Unit 10; The Natural World: Sketchbook Development #2

2/10/16

The seconds set of 5 leaves, of the primary sketchbook were completed today:

A/B/C/D/E-. 1-7are drawings that have been developed from primary research. The drawings were completed using colour pencil, 9B graphite stick, bio and pencil,  These pieces were completed to examine line, shape and colour. The pieces that I feel were the most successful were 5 and 6-created using a chunky graphite stick and small areas of brio-I feel that these pieces were visibly pleasing and I thoroughly enjoyed the production/creation of them both. For the other five pieces, I feel that I could improve these by spending more time on each and adding more in terms of shading.

The 8th page and the right hand side of the last two pages are a series of primary photographs, taken form the Liverpool Museum, and are of a mixture of shells, fossils and skulls. I made this college to get me thinking about various elements of the natural world that I hadn't considered prior to the trip. This page was created by organising leftover primary research images-and applying it using a stick adhesive. The layout of this collaged page, is one that I am pleased with. The page feel energetic, busy and vivid. I could improve these two pages by collecting and adding more content. From these two pages, I have obtained a more varied understanding of the natural world.
