Sketch book

Feedback

In my group tutorials I was given some really good feedback and advice about how I could improve my work. They have helped me realise what I needed to do, experiment more. My peers said I have a good talent for drawing with other materials, not just pens and pencils. They also suggested that I should create bigger installations outside of my sketch book. I was able to come up with multiple ideas about where I could see my work. I just have to be braver!

Artist research

When I search for artists, I look for artists that use a range of different media and materials. I tend to use Tumblr for a lot of my research because I am always looking for new ways of working. Once I have found an artists that I like, I research into them more to see what other materials they use. Another method I like to use, is to find an artist who really inspires me and use every day materials to create something similar to what they have done, but in my own way. Then I collect all of my ideas together and put them into my sketch book. Some of the artist I really enjoyed researching were Anya Gallaccio, Red on Green: the life and death of 10,000 roses, MyeongBeom Kim , Nick Croft and Michaela MacLeod - Pink Punch Amie Dicke.

Manipulation

Working with collage made me think more about what other materials I could use. The materials I chose to manipulate we colour plastic bags.

Drawing Day

I enjoyed ‘drawing day’ because I was able to manipulate paper. However before I could manipulate the paper, I can to print and colour it beforehand. I used neon paints and patterns on my paper, before I manipulated them into the shoes. Within this ‘drawing day’ I was more concerned about how I manipulated them. This makes me reflect on my past workshops where I have wanted to carry on manipulating paper and other materials. Also this has made me think of other things I could create and relate things to.
