Playful project outcomes by Sculpture student Saheed Kasali. @sk_l3vels #riskassessment ‘My sculptures set out to explore what happens when familiar objects are stripped of their original function and forced into new, often absurd relationships with the body. Working with found transportation objects.’ #UALfoundation #Sculpture

Bringing characters to life through stop frame animation. A short clip from ‘An Arm and a Leg’ by Film and Animation students Annie, Tara, Daniel, Yurika and Charlotte. Working in teams, students create storyboards, models, set designs and stop frame animation outcomes. (You don’t want to know how this story ends…) #UALfoundation #Costofliving #Animation

🦜In today’s one-day workshop, Illustration students explored how scale can build narrative, create impact, and engage viewers. Working from an image or idea developed in their Unit 3 project, they had just four hours to scale up and install their work on-site at Lime Grove. Amazing work! @communication_ualfoundation #illustration #UALfoundation

3D printed textile samples by @fashion_textiles_ual_fad student Mai Suzki @maisuzki exploring the boundaries between organic and inorganic, human and non-human. ‘Where the body begins to transform into an object.’ #UALfoundation work-in-progress crits. #3dprinting

🌞 First day of summer term! Here’s a round-up of #WIP crits happening across the studios at Lime Grove - always one of the most exciting times of the year. Brilliant to see final projects starting to take shape. #UALfoundation ✨
