Photography joiners and slow shutter speed
Based on the work of Photographic artist Kevin Meredith we created our own joiners by taking multiple images of different sections of the body and mixing them with those of other people. We took the photos outside, my group chose a wooden fence as our background, and other photos in the studio, we then combined the 2.

Slow shutter speed
shutter speed is the length of time a cameras shutter is open when taking a photograph. This then determines the amount of light that will be taken into the photo or image. Slow shutter speed is particularly good at capturing movement as the different positions of the subject will all be captured in the same image, it is like taking multiple images of a subject all in different positions and layering them together into the same image. An artist who explored this technique was Man Ray - http://www.manraytrust.com/

Mould formed baby
In class we made plaster casts of babys faces and limbs, these were then filled with clay to get a moulded shape. We worked in pairs for this workshop and me and my partner desided to make a head out of 2 babys faces and use arms and legs to make it look like an odd spider baby. When joining all the parts together, being hollow a few collapsed under the pressure, this made the baby look even stranger but also added to the exquisite corpse factor. We then glazed the baby and this is how it turned out:
Paper, wire and wax foot and hand
Notes on making this are included in the sketch book, below is the health and safety required.
Be careful around wire, sharp ends can be dangerous, wear protective gloves if needed.
When applying gum tape clear up any water spillages and wipe desk of excess residue left behind.
Be extremely cautious when handling hot wax, use tool provided or spoon to apply wax onto sculpture or sample.
Allow wax to dry before handling or adding additional layers.
Wax should always be heated slowly in a specially designed pan suspended over a larger one partially filled with water.
Working surface should be free from obstructions.
