Art Trip

On our journey to the art galleries we came across many abandoned place, one of which included and old rusted train track that had been put out of work and was now morbid and left on an also abandoned track that seamed to go on for a while. As well as this we also came across a graveyard which seamed to be placed on the only piece of land that had many grooves and hills, which seams rather ironic in the fact a place of death which never moves is placed on a piece of land that seams so alive and moving. Finally we came across numerous abandoned buildings in and around Birmingham, these building were rather condemned for having a very unsafe structure or simple abandoned and left behind to be consumed by overgrowth and graffiti.

Observational Drawings

Arts and words Observational drawing. For this drawing I used a typewriter for my main focus and did my main drawing in black biro ontol of old book pages for the background. This created an old and aged effect which links to my overall theme of abandoned.

The contrast of the background and black biro had an overall nice aesthetic

For my next peice I used a peice of paper with a diamonds cut out the middle to select a section of my object (shell) to focus on and draw I once again used bio for my main drawing which made my drawing bold on the background.

The background of my drawing was a collage of different rubbings on brown paper gathered from the church nearby as well as so various yellow ink markings. This peice was inspired the theme close up.

For my final piece I selected a part of a collection of rope to focus on and draw. This peice links with the theme of pattern and texture. I used biro on this peice as it alou me to experiment with different textures on the background.

For the background I used a collage of flower print wrapping paper and tracing paper. This tecnuique had a good result because it created a contrast of colours and textures.
