| This was drawing with a real wire line, not just the convention of a line we use in drawing on paper. Everyone made a wire sculpture, then did drawings of it - aiming to use the unique qualities caused by the bending, twisting and joining. Sometimes it's difficult to tell the drawings and wire sculptures apart! |
These are the drawings... Typefaces or fonts were the subject here, so we were drawing the most familiar shapes we see every day. We looked at a huge range of designed typefaces, experimented with our own versions using all the drawing skills we could think of and came up with some full sheets based on these ideas. Water was the medium here, looking at how it interacts with other substances. First we did lots of experiments with a wide range of materials from charcoal and pastel to ink, watercolour pencil and wax crayon onto wet paper, then the reverse using the same same materials and applying water to the paper. And then on different types of paper. Finally, drawings of some simple household objects using these ideas. |
