Graphic Design

Last lesson we interviewed Andrew Walker from Thin Martian about his job for inspire. He was a graphic designer. We were told to ask him about literacy and numeracy and how it is used in the work place. We got into groups and shared out roles. In my group i was the interviewer, Gina was the camera man, Kubra and Kai were directors and Ann-Marie was the sound man. We asked him the questions once or twice from different angles but from different camera angles. I think it went well because he was nice and pleasant to interview so that lifted the mood. However I also think that people began to get restless and snappy so it became difficult to work in that atmosphere. But I think that Andrew was very nice about it so it was ok.

Art-Clay

Instructions:
1.Get a wooden stand.
2.Wrap two pieces of A3 paper around it to form a basic head and neck shape.
3.Add small pellets of clay over the paper until completely covered.
4.Add details eg. chin, nose and ears but remember proportions.
5.Firing-Take the clay off the wooden stand and place in a Kiln*
6.The paper will burn away and you will be left with a firm shape.

Facts:
1.Once the clay is joined into a sphere it becomes a strong 3D shape.
2.The red clay we use is called 'Terracotta'.
3.The clay piece can be cast or fired.
4.Casting-Make a plaster mould then pour bronze* into it.

Keywords:
*Kiln: A Kiln is a an oven that goes up to 1000 degrees which is a great deal more than a normal household oven which reaches a mere 250 degrees.
*Bronze: A liquid metal.
