I began to draw and develop my ideas. After researching some contextual artists for inspiration and direction in my project, I decided to try drawing with only line, like James Pegg. I really like the effect of this method of drawing.
I decided that I want to base my Data project on my time at University so far, particularly on the friendships that I have made so far. I want to some how portray each persons personality, through colour and symbols.
I have drawn a random face that I found on the internet, just to practice drawing with line.
I then separated the face into blocks, which worked really well, as you can still make out the portrait quite well.
From then, I used the blocks and separated them into thick lines. This is exactly the effect I was looking for. I'm not going to take photographs of my friends and use the same process. I'm slightly worried that they're not going to resemble my friends, and look similar.
Using my line drawing of the Manchester Art Gallery, I cut out the face, and wrapped it around a bulb. I really like the idea of the face reflecting on to a wall, making it more distorted and warped.
I will investigate any contextual artists using this technique, and try and apply it to my own work.
