First person:

 

Hello my name is Hurley and I come from a long line of sailors. My family for generations have sailed the sea and have had many adventures and from their adventures have collected boats. We have so many boats and now we have our own island… Boat Island. I will be your tour guide and show you all the ones we have in our collection. OK lets go!

 

This is our longest boat and this is the shortest 

 

I love this boat as it goes really fast, my grandma likes this one as it goes slow and is relaxing.

 

This is the fishing boat we use to catch the fish of the day, it’s a bit smelly

 

Our cruise boat is popular and people come and stay for a holiday and enjoy the entertainment on board. 

 

We have a boat that we can use to go underwater and explore the deep sea

 

And then there is the hover boat which moves above the water like magic.

This is our pirate ship which we go out to sea and have adventures on 

 

But we always come back home to our house boat which we just about all fit it. 

 

 

Week 3

Colour workshop using collage. Making thumbnails for sequence thinking about colour and how it can be used in the image to evoke emotion, relationships, atmosphere etc. I kept an illustrative feel to this task but I think it is because I haven’t a strong narrative for my project.

Using purple on the surface of the sea to reflect the sky. I never use purple so wanted to explore colours that work alongside it.

Experimenting with using red to connect the dangers (birds, boat, net) coming for the fish.

Playing with the ratios of sky to water to show the opposites between a submarine and a hover boat. Thinking about if this was a double page spread how do they sit next to each other.

Seeing if the submarine is black does it look more ominous? or does it not stand out enough? Experimenting also with a mini sequence of diving into the deep and what is waiting there for the submarine.
