Joy and Surprise: Recording Expressions and Adding Intent

Working in a group of four, we were set the task of collecting gestural expressions of joy and surprise using line drawings. They had to be full figure gesture which included body movement, facial expressions and surroundings.

After collecting the drawings we had to then use them for our own intent. I decided that I wanted to create illustrations of nonsense, maybe embedded with contextual of theme of going/looking/having breakfast. 

Moving through Space

Brief: Figure moving through space.

Voyer approach using both birds eye view and below views in perspective. 

Personal notes after initial sketchs: I need draws of interior space to set all the figures in context. (eg. Full view of the refractory, pathways and more doors)  

Christmas Project

Christmas Project brief with the theme of "Christmas Shopping."

While doing my experiments I realised I didn't have enough drawn information for scenes and the ones I did have, since they were large drawing they took more time to complete. With my figure I had the intention of capturing gesture, expression and movement, which I feel I accomplished.

Experiment Sketches

Really rough sketches at the Shungo Exhibition at the British Museum in London with my sister, trying to capture the use of line and drawing the images that I personally liked. 

At the airport to go home to Cayman for the Christmas.

Continuing the Christmas Project brief at home with the theme of at te beach. Observational drawing of figures in action and developing figure drawings. What I would improve on is capturing figures moving  using various mark making, drew more scene sketches to improve my experiment sketches.
