My six selected pieces of work-




This drawing was made in one hours time, creating a different drawing each five minutes of a found object. It's a large scale drawing, made on a piece of A2 paper with ink and a pallet knife. I chose to work with these tools and within this size because it gave me the freedom to draw the object with some movement and to create free flowing lines. If done again, I would use a wider variation of line thickness.


This drawing refers to the 'make a drawing out of 50 separate pieces of paper' chance card. The pieces are made from a sheet of paper I picked up for free in Piccadilly records on my travels around the city. I particularly like how the text and images combine to make a dynamic structure. Next time I would think more about cutting the pieces into shapes that interact better together.


'Make a drawing using 5 different pencils'- A simple approach perhaps however I wanted the drawing to come across as clean, aligned and fitting to the purpose of the brief. Perhaps if done again I would stretch the drawing across the whole page, although I think it creates more of a statement this way.


The drawing above refers to the chance card;'Make a drawing on a found or ready made object'. I chose a page of newspaper with little writing in order for the drawing to make more of an impact. The rectangles are made using a strip of masking tape and a variation of charcoals to create a mysterious, quite hazy piece that fits to its background. The main point of improvement would be to give it a tidier finish.


'Make a drawing which fills 5%, 25% or 85% of your paper', in this instance I chose to fill 25% of my paper with drawings of a found object, again using different charcoals on to tracing paper. I rather like the fact that its a design that could be transferred into a repeated pattern onto wallpaper, fabric, furniture etc. A point of criticism would be not to use such monotone colors, and to next time inject brighter colors.


 This drawing refers to the 'make a light drawing on a dark background' chance card. It's made by cutting strips of masking tape into thin pieces and use white ink to denote the negative space around them. I enjoyed this process and next time would like to stretch the idea by creating a larger scale piece.
