So this week has been very busy with my contextual project due on the 25th March, also in my main project on my course I've started to feel more comfortable with where my project is going. Last week I filled a few A3 sheets of paper with drawings for my mind but the twist was, I wasn't looking, I drawn whatever popped into my head, I did these in the car on the way home from Uni.My tutor thought it would be a good idea if I photocopied these markings and enlarged them, I found some interesting shapes and she suggested I should make them out of wire.
I also flattered some of the wire using a hammer and flat plate where the pencil gets blunt or I'm applying pressure. I really like the idea of this, I also got a book from the library called ''N3W RINGS by Nicolas Estrada.'' It's has some beautiful forms and ideas inside, very inspiring and reminds me of the standard of designers around.
Here I used a mixture of colours and did this sitting down on the ground with the TV in the background
and it took me 10 minutes.
(The Big Bang Theory to be exact)
This one took me 5 minutes with the same environment.
I created this one in 10 minutes and standing up with music on in the background. I only selected a few colours and I thought the black cancelled all the others so I picked yellow, green, red and blue. It was nice to see the lines overlapping and imagining it in a 3D form.
I'm finding this project challenging so far because I'm used to having control over my drawings and content in my sketchbook, this is very mind boggling and there's so many ways of expressing different sides of 'surrealism', it's very hard to minimize it down for a few month project. There's so many meanings to symbols and no one is right, it's interesting to hear what others think certain markings look like and seeing their perspective.
In other news.. I have been enjoying blowing bubbles in my room whilst it's raining outside :')
