Drawing Week 1: Drawing with Kathy

To commence our first drawing week, we began by drawing our objects from our box clever collection in many different ways, as instructed by Kathy. We looked at silhouettes, outlines and line quality. The exercises also made us consider how you would apply a word to a drawing, for example, how you would reflect the word 'itchy' in a drawing - mine was quite jagged and quick in the way the marks were made.

We then created hybrid drawings using a combination of drawing techniques from the various exercises. I think these were most my successful since they were full of character and personality, and I liked the addition of colour.

As the first drawing session, I found it eased me back into drawing. It was fun, expressive and not too intense and I think the results were unique and had their own individual qualities which were successful.

This is a selection of some of the drawings...
