Drypoint

The drypoint session was one of my favourite workshops which we have done this semester, I adore how the final prints turned out. The process was fairly simple which I did not expect at first, it was quite easy to etch into the acrylic plates. I loved the fact that no matter how lightly you may have scratched the surface that mark is still going to show up. I drew my design in fineliner before tracing it over the acrylic. The etching process felt very similar to using a fineliner or biro therefore I was comfortable drawing in this process. During the printing process we had the option to leave ink on the plate or to wipe it off, in the figures you can see that i left it on to create various tones of shadow. However, I do wish i did a print where i did wipe the ink off to see clearly all the marks I made. I will definitely consider using this process again in the future. I am really happy with how they all turned out.

Knowing me, knowing you

Figure 1    Figure 2 Figure 3 Figure 4 Figure 5 Figure 6   While this task was initially a struggle for myself with the very quick observational drawings, I did end up enjoying the task overall. I am not overly happy with my results as during the task I struggled mentally with the very fast pace that we began with; I was simply not used to it and have always struggled with this challenge. I am hoping to get better with the quick pace and produce some work that I actually like. Figure 1 and Figure 3 are the two pages that I dislike the most, the entire composition and style does not feel like my own and I am not proud to call it mine. Moving on to figure 6, this was our last piece of the day and I quite enjoyed it, I chose charcoal so I could be a little more experimental and it helped me alot. I had alot of fun making that piece and believe it is the strongest of them all. If I were to do things differently I would choose different mediums such as a stronger ink or thicker pens to give

Screen Prints

Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 Figure 4 Figure 5 This screen printing workshop was very fun to attend and very simple due to my experience with screen printing during college. I really enjoyed experimenting with background patterns and colours. I will always enjoy screen printing and just wish I had the time to experiment with more things; and have the time to create more prints.

Life Drawing 1

Figure 1 While i am not thrilled with the outcomes I believe this sheet is very effective in terms of experimentation and mark making. The last two in pen and ink I believe are the strongest. Figure 2 This piece was the first one I drew during the session. I am not happy with it but at the same time I am as it shows the begining of my life drawing journey. Thus being able to compare it later on to see if there have been any improvements. One thing I would like to note is that I belive my marks are very stiff and I needed to be more free with them. Figure 3 While I do not like the two drawings on the very left of the page, I believe that this sheet is once again strong in regards of markmaking. The other three images are strong to show a variety of marks and how they can be used. Figure 4 This sheet may be my favourite out of the five, due to the fact I believe it showcases markmaking and experimentation. I am really happy with how this one turned out and it is already a huge improvemen
