Drawings (:

dear Xue ning, i am gonna randomly shared just a few of drawings to you. i have not finished taking all of them and it's a LOT!! haha. for the first few lessons we were introduced to do mark-makings, expressing your marks in different material,mostly dry and or ink (; 

As an artist,you also need to feel for yourself.PHYSICAL IMPACT + ATTACK ON PAPER)

sounds funny right (: 

Playing with positive and negative as well, drawing only the outline (contour line drawing) ,drawing with eyes closed, with two hands,with your memory, by looking only at the subject and not the paper AT ALL,drawing with both hands....explore a few weird ways and you will find them all interesting (:

the black black one on top we did it under spotlight, changing all the reflections of light to black, it was difficult at the beginning, Because the brighter it seems for the subject, the darker you have to make it in your drawing (:

 for the same bottles, we were asked to go against the traditional way of composition. The other three pieces are very weird, the whole big paper maybe there's only the cap of the bottle popping out from the bottom of the edge of drawing paper,THAT'S ALL !(: 

there's also one thing that we dont just sit far from still life, (still life can be anything around you,it's not something being purposely displayed in front of you).

We were encouraged to use our five senses when drawing, so you smell,you touch,feel,and express them in whatever ways, subjectively,objectively, or this want it called GESTURAL DRAWING -scribbling. 

(:

under spotlight too, this is "SHADOW CASTING". with charcoal and charcoal pencil.

this is done by soft pastel, i smudge it with my fingers (too smooth,some people thinks).

After taking photos from outdoor,we have to do a representational drawing,in A1 size.

(photo is blur ;( )

there's another one which we combine few things from different photos together again, but we have to have SELECTIVE FOCUS. 

Pastel+ charcoal

alright, this is real fun. before cutting this out, we have to draw in A1 size, considering the interlocking of space, overlapping, "push and pull" effects, contrast of tones,repetition, mark-making, texture,etc to complete the drawing(creating movements)...

then, you have to divide planes while drawing.

Finally cut them all out into pieces, "DARE TO DECONSTRUCT AND RECONSTRUCT",

,now it's based on your 心态 in contemporary composition，and your flexibility in looking at it. 

i have done a few attempts and this is my final decision. haha(: 

Lastly in pencil ,we have engine drawing. haha (: we took lots of photo from the car engine and we have to make one representational, and unlimited EXPERIMENTAL DRAWINGS on different disposed paper or cardboards,or wood you can find. using dry or wet materials, even prints, collage or whatever you can think off (:

well this is one of it, i printed out few pictures in black and white. before cutting them to stripes ,i used thiner to transfer the image to tracing paper,then i cut all the tracing paper to random shapes. for the picture, i cut them to stripes,mix them out, and combine each part to a different part. 

after sticking on the box, i used 8b pencil to draw some parts partially, then i sed bitumen to paint on top (:

this is the corner where i display my work for assessment and those you see in the picture are my different sizes of experimental drawing.

i even used white gesso spray and other materials.

show you one day (: 

thanks for your time <3
