We used lots of techniques, such as only looking at the object, drawing with our eyes closed and feeling the object and also only using one line.
On the second day we started some work that would start of the project for the week. We started by drawing stuffed birds in our sketchbooks, again using lots of different techniques, like we had the day before. We moved around and drew three different birds all together, but we then chose one bird that we would work from for the rest of the day. We then had to draw that bird by working on the floor and using long sticks to control our media. I found this quite difficult and struggled to get anything good out of it, but my last couple of drawings were kind of okay. We did 4 drawings all in all.
We then made a model of the bird we had drawn, using newspaper and 2 of the drawings we didnt want to keep, so we used collage to make the bird look as much like the stuffed bird as possible. I found it difficult to get this started but once i got the shape done it got a lot easier, i just wish we had more time to do this so i could have got it finished before we moved onto the next step.
On the third and final day we created drawings from the model we had made the day before. We created images using lots of mixed media, such as collage, masking tape, ink, emulsion, chalk and graphite. We created 4 images on this day and i am proud of them all, but i think one could be improved a lot.
I really liked this week and it has definitely been my favourite week after fashion. I really liked it because even though it was similar to textiles, with all the drawing, i felt like i created better work and for some reason i enjoyed it more. It has also taught me how to use mixed media together a lot more and i think i will definitely use this again in the future.
