Task 1

This task was to create 100 simple shaped drawings in our sketch books of the sculpture we made in the shape-making workshop. When this task was set, I was finding it really hard to create simple shapes as it is such an open area and therefore easy to create patterns with the shapes and repeat them in a diverse way. I soon became bored of using pens and markers so I started using unusual materials to draw with, e.g. sellotape, masking tape, electrical tape, bright yellow string, sewing pins, wood sticks and coloured wire. I found that this was much more exciting and interesting because I was manipulating the materials to create different drawings. I also found that my drawing improved by using the manipulated materials.
