Transformation from Big bird into a cupcake

today we had a 'Transformation' drawing workshop, I thought this was a bit odd but the results were interesting. Transforming one objects into another in 4 stages & mentally taking an object apart to understand its construction.

Monday 24th October:

Tutorial = 11:45

today we have our first tutorial- one on one tutor time, it was suggested to me to set my own tasks. My project is too open, I need to find a path to take (think about the most significant objects in collection to focus on?)  and produce more research -visit Museum of Childhood. Later on in the day, we were all encouraged to use more colour & to think about scale & how we want colour to come across (Bold, Synthetic- toy-like, bright, stand out)
