This week man-made, functional, metal objects were the subject - in contrast to last week's natural forms - after looking at Futurism examples highlighting modern life, speed and technology. plus two by Richard... We shared around various rocks, stones etc and looked at the idea of natural forms in contrast to other manmade subjects recently. The unique texture of each one was explored with rubbings. The drawings were then grouped together to emphasise the differences.
We looked at stage designs from the 30s and Picasso's costume designs for ballets such as Diaghilev's 'Parade.' Then did drawings from vertical structures of cardboard boxes etc, using imagination to hint at figures or 'personages.'
