After continuing with visual research all week in response to the "urban influences" brief a tutorial has definitely been inspiring in helping me know how to move forward this week.
When out on location in Manchester I did some surface rubbings. These are something that was mentioned in the tutorial as a success due to the nice quality of line and texture within them. I think that I will develop my drawings making use of these in collage, as something to work on top of and create structural line drawings out of, as this is where my interests lie.
In the drawings I've produced so far, I think that there is definitely room for improvement in terms of line quality, as the lines in my drawings so far are looking a bit "samey" which I know is down too lack of different medias whilst out on location. So I'll definitely be getting more experimental in terms of drawing tools this week as this will make a massive difference.
Colour is definitely something that I need to think about after this weeks work mostly being monochrome. I think that I will use my photographs for inspiration in terms of colour but also tones of colour. As a textiles student, I think that colour is somethig that I really need to play and expeirment with as it is so important.
Being inspired by mainly modern architecture makes me think that the colour could be quite complex and washy, due to the reflections and the changing of light in the glass that a lot of modern structures contain.
Daniel Liebeskend Drawings.
After visiting the Jewish Museum in Berlin over summer I have become really inspried by the work of this architect and I find his drawings really interesting. However, my drawings at the moment don't really contain the right properties of line and layers to reflect this inspiration and I think that by making the improvements I have already recognized that I need to make will definitely allow me to show this influence through my visual research.
