Action plan

Week beginning Monday 12^th March- We were given the final major project brief and had to go away and research ideas and other artists, I researched artists including Cornelia Parker and Thomas Heatherwick to see what ideas I could think of from those, I also produced an artist’s research book on different interiors and structures I had found on google images, and looked at existing google offices .

Week beginning Monday 19^th March- We had a group tutorial to discuss each others ideas, which got my ideas flowing and I chose out of my two ideas to do an interior brief. I researched into certain objects including bike tyres, sinks, fridges and other household appliances, I added to my blog about my research and ideas and drew my ideas.

Week beginning Monday 26^th March- I found some drawers in the college skip and spent the Monday looking at how they could be arranged in an interesting way for an interior to be added, I so wrote on my blog about the ideas I was having.

Week beginning Monday 2^nd April- I finally found a way to display the drawers in an interesting manner, and took pictures and drew into them to figure out how an interior would work inside them. I updated my blog with ideas and thoughts and added more drawings to my sketchbook for the interior of my drawers.

Week beginning Monday 9^th April- I made my mind up and decided to cast the inside of the drawers out of wood, and began to take measurements and began cutting out wood on the band saw and putting it inside the drawers to see how it would work.

Week beginning Monday 16^th April- I made my mind up and decided to cast the inside of the drawers out of wood, and began to take measurements and began cutting out wood on the band saw and putting it inside the drawers to see how it would work.

Week beginning Monday 23^rd April- I worked out how the wood would need to be joined, and made small blocks of wood at angles which would make the piece resemble the drawers. I used wood glue to begin to attach each piece onto each piece of wood. I highlighted on my blog where I was up to and the thoughts and processes I had  been through.

Week beginning Monday 30^th April- I glued my model together at certain areas but couldn’t do it all because I needed more blocks of wood on the edges, I encountered a few problems during glueing as the model kept falling apart, but they were fixed in the end. I made more blocks of wood for each end of each block of wood. I glued these on as well and my model was beginning to become more of a structure.

Week beginning Monday 7^th May- I had to go back unfortunately and repair bits which had fallen off over the weekend, I updated my blog with the work which I had been doing over the past week. And drew some interior images on google sketch up and drawings, I thought about how I could design my office interior. I decided to making a large scale Perspex model and a bigger version off my wooden model but only two floors juts highlighting the interior.

Week beginning Monday 14^th May- I began producing my foam board model as a template for my Perspex model, and began drawing interiors ready for me to cut out some foam board. After producing this on the Monday, I started making the base for my Perspex model on the Wednesday, I glued the base together and added a supportive piece which held up the floor, and I started on making the interior by going off my google sketch up designs.

Week beginning Monday 21^st May- I made interior pieces by using the disc sander, band saw and the buffing machine, I also began making the stairs for my interior, and they were finished by the Friday as they were the tricky part. I glued down one floor of my interior on wednesday which I had been making all week. On Friday I produced drawings and began making and sanding the next floor.

Week beginning Monday 28^th May- I began adding pink Perspex onto my design to highlight the structure of the building and the structure of the interior, and made the base for my model before gluing down the pink Perspex. I glued down all remaining Perspex pieces on the Wednesday and began spraying my wooden model white on the wednesday using a white primer and on the Friday I finished it using white spray paint. Updated blog on Perspex model.

Week beginning Monday 4^th June- I printed off my google sketch up work and added more sketchbook drawings over this week because it is half term. I also updated my blog.

Week beginning Monday 11^th June- I collected my google sketch up images and sketchbook prints and mounted them on foam board, I painted my table for my foam board model and put it into my space once painted. I began evaluation for the project and began arranging my exhibition on the Wednesday. On the Friday the day of the exhibition I put all my work on the wall using a ruler and a tape measure making sure they were straight and arranged everything into its place ready for the show at 7pm.

Weekend before the deadline- Saturday 16^th and Sunday 17^th- Finished sketchbook, finished evaluation, added finishing touches to my blog and got all work ready and prepared for Monday 18^th Deadline day.
