Trace Project ''My Cells''

1.Why do I want to do this?

I always draw my cells, so I thought this is an example of the world trace.

That's why I decided to make ''my cells''.

2.What is ''My Cells''?

These are a part of my body, for example they are within my brain.
It can change everyday, anytime.

I drew the inside of my brain to express these moments and to record them.
I think recording something is very important because otherwise if you don't do it,
it is going to disappear and never come up again.

3.How to make it?

I drew my cells on two transparent sheets and used a projector.

I could feel a layer of shadow.

film - ''every moment''

put on the colour 

because I think colour also can show my feelings so it is going to important.

I made the video and uploaded it on youtube.

the final one is about my life in Farnham.

TRACE 12.OCT.Mon and 13.OCT.Tue

12.OCT.Monday

We discussed about artwork in relation to the concept of TRACE.

The begging I did not know that what is trace.

During the lecture we discussed artwork of some artist.

The one of my favourite was ‘Breath’ by Gabriel Orazco.

When I saw this first time I thought it is something steam of plate, but actually it was someone’s breath.

Then I could understand that this is also trace. Actually I have seen this kind of trace in my sister’s room because she always was sleeping on the top of the piano when she was tired. That is why for me, it is the artwork, which is very close on my life.

In addition, we watched artworks ‘Something Making Something Leeds to Nothing’ by Francis Alys, ‘Following Piece’ by Vito Accouci, ‘Rock Drawing’ by Richard Long and ‘Rubbing’ by Ana Meudieta.

I thought every trace work relate to our life like something the piano, ice, rock and snow. Those materials are familiar to us.

More than being able to see in real arts, I was able to deepen my understanding.

13.OCT.Tuesday

Drawing day!!! My hands became the drawing machines. We drew around every each of paper, it was so much fun. I used my kitchen object, which is a spoon and fork. After using drawing machines, I used a white pencil for something trace. I drew a lot of mushrooms every part of paper. Then everyone realized that I drew it! I think it is something my symbol. After finished we took 10 pictures, it is also trace.

We made Drawing Machine2 to use toilet papers and cardboards.

I think this idea that using it is mazing because usually people think that they are something worthless, but they’ve became beautiful drawing machine.

Trace of machine

It looks like strip of paper. We hung it from a ceiling. I think this colour and the gap between from a ceiling express our emotion and feeling.

Before doing this, I haven’t expected this artwork is beautiful.

I could have knowledge of trace during two days.

Rochester 10.OCT FRI

This was our second UCA campus tour,the previous  one was Canterbury.

First of all, we had a look around the fashion department which had very beautiful fabric. The model was taking photographs. It was my first time to see the model so I was excited.

My favorite fashion design 

Secondly, we had a film workshop. At the beginning I was very confused,but gradually my mind was like ohhh I see, ok lets do it!

Process1>We used a glue gun to stick the wood

Process2>Once the glue dried, we painted the wood black!

Process3>Once the black paint dried, we added texture to the wood!

Process4>Creating a rusted effect on the wood.

Point: do it naturally

Then complete!!!!!

During our Rochester tour, I got a bit lost. However, once I discovered one of the very colourful animation studios, I felt very happy!

I thought it’s my style. To be honest, I’m not very interested in animation but I really like to watch cartoons, especially the Power Puff Girls, sponge bob and marvel. The animation studio remained me of spider-man’s place in USJ (universal studio japan).

During my free time, I went back to the studio in which we had the rusted metal workshop, to design some earrings using sequins.

And I could make cute earrings using a glue gun.

Do you want to buy it???

I had a nice day in Rochester thank you~~^^
