sampling

I looked at some of the photographs I took when i went on a trip to the Manchester Art Gallery and wanted to develop some of them through drawing.  I found the ceiling very interesting and I was inspired by certain aspects of the pattern. I took what I liked from it and drew a design of it in my own way. I wanted the piece to have structure to it so I used a ruler for most of the drawing. I am happy with my outcome of my work and would like to develop this through different types of medium.

I have recently been inspired by the work of Nancy Grossmen. She relates her fine art work to her life and her feelings. Instead of doing a project on my feelings I want to represent my life at the moment. I realised I have been taking a lot of trains recently so I want to collect research data on trains. 

Dots

I wanted to keep within a colour theme through this task of dot drawings and I wanted to have a certain pattern and composition to my work. As I wasn’t there the week before I wasn’t able to use the drawing they did the week before for inspiration so instead I wanted to concentrate on a colour theme and patterns and lines. I used some recycled materials and one of which I think worked the most was a magazine paper I used as I was trying to keep the red and blue colours I feel that the magazine dot piece I created is one of my most successful. I felt this session was a benefit and would use this structure again using a hole punch and a drawing technique to help me develop my drawing. 

   

       

Sampling Data research

For the first week of sampling I wanted to show my collection of research through journey showing it visually though photographs. So I took to my advantage of visiting the Manchester art gallery along the way I took photographs as a collection of visual data. As I walked to the gallery and it was sunset I managed to capture the sky at its best managing to capture the beautiful colours of the sunset. I also took photographs of objects and surroundings that interested me along the way.

 

When entered Manchester Art Gallery what interested me was one room in particular called ‘Art for all: Ancoats in the nineteenth century’. The room was blacked out and it showed black and white images of the people in Manchester in the nineteenth century. What really interested me about the film of photographs what the music they played to the slides it gave a ghostly, sad atmosphere to the room.
