2.1.1 Inspirations Workshop

Summer Drawings

I found the peer review I received in response to my summer work the be highly formative, key themes and direction was highlighted in my work and many possible areas of exploration. I was told there was a good variety of techniques within my drawings, but areas to develop and venture into could be; experimenting with different grounds, combining techniques, and producing some drawings on illustrator or photoshop with focus on line. Also exploring different scales when I draw was recommended, zooming into past drawings really changed the feel of the piece and displayed new textures, colours balances, and gradients, all aspects that could be redeveloped into my work.

Form in Nature and Life, A. Feininger

The most important feedback I received, I feel, was direction on my overall concept. Even though I had centred on Stacking for my summer work I did not feel confident enough to continue with it, my peers upon assessing my work felt that my nature inspired drawings were the most successful, containing the most colour, pattern, and texture. Guided by this new subject I went to the library to discover more about the possibilities and found 'Form in Nature and Life' by A, Feininger, a book filled with nearly all the artistic elements from nature. This book alongside my new Pinterest boards has inspired a new line of enquiry for my oncoming project.
