Chance Cards

Extending the "Map the City" task. 

Drawing onto folded/crumpled paper.
Taking inspiration from an old sieve,  I punched holes into paper and used as a stencil. I used a hole punch to add texture to the paper and then took the circles and applied elsewhere to create patterns. To add a 3D element to this I passed string through and secured with knots, I also included bubble wrap. Utilising all materials I decided to create patterns with either side of a graphite stick, this was effective as it produced various tonal ranges.

Making a drawing from dust.
Taking inspiration from old crockery.
Piercing holes into paper and carefully dusting over with graphite shavings and a paintbrush to create interesting textures and compositions.

 Making a drawing using Indian Ink and different sized brushes.
Define "Brushes"?
Here I used bubble wrap dipped into Indian Ink and printed onto hand-made paper. Using staples to secure the layers together. This replicates a metal air vent.

A light drawing onto a dark background.

Using an old leaflet I decided to print bubble wrap on top using Gouache.

I also added bubble wrap as a 3D element for texture and surface.

The pattern was taken as inspiration from a photograph on part of a building.

 

Drawing onto layered sheets of transparent paper.

Drawing a continuous line of part of the old Art and Design building and layering with transparent papers, adding detail to each layer to make it look 3D. Secured together the layers with staples. Not a successful drawing but I enjoyed experimenting.

Drawing onto a found object.

Collecting a Newspaper and a few leaflets to compose together as a collage background.

Then later making stamps of logos and various typography within the city to print with.

Make a drawing from Shadows.

I took inspiration from the new Art School, using the reflections within the buildings windows and the shadows the building created  on the floor. This was then turned into a composition and drawn using print techniques and mixed media devices.
