I wonder how long I can keep that up?
Anyway. Good day today. Asked us to consider the questions 'Why draw?' and 'What is drawing?' (note, I've started pronouncing the 'w' in drawing like a fuckin' Jersey accent). Upshot being that we were set with Tasks. One: fill sketchbook with drawings of the object from week one, and two: flatten out the objects to form a kind of 3D to 2D drawing, and then use that as the basis of more drawings.

| Shapes flattened |
Using compressed charcoal and a couple of other materials (Graphite might have been one, I'll update when I remember), started off by taking rubbings of the flattened shapes. After seeing how the shapes fit on the paper, began to play around with making more complete pieces. Then some of us took the original shapes and had a play on the photocopier, which produced some new perspectives and opened up new avenues to explore.

The aim of the afternoon work was to reduce the pile down to 3-5 images (photocopies included). I kind of cheated as the photocopies had produced to images I wanted to chase up, so after working on the first for a while, I quickly pulled out a couple for the second image. So I ended up with two sets of images, each consisting of three images.
