Observational drawing and Mark-making project evaluation
What drawing and mark-making
techniques have you learnt about in this project? Are any techniques new to
you?
This project
we learnt techniques such as, shading, cross hatching, dotting, taking back out
with a rubber, different depth line drawings. From these techniques dotting and
cross hatching are new to me. I am pleased I learnt these techniques as they
are more interesting that just tonal shading.
How did you use and apply media to
explore drawing and mark- making techniques?
We used
different surfaces such as newspaper and parcel, coloured inks, acrylic and
brusho ink. We used coloured pencil to draw over the top of the collage,
coloured inks and acrylic, I found the acrylic quite hard because it was lumpy
and bumpy and hard to colour neatly, i didn't like the effect. I enjoyed
the collage because it looked really effective with writing and different
coloured papers to draw on top of, it was quite hard to see what you were
drawing sometimes but it looked good in the end. I haven’t used bleach on brusho
inks yet but I believe it will be quite hard to do, but will look really
effective in the end.
How effective do you think each of
your 4 studies on different backgrounds has been?
I think they
have been really effective. I especially liked drawing on different textures. In
my opinion I think the collage is the most effective because it has different
textures and different coloured papers, I also like the writing and musical
notes behind the coloured pencil drawing. It gives it a fuller effect than what
it would of the drawing was alone, also how the pencil changes over different
papers, it’s like a jigsaw puzzle. The coloured inks give my drawing a softer
effect to it; I like how you can still see some of the ink behind the colours
so it’s almost a transparent look. I don’t really like the effect of the
acrylic because it looks messy, the colouring isn’t neat and the lines are
wobbly. I think that the mark-making with bleach on brusho inks will look
really effective because you are taking out colour instead of adding it.
What is effective about your sgraffito
drawing?
I haven’t don’t
my sgraffito yet but when it is don’t I think it will be effective because we
are scratching back to the colours underneath and they will really stand out
against the black.
How successful do you think your
homework studies are? Did you spend enough time on them?
I think I
spent a decent amount of time on my homework, but I know I have a lot more to
learn so there is room for improvement. I think my homework is quite successful,
with a bit more practice I know it can be better.
Do you feel you have improved your
observational drawing skills? How?
I feel I
have improved on my observational
drawings as now I know how to look at things and add shading and highlights in
the correct places to make them 3dimentional, I add different shades of colour to
give the objects depth as they are not a block colour. I have learnt about
scale and to use different led’s when shading. Also it is important to look at
the light and the shadows.
How well did you manage your time
throughout this project?
I think I
have managed my time well, I focus on my work in class and what I don’t finish I
take home. I spent reasonable amounts of time on my homework to get it to the
best I can do. I hand all my work in on time meeting deadlines.
Do you feel you have produced the best drawing and mark-making outcomes possible within
the time frame?
I do believe
that all my work is to the best standard I am capable of at the moment, apart from
my first observational drawing that I couldn’t get right but I have progressed
and developed my drawing skills from then.
Are there any other drawings or mark
making techniques you’d like to explore?
I would like
to explore the art of scumbling as it looks interesting and an easy way to
create an effective piece of art.
Discuss your overall thoughts on the
project.
Overall I have really enjoyed this project;
I enjoyed learning new things and discovering different techniques of drawing
and mark-making. I feel that my drawing skills have improved a lot from the
beginning so now I have a wider range of skills and techniques to put into further projects. I am proud of myself for trying new things and enjoying them.
