Unit X - Drawings

Unit X - Drawings


After a tutorial, it was suggested to me that I need to link my work back together and find a way to create more drawings. I decided to use my samples as tools for drawing. I found this exercise really creative and fun as it was a free way to create drawings without having to draw. I have experimented with different papers and sizes of paper to play with the scale. I found that ink gave me the best marks whilst drawing and it meant that I could drag my samples through the ink. I stayed within my colour scheme and use black and white ink. I found that this was the perfect opportunity to experiment by brining in another colour. I decided to stick to the monochrome scale and introduce tones of grey to my work. This gave my drawings a different element and allowed me to experiment with marbling the ink. I think my drawings have been successful and work really well with the work I have produced so far. I think these drawings work well with my bus movement drawings that inspired my whole project. I like the uncertainty of where the ink is going to move and what pattern its going to create.





Unit X - Laser Samples

Unit X - Sampling 


These are some laser samples that I have created using the laser cutter. I have found that by using the laser cutter to cut my samples, I am achieving the samples that I want. The laser cutter works perfect for what I am trying to achieve as I need my samples to be really precise in order to thread them up and them work together as a collection. I have used these samples to experiment with how my samples would look as a collection. I have tried to create them as a minimum of six in order to get a sense of how they would look joined together. I have experimented with different types and thickness of Perspex, from 3mm upwards to different colours, although sticking to my colour scheme throughout. I have used a white, black and a neutral coloured Perspex. I have found that clear Perspex was my favourite material as I want the line of my work to be the main focus. By using a transparent background the audience is immediately drawn to the line and no focus was taken from the journey running throughout. I also like the thread that I have used, Parachute Cord. I feel that the line is very crisp and clear through this sample. The line is free-flowing and continual throughout the whole sample.
