ATV Assignment one reflection

 

I think that my selection of objects fits the brief well, I enjoyed drawing such a wide range of textures. It was really helpful to have a focus of objects to draw. I used pencil, charcoal, printing ink, soft and oil pastels, acrylic paint, fine line pens, erasure, and various tools to scratch surfaces with.

I could have carried on drawing the same objects over again with different techniques but needed to move on time wise . I will continue to fill this sketch book with different media and approaches. I have a long list of techniques still to try.

The strongest pieces of work are where I used bolder techniques, I have found I tend to want to be very accurate and record exact detail and this produces quite boring images, my favourite drawings are the scarf in charcoal on newspaper and the back drawing/mono print of my mug. I achieved some really representative marks of felt beads, it was enjoyable and effective to use a different technique for each one.

I have been exploring ideas for my archive drawings and am really excited about the subject matter, I will try and be bold and experimental with my marks.
