I enjoyed that we could blend techniques from sculpture into drawing as 3d is where i feel most comfortable. it allowed me to more thoroughly consider the composition of my drawings and explore what perspectives look interesting. using materials like wire and paper to create a 3d drawing allowed to to question what is and isn’t classed as a drawing.
– i felt incorporating my drawings into the environment allowed me to look a the subject differently- finding lines/drawings created with the branches that were already there.
– the contrast between man made and natural objects is something i will continue to explore, i like the structured shapes of man made subjects and the organic, unpredictable lines of natural ones.
– in these works i specifically like the graphite sticks effect, the rough scratchy shading gives some interesting texture and mimics the feel of shadows well.
– i want to avoid being so literal with the drawings- focussing on what the medium can provide itself will help distract me from trying to replicate what i see.

CRIT ADVICE
-its important that i let myself make mistakes and be more explorative in the earlier stages of drawings.
– keep exploring whether something is finished or not, avoid over working and allow myself to stop before everything i see is in the drawing.
– play around with recomposing shapes and focus on negative space.
– continue folded paper work and look at how sculpture can create line with its shadows.
