I have used collage, ink and stick, ink wash and coloured paste to create these two pieces of experimental drawing. Having previously made a 3D paper sculpture of my initial object, an oil can, this drawing came from looking at the sculpture.

Looking at a candle holder, I used a variety of media to produce these pieces such as collage, tape, ink, wash, pastel and felt tip. I also used a variety of drawing techniques including blind drawing and continuous line drawing to create different effects. I found it beneficial to work on multiple pieces at a time because as I returned to each piece, I found different sections I could alter and improve to make the piece look more like my object.

These are a few more examples of sketchbook pages from when I was in the 3D design section of my Foundation course. I particularly enjoyed experimenting and making the smaller samples to see what was successful before making the larger pieces. Having time to experiment with the different materials really made me explore their potential and see the different shapes they could each create.

These are a couple of examples of pages from my sketchbooks. I like working in sketchbooks as I find it beneficial having all my work in one place which I can look through. Also, adding notation on what I think has worked successfully or not helps me define my own thoughts and makes it clearer for myself what I like and want to carry on experimenting with.

After creating the previous piece on paper, I printed it onto acetate to allow me to use it for photograms in the darkroom. By blocking sections of light with my hands I created the background pattern. I particularly like the range of shades made by covering different areas of the paper for different lengths of time.
