I did a charcoal drawing from
this photograph and then I decided I wanted to do something interesting with
the photograph itself. I then had the idea of cutting out a circle and then
cutting it into smaller and smaller circles and to slightly rotate each one. I
did this and found I really liked doing this creative process and wanted to
continue it so I moved away from my figurative drawing to continue
experimenting in this style. I felt as though this experiment would perhaps
have been better on a larger scale and if there was not as much of a white
space between each circle.
This is a black and white
photocopy of the piece. I did this so I could see what it would look like if I
just focused on the tone. I feel as though I like it in black and white but I
also like the coloured version. Both pieces have different qualities to them,
it appears that the black and white composition stands out more however I also
like the subtlety of the movement in the coloured piece. The white gaps stand
out more in this piece because there is more contrast with the white underneath
and the darker tones in the image.
This is the charcoal drawing I
did of the photograph on the previous slide. I used compressed charcoal and
white chalk to create the contrast between the tones of the hair and the
shading of the face. Whilst I liked the drawing, I wasn’t entirely happy with
it the way it was and didn’t want to just leave it as a drawing so I decided to
cut it up in the same style as I did previously with the actual photograph.
Here is the finished piece of the
charcoal drawing combined with the paper-cutting. I thought that this
composition was really successful as the ‘illusion’ in the drawing is very
subtle as opposed to being very chaotic which I think worked really well.
