1st drawing workshop. 15 drawings in 2 hours, sounds easy but you lose track of time very quickly and the last few end up rushed. The 1st two drawings were of architecture, and the 2nd two hours were drawing from abstract words and sentences. I found the 2nd set of drawings very releasing because I had never heard of drawing from words as being a valid technique and has been a useful technique in this project.

The dog drawing project was ploughing through a number of techniques very quickly. These included negative space drawing, blind drawing, drawing at different speeds and different pressures. This was releasing to do so many drawings so quickly but it would've been nice to have been able to focus and get to grips with a couple of techniques rather than going through so many.

Taking the same idea I have, but pushing it to the extreme with scale. I love this piece on the wall, it has become part of the wall and seems to grow out of it.

Lucie Hallenstein

This again relates to my folded paper piece and is inspiring me to work bigger. i love how it drapes so that the top looks hard and sculptural and the bottom sways and looks more like fabric.

This relates to my 1 metre by 1 metre drawing because of the use of white paper onto a white surface. But these are perfect geometric patterns . I like the use of paper 'reverse appliqué' so is being sculpted into the paper rather than out of it.

This idea follows the same pattern as my first idea in 3D construct of depicting tendons, and creating a wearable completely relating to the body.

Iris Van Herpen

Escapism

I love how far the sculptural and intricate elements of Van Herpen's work has been stretched. Her work is inspirational to my project because it uses the idea of covering up the shape of some parts of the body and leaves other parts visible or at least highlighted. they also seem stiff, like they are only there to describe the form and to suggest shapes on the body without thinking how these would become practical garments.

Cut-out portraits.

This artist manages to relate my first two workshops together with the use of sharp edges and boxy shapes, and the hand processes technique, reverse appliqué. i love the idea of cutting away and working down to create 3D shapes rather than working up. This could be used well as a drawing technique because it is a bit flatter than the metre by metre drawing I have done yet still has a tactile element and hint of 3D which relates well to my project.
