This semester started of with a steady drawing week. Well I say 'drawing week' it was more of a what the hell week! As we arrived on monday morning David came in with cardboard and willow, what the? We as a class were going to build a cube with this cardboard the size of the class room, lets just say the child inside us all, was screaming.So that was our day. and tadaaaa......
That just took us 2 hours to complete TEAM WORK! call the coffee break. Anyways then came the task of drawing this on an A0 sheet of paper, using all the techniques to get this in the right proportion or the whole image by the end of the week could be ruined and completely out of proportion.
DAY 1 Done!
Day 2 began with David coming in telling us that we were going to construct a graveyard out of cardboard and willow and paper and anything we could find around our wee painters studio and so the construction began and in 2 hours we had this!
Again for the rest of that day we had to put in everything we found appropriate to our image! I made a few of them gravestones :) and thats my wonderful moustache gate thing hanging that I brought in, we had our graveyard! and I had my drawing!
Now we knew from day one this project was all about not being afraid of changing environments in one image and merging drawing making the initial image change all the time, not being so precious with our drawings and embracing change of an environment, but i don't think any of us in our class expected our hard work to look like this on thursday when we turned up
This was really our final day to complete our drawing adding in the dramatic changes into our past image again not getting that precious with our work. Here is my end result then :)
We had a model come in and scare a few of my classmates as he was just lying there next to a real skeleton under gravestones in the underground segment of our graveyard habitat. I wanted to embrace the creepy-ness of the graveyard and make it quite mysterious and confusing for the viewer which is why theres a lot of floating gravestones and a powerful tree inside this magical box. This week was all about as well picking an interesting composition and picking and choosing. I went round the whole structure a couple of times to get information from the other sides to bring to my 'foreground' of the cube. Really enjoyable week and really pleased with the image i sneakily painted mine..... don't tell... well i painted the background i guess the rest is drawing in 'wet' media! And on friday we jumped on this thing tore it down and said bye to the painters graveyard in GB04. Semester 2 had officially started.
Thanks for reading
