Visit to the V&A

so these are some of the photos me and our group took on our lovely cooold windy trip to the V&A was alot of fun and found quite alot of images that would help out in both concept and modelling objects that would be needed for our boat

research for the boat

so after finding out about the boat and what not , i decided on looking at the outside designs of the boat looking at what concept designs i would have to draw for the outside, while looking it up steph helped me out telling me about needing eyes on the front of the ship and showed me images of this apparently most of all the junk ships would have eyes on them due to folklore of the ship being able to bring them back to port from heavy weather and to ward off any demons that would of followed the boat. O_O eyes are definitely a useful thing wouldn't you think? lol

Junk ship

right well firstly sorry it has taken me this long to start blogging but never really been used to it and lol dont really like to but anywhoo better later then never! so heres the project for digital enviroments , im part of a six person group my self included and we decided upon making a chinese junk ship in which we would show the whole of the junk ship and all its interior , now a little info on junk ships.

so junk ships has been used in china since the 2n century AD so a very very looong time lol, they were used to transport goods all across the world as well as bring back goods from other countries, so they would take the jade they had travel to perhaps europe and trade with them for their iron.

Now the junk ship we will be modelling along with the interior has been all set up as if it was the 14th century so that was ming dynasty at that time.
