Lesson 4 is all about variety. The first exercise was to make as many marks on a paper with no background, using crayons, ink, paint, cutouts etc. Now I have to go back and doodle more on some of the marks.
There were questions to ask oneself.
• How difficult was it not to repeat elements?
I found it quite difficult, I have to increase my library of mark making.
• Do any of your collections look like interesting compositions in themselves? Or do they all look disjointed?
Very disjointed
• Are they fun to look at?
Yes in a way
• Did you discover any new ways of making marks?
Yes
• Did you use processes or materials that felt uncomfortable to you?
No, not really. Tried pen and ink which was new for me.
• How difficult was it not to paint a background or connect the elements with some unifying principle?
Slightly uncomfortable.
Next part is to make three distinct marks and connect them in various ways!
I made 3 pages of marks!!! Click to enlarge!
Bye for now!
