my musical keyboard.
Also, thinking about the shading, while I was shading the Teleport Machine, I thought back to some cartoons I used to watch where the background were in details whereas the characters were in flat block colours. The background stays detailed until something is moved in different angles.The best example I found was from The Little Mermaid Series. This segment at 2:20 shows a pile of rock pushed from detail to flat.
This idea has made me relieved as I felt that if I were to add shading to everything including the characters would be very time consuming and very tiring!
- Day ended 4pm.
