We've kick-started #GamesDesign year two here at #hsdc Alton college with an introduction to #3DGraphics using #Blender. Only a few weeks in but I'm already impressed with how well the students have adapted to new techniques and responded to our #brutalism theme with creativity.
Glad we caught the #RuthAsawa exhibition @mao_gallery. A modernist hybrid of 3D sculpture & intricate textile weaving techniques are used to create large scale organic forms - both bold and delicate. Tough and inspiring life story. Game changing art educator.
Experienced "Weird Sensation Feels Good" @DesignMuseum. A unique exhibition that gives a snapshot of the recent #ASMR_IRL internet movement. Hypnotic #motiongraphics, meditative videos of craftspeople in flow, interactive #soundinstallations and some incredibly comfy seating.
Made a point of seeing #lightyear before its cinema run ends. The action sequences were a little repetitive but the #characterdesign and #3Danimation were as excellent as expected from #Pixar. #Sox was very funny and the sequence showing #hawthorne aging was particularly moving.
@wulumusic@WarpRecords Stumbled into this gutsy album via a #roughtrade playlist on an early morning run - my gosh. Has its heartfelt and hazy moments but also amps up to full grunge guitars, noise rap and fury against London gentrification. I used to live in South London...
#VisualArtist & ex #GraphicDesign student Adam @aj_ankowski popped in to South Downs College @hsdc to say thank you before moving to Edinburgh working for Rockstar Games. Adam's eagerness to explore diverse art styles, show flexibility and master #3Dsoftware is inspiring.
@aj_ankowski @robjyeo @robmanning_2049@RobbeCallewaert Brilliant. Keeping your portfolio varied has paid off. I will show these examples to our games design students soon.
You can read it here: @edgarwrightโs riotous interview of Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert (AKA @Daniels) for Sight & Sound, covering raiding from the best, how to turn weaknesses into strengths, and the madness that is โEverything Everywhere All At Onceโ. https://t.co/WDMAbi1MEo
That was one lively #glastonbury crowd moshing away to #sevennationarmy. Bet they couldn't believe their luck to see #jackwhite and his band perform a blistering surprise set. Proper impressed.
#HSDC Art, Design & Creative Enterprise exhibition last night. Enjoyed the eye catching #art#design#fashion#graphics & #photography work and the lively atmosphere. Kudos to all lecturers, technicians and students involved. ๐๐๐
