Music Experiment

Size: A5 x 2

Mika - Grace Kelly

   

Sonata Arctica - White Pearl, Black Ocean

Findings:    I cleared my mind and instinctively used media that I felt reflected the style of music. The two songs contrasted each other in a multiple of ways, such as volume, beat and the types of instruments used, so I predicted that the pieces would look dramatically different from each other. However, despite the obvious differences, both pieces still seemed similar in that they appeared chaotic. I think I will try and incorporate an unpredictable theme to my work later on as the charcoal piece in particular was very pleasing to the eye.

Doodling

Size: A2 + A3

Findings:     I experimented with various medias and then applied some of them to describe some dreams that I have had. The charcoal on its side was very powerful and useful for dragging a straight, thick line, filling in the shadow of a building. I also enjoyed using the soft pastels to describe the subtlety of the calm water in my dream.

Project: Making Marks

Size: A3

Findings:        - Dangled HB pencil = light marks, unpredictable

                    - Held at the tip HB = deep, sharp, limited span

                    - HB, sweeping motion pivoting at the elbow = soft marks

                    - Tip pressure with fine liner 005 = poor result

                    - Tip pressure with fine liner 08 = powerful

                    - HB, flat with thumb on top = controlled, limited span

Heylo...
