Week 9

The 3D scanning is a really lengthy process. The data is fed in to the system, then a figure is imported from the programme that is then superimposed on to the original scanned image. The two are then integrated in to one.

The software at L.C.F only has 2 very basic hairstyles and 3 pairs of very basic shoes.
I decided to omit the shoes and the hair as it would take the body of work in to a completely different realm, i.e. a doll with no hair.

I have decided to sculpt in to the back of her head to create a point of intrigue.

Learning outcome – I truly believe at this point, I have rediscovered myself as an artist and designer. This is where I want to be. I am able to approach and execute my ideas in with much more adventure and clarity. I feel like I am at the peak of my learning curve. The different disciplines covered in the previous modules, have given me the confidence and courage to experiment and explore in areas I would not have dreamed of otherwise. I.e. anything that involves IT, 3D scanning, setting up my own website from a blank page, designing and creating a range of fabric based structures that are solely to express, no commerce considerations.

Commerce has always been the core consideration of what one can and can’t do. However I feel this has allowed me the freedom to be self indulgent and experimental for the duration of the course and beyond.

Dyslexia Report – I was given a 22 page report by the Dyslexia psychologist, which confirmed that I am dyslexic. All the areas where I suffer and feel tormented in my life i.e. academic writing have been due to the dyslexia.
This is why I struggle to the extent I do. I truly feel tormented at the thought of not being able to achieve, express and convey in writing my thoughts and feelings.
I am suddenly at the same time relieved to know the reason behind why I struggle in writing, reading, retaining information, short-term memory, editing information, regrouping information in order of sequence.
