Week 27


Week 27
1st February  - 5th February


The last week before the deadline line has been busy, I finished my last thread drawing. I used thicker, and thinner threads to try and and experiment with texture and line weight. I prefer the thicker threads but not the one that I used. Upon reflection on my work I now know which thickness of threads I prefer to work with again some I will not be using again. The thinner the thread the easier to manipulate which allows for more detail.
I have really tired to test out all of my ideas before the deadline. This week I have tried to make a glue drawing where I draw using thread in wet PVA glue and once its dry I cover in in another layer and draw onto of the previous layer until it builds up enough that it’s a free formed glue drawing that I can hang, even though I never did test out my hanging theory. I liked the end result but took me a long time to peel off the acetate and in some areas that glue stretched and distorted the drawing.  I would doing this method again but be careful on what material I drew on as the stretch out a drawing is not ideal. This week I have also started a bigger piece for the vertical gallery. I wanted to experiment with scale of my drawings as its far more of a visual impact. I really enjoyed drawing it and making the drawing at that scale, I’m really happy with how it came out and I will definitely experiment with colour in Unit X, I will hopefully have a series of drawing in size and colour.
