Story LINE: Mark Making Project

CRIT

For this project, we did individual critics, where the artist wasn't allowed to present their art work. The idea was to see if the viewer understude the intention of the marks made, without being told anything about the work. The piece I made went over well. I was proud that a lot of people understood the feeling and word that I was going of with this piece. I enjoyed the critic mostly because of the creative input they came up with, not to just improve the concept and idea, but for other ways we could work out a project with our knowledge of pop culture.

Wash 2D: Gesture drawing practice

In WASH 2D today we practiced gesture drawing by using fingers, wrists, elbow, shoulder, and even our bodies to make one singe movement repeatedly while listening to a few pieces of music. It was very fun and very tiring. I found that using only my shoulder to make a repeatability moment was super difficult after a minute into it.
