Good Ole CCS Tutorials....

The importance of maths in art?
''Please God no!''
After years of struggling with maths I've spent the past two years thinking i'd never have to look at a sum again. Then David starts going on about geometry, proportion, Fibonacci...
''CONCENTRATE.. geometry was one of your stronger points in maths.. this could be interesting no?''


Hell yes. One hour later i find my head buzzing with the possibilites of the things i have to learn about maths from architecture through to paintings, sculpture... We've been set an assignment on how we think science betters art and i seem to be slightly...looking forward to getting started!
''Since when do you ever give a damn about studying or reports or essays.. let alone do them!? What have these people DOPED you with you fool!''
Its strange finding myself eager to learn all of a sudden, but i'm sure it can only be a good thing, the fact that i'm finding myself so interested in these things is puttng a bright light at the end of the tunnel i think. I'm feeling good about this! Can't wait to get started.
''You've gone mad''
Why yes, i do believe i have.

October started with alot of gelatine and alot of ink...

 Injecting indian ink with a syringe to half-set gelatine produced some cool results!
 These two were experiments with colours i mixed up using water-soluble pastels and injectig them to fully set gelatine.
