Here I began to make the hind leg of a rabbit, from a drawing. I started with wire and twisted it into the shape i wanted.

I then Dipped plaster bangages into water mixed with yellow paint, yellow didn't really show on finished piece...:/

This is what it looked like before i bound the seperate pieces toget her with wire,

This was the finished piece stuck on my studio wall, It turned out well enough but not as good as it was in my imagination..:P

These are three Rabbits (or Hares) i made from clay, two are in motion and one is still,

A leaping Rabbit/Hare,

A hopping Rabbit/Hare,

A still Rabbit/Hare,

I was planning on making a animation of it hoping but they became very fragile as the clay dried, wasn't able to make plaster casts because they were to intricate according to the technicians...:(

From behind...lol

I then attempted to make a bigger and less intricate Rabbit/Hare.

My Bunny while in the rough stages, i gave him humanoid arms and folded legs, feet still broke off despite the wire support..)


My Bunny(Rabbit Heart) finished....but before i made the cast i began to move more towards my heart idea and never make a cast....also his feet fell off and i got annoyed...:P

Motion and Movement in relation to Rabbits...................

This is a page from my Contextual Book, it shows how i found inspiration in the work of Sofie Ryder humanoid Rabbits and Beatrice Potters Character Peter Rabbit, also the i found the rabbit skull an interesting image. how a rabbit would move if it had a human body.


Charcoal Drawing of a Rabbit Skeleton from my sketch book. This is what allows the rabbit to move.

Page from my Contextual exploring the way rabbits move and how there Skeletal structure allows them to move.

Section of my contextual, small sketch, clay rabbits and another artist drawing of a rabbit skeleton.

Contextual again, Sculpture by Barry Flanagan of a humanoid hare, relating back to my idea concerning The Peter Rabbit idea, again human movement.

My rendition of a drawing by Barry Flanigan and a drawing of a Rabbit skeleton found in my sketch book.

I came up with the idea of rabbits in clothes from vogue magazine, this is the result of combing my two separate inspirations of Petter Rabbit and Barry Flanagans sculpture, this is a drawing of a rabbit wearing a Patrick Demarcheller cropped sweat shirt from October 2011 issue of vogue magazine, how would it move..? found in my sketch book..

Fashion elective at last...!! XD

For the two weeks of fashion I have to complete a project based on shape.....form 5 word groupings which were , Volume/ Bulky/ Blunt, Spire  /Strength/ Structural, Flimsy/ Ethereal/ Fuzzy, Regime/ Uniformity/ Restrictive and Liquid/ Runny/ Wobbly.....From the five word groupings I choose Flimsy/ Ethereal/ Fuzzy, I created a mind map pf all options just in case I decide to change my mind but i stook with Flimsy/ Ethereal/ Fuzzy and decide to go with smoke as it embodies all the characteristics of the three words , Flimsy/ Ethereal/ Fuzzy........................



This is the mind map from my sketch book,


This sis the first drawing of smoke, the drawing was done with chalk and metallic pencils on black paper, the colour was unnecessary but creates a nice effect, the drawing on the left and on the bottom are my and the picture on the right is my source image...


These are the shapes I pulled from this image.....


My second drawing of smoke, both drawings on the left are mine and the picture on the right is my source image, I used chalk and a white pencil to create this one.....


Shapes pulled from drawing number two,


This is my third and favourite drawing....using metallic pencils and chalk, the source image on the right and drawings on the left,


These are the shapes I pulled and the middle on with the X is one of the two shapes I choose,


My fourth drawing, mine to the left sourse image to the right, 


Shapes I pulled and the shape with X is one of the two shapes I choose,


This is the fifth and final drawing and is also my least favourite drawing, the drawings on the bottom and to the left are mine, source images to the left,


The shapes I pulled from it,


Here are drawings of my 360 degree Croquis and of my two chosen shapes, which I will use while we're working with paper......
