Practice 1A: Evaluation on Rotations

I liked 3D Volume most out of all the rotations, I enjoyed using plaster and combining it with different textures I felt It worked well and made the pieces very tactile. I became interested in taking soft, fragile materials and making them hard and solid changing our perception of them. I felt the pocket and tight piece worked best and had the most potential.

For gesture/paint I enjoyed layering colours, observing how they dried. I produced quick gestural drawings which I felt worked best, setting myself a time limit and working from different angles. I also liked the task where we had to produce a painting using only three lines, I liked the fact that it was challenging and required to be more thoughtful when placing the paintbrush on the page 

For Duration I used photography to document my walk to uni, I experimented with Photoshop, focusing on light and capturing it from street lights/cars (see sketchbook) I also used video to record the city hall which is the view from the window, I liked using video as a way of documenting and capturing daily routines.

Drawing/Print I attended life drawing every week and produce a lot of observational drawings, often timed and instructed to use different mediums, my drawings progressed over time. I also drew from my surroundings, a lot of quick sketches; I used different mediums and combined them to develop initial drawing further, which I felt worked well, especially the paint/pastel chalk as it adds textural qualities. I experimented with Printmaking, but it did not inspire me, although I am glad I became familiar with the studio and how to print.
