Pathway: Visual Communication

DRAWING & MEASUREMENT: To produce systems of measurement in observational drawing that lead to an ability to translate 3D Subjects into 2D Linear drawings.

MONDAY: We would like you to use the letter forms and stencils provided to look at line. Study the letter forms closely and begin to deconstruct them, start to see them as three-dimensional shapes, explore the curves, the straight lines and the angles that make up the letter forms. You may wish to photograph the letter forms at angles to change their shape and translate these images into drawings.

Record the lines using a combination of freehand drawings and by tracing around the letter forms. Consider the weights and qualities of the lines you draw by experimenting with the drawing media provided. Take the lines for a walk; join them up, over lap and layer them, building up a network and web of lines.

By using the coloured pencils, pens and papers supplied along with any of your own drawing materials, pick out and further explore the new and interesting shapes that have begun to appear from your initial experiments with line.

I thoroughly enjoyed this session of experimentation. Just by simply using small sections of the letter forms, i was able to create a completely new idea in terms of shape and form altogether. The colour shading also really shows the different shapes that evolved from a simple letter.




This piece that I produced really lends itself well to the concept of logo design and graphic design.
