Transcript of Monster Chair
We where given these words and was tasked to simply “cre-ate a project” for two weeks.
We first struggled to find ideas.
Then we had loads of ideas for the start of the project.
Some of our first ideas included taking images of rotting apples, a random chair in a room and arranging leaves onto paper.

After discussion we had finally found a starting point, ‘the dae-mon chair’. After this we began to evolve the idea from just
a green chair, to a chair that has facial features such as a tongue, eyes and a huge mouth. We came up
with this idea in the first place as we took the word “Daemon” from “Demonstrate” and
we “foraged” for a chair that we found arround college. As we began to
create the actual chair we had the idear of stop motion video. We then decided to create the chir and creat a stop motion video that included all of the gruop and other college students.
This is the final project we made using a chair and spray paint. The whole idea changed from our first simple idea of a red hair to a green chair that ac-tually looks like monster with eyers, tail and the large mouth.
Then followed the stop motion video. We had decided on this whilst we where in the middle of creating the actual chair. The whole idea was to improve on the whole basis of humour by creating a video instead of just the sculpture.
In conclusion to this whole piece, I would say that I have enjoyed it. I have learnt that graphics involves many ar-eas of work and that thinking differ-ently creates origionality. The ques-tions the teachers asked provoked us to think in a different way to the normal.If we where to do anything again I think that we would have benefited from having less people in one group and to not just think that we need to produce a final piece and to get it over and done with, but to bend the ques-tion or brief into something different and original. Like we did in the end.
