2D Visual

The aim of the 2D visual project was to broaden the way we thought about and approached drawing. We used a wide range of materials such as ink, graphite, marker pen, pencil, collage and paint.
 A model of a jelly shoe made out of drawings done with a stick and ink.
A drawing and collage of the model jelly shoe. Using black and brown ink and a stick to do the first drawing, then using collage, masking take and white emulsion to take areas out and redraw them.
Using natural forms and man made objects as part of a suspended still life.

 I started off using white cartridge paper and brown ink to map out where the main objects were going to be, then put in the darker ink over to top to redraw the areas which weren't quite right the first time. The brown paper was added to form the negative space around the objects. It took quite a few attempts to get the skull in proportion so I had to keep taking out areas using collage and emulsion paint. By the end of the session I felt that I had produced a successful piece of work. I especially like how the brown paper pushes the shape of the skull forward and makes it look like it's infront of the other objects.
