Drawing





We took numerous small items and used them to create a sort of collage. I like drawing a lot so I was really excited for this. I took a paperclip, pin, tweezers, and a key and enlarged them on a piece of paper. The trick however was we couldn't look at the paper as we drew the item which was difficult because you had to think of size and how far to go the whole time. Each item needed to touch two edges. I started out by drawing my tweezers and worked everything around it. It was hard to add things in and enlarge them because the size of one item compared to another was quite off. After we drew in all of our items we had to mark the spots that were negative spaces. I didn't have a lot of large spaces. The next thing we had to do was come up with a different pencil technique to use in each negative space. I used a lot of different techniques. One area I did all lines and in another I did shading and lines through it, I used more techniques which you can see in the picture. It was hard to come up with techniques because I constantly wanted to put just lines I had to think of different ideas by looking around my room, outside, or other random places that could give me inspiration.
I am pleased with my end result.
