Everyone then experimented with ways of creating tone, and therefore form, using line only: cross hatching, loose scribbling, contour lines around the form, rectangular connecting lines - some with wax resist. These were then used to create sculptural forms from a selection of stones and bones.
We looked at Moore's drawings of figures in underground shelters, stones, bones and sheep, and saw how he progressed on to the final sculptures. Everyone then experimented with ways of creating tone, and therefore form, using line only: cross hatching, loose scribbling, contour lines around the form, rectangular connecting lines - some with wax resist. These were then used to create sculptural forms from a selection of stones and bones. The aim was to use these constructions as starting points that 'suggest' figures without being too literal. Two drawings each. The first drawing was responding to specific instructions like 'block in three shapes', 'draw with four bold lines of charcoal and smudge them', and 'sick on two bits of coloured paper shapes'... The second drawing was to respond to the structures in any way one wished... work in progress... |
