Contextual Studies

Today was really inspirational! We had a guest speaker named Dominic Wilcox, a Visual Artiest. His work was really creative and fun! My favorite piece of work by him has to be his Cloud lamp-shade he calls Nimbus:

This is simply made out of lots of Styrofoam balls and glue. The reason I was so drawn to this art work is because I want to become an Interior Designer and I could see using this in one of my designs and possibly using that as the inspiration for the design itself. If I'm being honest I was really drawn to all of his "Lamp Shade" The other that I enjoyed in a quirky way, was his design of a bird cage not wasting any unnecessary space:

This is just silly to me but, because it makes me laugh, I enjoy it!

Now moving on to Vis Com...
Can't say that I am really fully enjoying this rotation, and I think this is because I am constantly confused. when I ask for clarification I just end up being even more confused than before I asked. We are doing this project that is to think of a sender (which I have done) then to think of a receiver (again I have done that) and lastly to think of a message the sender wants the receiver to get.. only they have to get the message through a serious of messages, so that by the end of receiving all of these messages the receiver knows what the sender is saying.
So here is my:
Sender: Cat
Receiver: Human/Owner
Message: Feed ME!
I have been told by a tutor that its to obvious that the cat is trying to tell the human it hungry.. but because I am doing a animation on it and have already gotten so far into it, that they told me to keep going anyway. So I have been working really hard to make sure the end product is really good.. Because in hearing that, it made me feel as though I have to prove that my idea wasn't an obvious answer.
Honestly, I am really looking forward to 3D Spacial next week!! I'm counting down the days till I'm sitting in that class! I see a lot of the BA Interior Design students in the hall ways working on drawing up to scale floor plans and it makes me sad that I am not there whit them working on it. I can only hope that I will soon be joining them soon!
