12th March 2017.


I went to an exhibition, to try and see if anything can inspired me.
It was a cool experience to different objects from different century and toys, that i looked at. There was a lot too look at with two floors, filled with toys. This was very Overwhelming with different things to see. However it was an nice experience to see the history of toys.

I saw this Star Was Slide Projector set and it mention it was made in England by Chad Valley Company. This set was a very popular toy in the 1970s . This was cool too see. Even though this has doesn't have anything for my Snow Queen. However, Going out to exhibitions to open you mind to other things and maybe making hybrids with unusual things can be interesting.

This was interesting, as the maker of the moving Camera, 1997-of the circuits and motors , was used by wooden spoons and engineering materials.  The materials as simple as they are. They have created a powerful machine. This adds to my snow queen as her power is simple but yet so powerful and performances such greatness.

This is moving and changing pictures that were made in the 1800s .They were stills that became movements  through the quick sequences that it appeared to be moving, changing or anamorphic pictures  that was popular in the 1600. The small detail gave the character, in such a small space, so i wanted to Incorporated this into my own work, with small details i believe it will work with my character,as it will add to my theme, but add to my character, maybe even causing her to come alive. Each disc will tell a story through there small imagery, so communicating characters traits and personality, had to come from there clothes and prop. This made me aware of what i had to do for my snow queen, making sure that her theme is projected and talks for herself, as her heart wont be apparent, but it will be there.

Overall this was good day out, to see ancient Toys and how they came about. It helped with different aspect in my snow queen, as small at it was. Going out and looking and seeing different things is very good, as it opens your mind to different things that you may have not thought off and freshers the mind, which is something;
