Through the Can

I took a few shot of my paper cans, at a different angle this time.

Crumpled

Here a some photos of what other materials look like after being flattened out after being wrapped around the aerosol can and being distorted.

Tinfoil

Brown Paper

Canvas

White

I found that my texture work was really effective and some white A4 sketchbook paper I had so I decided to repeat the process a couple of times to see what interesting lines I could make. I think I will use the lines I have created here in a different way further along my project.

Imitations

I took down my can photos from my wall and put them in my sketchbook. To incorporate my new work with them i used them as templates to cut around some of the texture paper I had made to imitate the texture of the can.

Paper Cans

I tried out this paper crumpling technique with many different types of paper to see the effects I could achieve. I really enjoyed this work and I think it is taking my project on a good direction.

Progress

To help move my project on from focusing on Coca Cola can and bring back around to destruction, Elaine gave me some really helpful guidance by saying I shouldn't look at the coke logo as much but look at the structure of the destructed can. So I started working on a small can model in response to that, complete with the twists and turns of the can I have been looking at.

 

After that, Elaine showed me some useful techniques to further my work of this kind. She showed me how by wrapping a type of paper around an aerosol can, for example, and then shoving the paper down, you can recreate the shape of a can aswell as showing lines of destruction.

 

 

Drawing from can Photos

From the series of photos I took of the cans I decided to make a drawing focusing mainly on the distorting lines.

 

I then decided to photocopy it and try some different things with it. First, I added colour.

Then I moved on from the idea of the colour of the can to the texture of it which I think represents the theme of my project more accurately. So, I folded the picture over on every line to see what kind of texture I would end up with.

Cutting Cans- Part 2

Here are a sample of the photographs I took when I examined the cans that I had cut a little more intensely.

 

I also took a video that examined how the cans bounced once they were placed on top of each other.
