Week Three

At the beginning of the week we were given a basic drawing activity where we had to draw observationally and as accurately as possible from our computers and continue this technique with work at home. Finding everyday objects to draw from, using a measured drawing technique so the image is accurate and in proportion.

Drawing from a moving image. We were given a series of short clips to draw from and interpret as we wish with any media - from watercolour to charcoal. We were encouraged to not draw observationally and express the mood and motion in the clip in our drawings. I enjoy working in an abstract and conceptual way in this activity - for example I used a mash of bright colours in chalk and ink to represent children in a ball pool and continuous blind line drawing to represent the movement of two people dancing very quickly.

Wednesday was a 3D day. We disassembled an object and drew from it, identifying an interesting part or aspect of it to recreate in a sculpture later in the day.

I chose staples.
