We were told that we had to enlarge the small, old fashioned image to an a4 size, and then work from it. When I arrived in class, we were each given an A3 sheet of paper, and told to just start making different patterns, or shapes from our original old fashioned image- this was quite overwhelming for me at the beginning, as I usually take my time to perfect my work however, this exercise allowed us all to think quick, and to just work from our instincts.
I began my composition by firstly drawing a woman onto the page, which I then copied twice more. Following this, I experimented using this gold paper, which you stick onto the page, and then tear off creating this unusual, faint effect.
I then began to draw in different images into my composition, such as these unusual eyes, which I accentuated using pencil and black pen- to make them stand out slightly more.
The composition as a whole still looked a bit plain, so I decided to draw in another figure into my drawing, and another face- but I also kept adding some more of this gold paper onto the image.
Lastly, I used some black chalk to really define the figures at the top of the image; as it looked quite plain before doing so.
In some ways todays session was very successful, as I experimented with different materials. I also think it was successful as I didn't really take too much of my time caring about making the image perfect, which is something that I always try to do in my work. However, I do think that I could have maybe experimented with collaborating some different materials a little more onto the composition.
