Drawing and Film Week 5.

This weeks group tutorial has helped me to recognise where I'm succeeding and not succeeding as well. The addition of colour in my drawings is working well as I introduced last week, but I'd still like the lines to be more considered and reflective of my Blackpool imagery- so I had the idea to print my Photoshop imagery onto acetate then use an overhead projector to get the imagery onto a large piece of paper to then work onto.

I think the clarity of line I got made possible from the projected acetates is definitely a success, and I really like the abstract look the oil pastel that I have used in these drawings pictured above has given. I'd like to experiment with different drawing media to get different qualities of line which I think will make my drawings more varied and interesting to look at.

This idea of cutting as drawing is working well alongside my drawings too, and I think when suspended at exhibition as I have pictured in my head, the way the viewer will be able to look through a drawing onto another one due to these cut out drawings will be really successful. This all relates to my theme of memories fading and blending into one, which I really want to get through in these drawings and installation.

  In terms of film, I still really like the way this documenting of my drawing processes is working, and I think that these will be nice to show parts of at the exhibitions show reel to support my drawings. I like the idea of the film showing me removing/cutting/tearing away parts of the drawing- reflecting these fading memories from the past.

Diana Al Hadid Drawings.

It was the drawings of fine artists Hadid's that caught my eye due to the complexities of the light and shadows with in them, but also how abstract they are. I like the way that in sections you can make out a structure or object, but in other parts nothing. I think this really relates too my theme, but also to the look of some of the drawings I have done, due to parts of them being clear and other parts not so much.
