This week we started the class off by listening to some music and drawing the sounds (or dancing with out hands whilst holding drawing tools). This is something I have been interested in for so long! The results that I got from the exercise I was thoroughly impressed by. The
y were these abstract, spontaneous drawings! We were encouraged to
use a range of different mediums, including watercolour, which really enhanced the drawings and layered them up, which was similar to what the music sounded like. So we made all these beautiful sound drawings, then we CUT THEM UP. Yes, it was very sa
d, but we used them to create three collages, based around three words we thought described our pieces. My words were: clustered, intricate and sporadic.
After creating these collages we used photocopies of them to make six maquettes. The purpose of making these maquettes was to explore different ways of cutting, folding, and using other techniques to make the surfaces 3D.
We then used the most successful methods of creating a 3D object to create one final piece. I felt that folding things was a really good way to make them 3D and also created this nice little pattern across the surface too when you to excess folding. So for the last object I just cut out the collages and only folded them, then placed them together using a bit of glue. I think I have been watching too many alien movies.
During this class we were introduced to the concept of mapping your thoughts and practices. Here is my map of this weeks class, Its actually quite handy to know exactly what went though my mind while I was creating things. Although this is just a mind map of what I remember thinking and doing, I think it would be far better if it's done as your working.
