I don't like tight controlled pieces of work when I see them produced by other artists but in my own work I was unable to break free of the need to be neat and accurate. Left to my own devices I was making drawings like the dog and cat pictures for Part 5, Project 3 <i>A finer focus.</i><br />

The feather drawings for Assignment 2 allowed me to make a picture that was visually pleasing to me but contained random marks because, even with practice, the feathers had a tendency to do their own thing.</div>

Drawing from a distance for Part 3 Project 2 meant that I had to work the wobbliness of my lines into my finished drawings.</div>

This drawing influenced the way my parallel project progressed. Is it more of a study than a finished piece? In the past I would have said yes but contemporary artists such as <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2009/may/25/tracey-emin-drawing-art"><span id="goog_149679652"></span>Tracey Emin<span id="goog_149679653"></span></a> don't make highly finished work, and those that do, such as George Shaw make pictures that are still and lifeless, even if there is the tension that something may be about to happen.</div>

The skate drawings for Part 3 Project 3 removed control because I was using the lines created incidentally by something that wasn't a traditional drawing implement, also the resultant lines were abstract so there was no expectation that they would represent anything but themselves.</div>

I feel that when I got to Part 5 I had got into my stride and started to make work that feels authentic. In the past I have felt that my coursework is not genuinely my work. Project 1 <i>A changing scene</i> led to some drawings which I would be happy to display and gave me techniques that work for making drawings outside of the demands of the course, I drew runners in a half marathon and people at the Tate in the same style.</div>

Project 4, <i>Time and the viewer</i> led me to make the hagiographs, something completely different to anything I have done before. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I enjoyed combining practical making with the unexpected way that the cut paper behaves when the hagiograph is turned. I made plans to film the machines working, but subsequently decided that the whole point of them is that the turning of the handles controls the passage of time, the viewer/operator can move quickly or slowly. I hope that they can survive the journey to Barnsley and turning by the assessors.... </div>

It is the development of an idea that I have been carrying with me for some time and, on the face of it a controlled, detailed drawing. Until now I have been unable to make the idea for the drawing work and this has been because I couldn't cope with less than perfect drawings of the flowers. I have realised that the errors that I see don't matter. The drawing is about the uniqueness and imperfections of the flowers as they bloom and fade. I want you to study them for their faults and differences and enjoy them for what is "wrong" about them. I have wrestled with concepts of colour for this piece and ultimately left the drawing in black and white, I think that the addition of colour in the test pieces is a distraction. The drawing is about the equal beauty of the flowers whether they are buds, or in their last stages of life. When I have time I would like to repeat the drawing on a smaller scale and either add colour from the start or make myself add colour and see what develops, but my recent experiments have led to too many overworked drawings.</div>

He employs a variety of styles from loose diagrammatic drawings (Taxonomy of Drawings, The drawn history of painting) abstract drawings (Drawing the atlantic) and rough childlike drawings (HMS Victory) I think that the best drawings on his website are A man reading a newspaper which were influenced by <a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/482471">Jean Helion</a>'s painting <a href="http://www.artcritical.com/2005/07/01/jean-helion/">The big daily read</a>. They look as though they have been done from life and are full of energy created by the loose scribbled lines and bold use of charcoal. As a professor of drawing he has written extensively on the subject.<br />
<br />
My research led me to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZBYJM659rU">this</a> video lecture in which he draws drawing and discusses what it is. His definition of drawing is ; "<i>a 2 dimensional representation of multi dimensional events</i>".<br />
Until I watched the video I did't understand the diagrammatic drawings on his website. I like the way that he includes maps and writing in his classification of drawing. I believe that if you can write you can draw, its a skill you can learn if you are sufficiently motivated to practice. He also says that the judgement of whether a drawing is good it whether it conveys what it set out to, not whether it is aesthetically pleasing. On this basis a map is an excellent drawing and the drawings of drawing are better than the man reading a newspaper. My judgement is swayed but what is aesthetically pleasing which is probably why my primary interest is in illustration.<br />

<a href="http://www.kellychorpening.com/">Kelly Chorpening</a> works in 2 and 3 dimensions. Her statement talks about works that focus on the unseen back of a painting and her 3 dimensional work is <a href="http://www.kellychorpening.com/3D.php#media/3D/4.Tried.jpg">flat pieces peeled off the wall.</a> Her older works are reminiscent of <a href="http://www.kellychorpening.com/archive.php#media/archive/alphabet_city2001.jpg">complex cityscapes</a>, <a href="http://www.kellychorpening.com/archive.php#media/archive/painting_space2009.jpg">interiors</a>, and <a href="http://www.kellychorpening.com/archive.php#media/archive/marcos_vision2004.jpg">scaffolding</a>. She also has some great, restrained, <a href="http://www.kellychorpening.com/archive.php#media/archive/unpronounceable2008.jpg">text based work</a> which becomes more lively when <a href="http://www.kellychorpening.com/archive.php#media/archive/drawing_residency2009_1.jpg">projected onto a wall </a>creating layers of image.

I'm not old enough to remember his work but it has a lovely familiar feel so I guess I must have seen it when I was a child. <a href="https://levergallery.com/">The Lever Gallery </a>is dedicated to showing illustration and when I visited it was being manned but a very chatty man who told me loads about the process of creating artwork in the 1960's.<br />
The figures in the drawings are realistic but loosely executed, Sanders used a confident flowing line to draw. The backgrounds are realistic but he isn't afraid to make buildings lean or have his people at an angle to make the pictures dynamic. The exhibition focused on his commercial work from the 1960's and reportage art made for the Stanley Kubrick film 2001: A Space Odyssey. The original work for Kubrick has been lost so this part of the display was of prints made from photos of the works. I was fascinated by the way he had painted the space suits which looked as though they reflected the light. The bubble and streak technique which was very popular in the 1960's was an attempt to recreate the effects of acrylic paint which was available in the states but not here. It makes paintings look as though they have been stitched and must have been incredibly difficult to handle without making them look muddy. They represent a world where illustrations were much more common in magazines. Sadly many of the originals were never returned to the artist and either got thrown away or were taken by magazine staff.<br />
<br />
I also went to the degree show at the University of Hertfordshire - just about. Its always quite difficult to work out when it is but this year I had a tip off from another OCA student. The problem was that it was only open for a few weekdays between 10 and 4 which is when I'm at work. Apparently you could apply for tickets to the private view which was a Tuesday evening but I wasn't aware of that and it was too late. Luckily a very nice staff member let me in to the illustration room for a quick peek although as she was about to finish work it was hardly relaxed viewing. The work was well executed and presented but there seemed to be a very strong house style which I found a bit disappointing. I expected a degree show to be much more experimental. I post this because I felt that as a distance learning student I have a much better deal. I can look at what is produced by my fellow students but its influence is no greater than the influence I gain from other established artists so I am in a better position to create more individual work. Also, should I make it that far, because I'm an independent student I can (and will) choose the venue and times of my degree show to suit the viewing public.<br />
<br />
The RCA degree show was in another league. I didn't understand a lot of the work which included work for the MA in Information Experience Design. In the past I have found that the only way to understand design is to ask the designer to explain their work me but on this occasion I was short of time. I watched some lovely videos form the MA in Animation. There was a lot of stop motion work with models and an interesting piece about children mining cobalt which makes me feel a bit guilty about my art materials, I need to do some research. Short animations are a good way to tell unpalatable stories.<br />
<br />
Charcoal drawings by <a href="https://www.rca.ac.uk/students/latifah-al-said/">Latifah Al-Said </a>stood out. Her displayed work was about human slavery and was both thought provoking and hauntingly beautiful. The RCA building has three staircases which does seem a bit excessive. She had drawings and lettering on the steps of one of these. I wish that I had taken a photo. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BVX7kR9jsv0/?taken-by=latifah_alsaidart">Here</a> is her instagram photo of the work in progress<br />

This was great. Big bold drawings of big characters. The punks particularly leapt off the pages so lively. I hadn't heard of Jo Brocklehurst before but I've enjoyed previous exhibitions at the House of Illustration and I was reminded in time to visit by an interview with Isabelle Bricknell by Robert Elms on Radio London.<br />
<br />
The figures took up all of the paper but there was rarely any background, seated figures with nothing to sit on except each other - many of the subjects were couples drawn together. The works are on fairly thin cheap paper, mainly in pastel with ink and metallic or fluorescent paint in a supporting role. There were touches of collage and hand drawn lettering. Her lines were sweeping, bold and confident. Apparently she wasn't interested in capturing beauty so she was free to draw pouting lips and dead limpid eyes but somehow they still looked beautiful to me. The hands were slightly oversized and knobbly drawn with confidence. The drawings are lively and energetic because she drew rapidly even when there was time available. The lines were often in orange, blue or red, or latterly in fluorescent colours. She drew live in darkened nightclubs whilst wearing dark glasses so I guess whilst she was making them the colour was irrelevant and it was the shapes that she was concentrating on.<br />
<br />
Information about the exhibition at <a href="http://www.houseofillustration.org.uk/whats-on/current-future-events/jo-brocklehurst-nobodies-and-somebodies/">House of llustration</a> Some images <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/gallery/2017/feb/03/jo-brocklehurst-fetish-club-art-house-of-illustration">here</a> and Vice tells you more about her as a person <a href="https://www.vice.com/en_uk/article/jo-brocklehurst-anarcho-punk-artist-284">here</a>. She was taught by <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/9255126/Elizabeth-Suter.html">Elizabeth Suter</a> who also did some brilliant figures of women.<br />
<br />
There was also a <a href="http://www.houseofillustration.org.uk/whats-on/current-future-events/linda-kitson-drawings-and-projects">small selection of drawings</a> by <a href="http://www.studiointernational.com/index.php/linda-kitson-interview-drawings-and-projects-house-of-illustration-london">Linda Kitson</a> which are so much nicer in real life than I could have imagined from the online photos.<br />

A long time ago I had a plan to draw daffodils every day from bud to the end. I've always been fascinated by the shapes that flowers go through as they die off, I usually keep cut flowers in a vase long after a normal person would have thrown them out.<br />

Growing daffodils appear in a haphazard arrangement, not neatly lined up. Whilst daffodils flower in the spring, if you buy cut flowers you control the beginning and the end of the cycle, we are playing with time. The drawing evolved over a week, the first bunch of flowers were starting to die off so I bought a second bunch and drew from them simultaneously so that I could mix the stages of the flowers together on the same page. Is this a cheat? If I had just relied on a single group of flowers all at the same stage I would have been unable to mix them up. The shapes of the flowers evolved as the drawing progressed over time. I started close to the middle of the page and randomly worked my way outwards to mix everything up a bit more. </div>
This drawing is about the clash between the natural and the artificial. I was influenced by <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/08/arts/design/ellsworth-kellys-plant-drawings-at-the-met.html">Elsworth Kelly's wonderful plant drawings</a> and by the detailed drawings of weeds by <a href="http://jacquesnimki.com/page5.htm">Jacques Nimki</a> who was recommended to me by my tutor.<br />
The original plan was to add colour but I really like the picture as it is. I posted the picture in the Critique section of the forum for advice. The opinion was mostly for leaving it as it is. I was surprised at how strongly many of the respondents reacted against the colour yellow as to me the brightness of yellow daffodils is a welcome change from the dull colours of winter. Because it took so long to draw I've become a bit precious with the drawing which I know is unhealthy. To get round this I photocopied part of the picture (it's A2 and I only have an A3 scanner so it had to be a sample) and played with colour on the scan both with Photoshop.<br />

I'm interested in the shapes of the dying flowers and one of the replies in the critique suggested that I just coloured the dying flowers. This does present a bit of a problem in that it's not always clear when this point is reached and which flowers I should include. Here, using Photoshop, I singled out just one flower but on reflection it's important to me that they are all given equal attention. </div>

resonated with me or whether this has been the point when it all started
to click. The projects that I have completed feel more honest in that I have
been able to respond to the brief and experiment whilst producing work that feels

the least inspiring project to me when I read through the brief but it has
generated so many parallel ideas I wish that I had time to develop all of them thoroughly,
although I am very happy to take a short break from drawing daffodils. It was
the first time that I have posted anything on the Critique forum and I was surprised
at how the comments helped to clarify my view of the work and see what I wanted
to represent with it. With the help of these comments I feel that I have made a
piece of work that has more depth and meaning than I have done before.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

moving crowds which I have been working on for years. Capturing people,
particularly in motion is a recurrent theme in my personal sketchbook work.
Artists books are a new area for me and I would like to do more projects like
this, particularly working over existing texts which sparked ideas to pursue.
When making my artists book I didn’t consider the Edge group of students who
made the work that I was subverting. One of the students has subsequently been
in touch and the project was shared with them. Their reaction was fortunately
positive and I hope to come up with an idea of my own for the next issue so
that someone else can give me a taste of my own medicine! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

challenging, this is the sort of work that I have been making at home for

subversive with the subject matter. It did however show me how much more confident
my mark making has become, an enjoyable meditative exercise for all that. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

illustration and so many of the projects in Part 5 can be interpreted in an

moment that I saw the description of the course but it hasn’t been anything
like what I expected. There is a lot of mixed media which suits me as I don’t
like my ideas and options being limited by the tools and materials that I am
using. It has taught me to think differently and really experiment with ideas
and push them away from their source. I like the way that the course is so open
to interpretation, is this because it’s a level 2 course? Although the course
was different to what I expected I have thoroughly enjoyed it. I’m on the
Visual Communication pathway and I’m looking forward to Illustration 2. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;">I prefer Auerbach's drawings to his paintings, but maybe that is because I saw them at the British Library Study visit last year. It is so much easier to appreciate a picture in real life. I like the feel of the face being carved out of the charcoal marks. Both his paintings and drawings are busy but coherent. They are </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: inherit;">paintings to study, to stop and consider. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: inherit;">His work is about charting the small changes over time of a select group of subjects whether they are people or the streets of his home in North London. They reflect time shifting slowly, the pictures aren't purely figurative representations but they seek to capture the subtle changes that occur as they are being made. Even a still life evolves over the day as the light changes. They have to be made from life to really capture the time as it evolves. A painting or a drawing from a photograph is just a copy of that moment in time, frozen and static. Although it is possible to use photographs for reference they are like working in a single hard pencil instead of having a whole array of art material to give texture and colour to the image. In time there is shape, colour, texture, temperature, movement, smells and interruptions. You can choose to ignore these distractions, but if you do you may as well take a photo. A picture made over time can integrate all the senses.</span>Cal Hoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15298612229115819096noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4319256230835183964.post-56907780510326082462017-03-20T13:57:00.002+00:002017-06-18T21:17:02.174+01:00Project 4 - Time and the viewerThe brief says "Make a drawing that forces the viewer to use time differently" I'm still in Artists Book mode and I was interested in how something like a flip book could change the viewers relationship with time in that they control the speed of movement. I found <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/11/26/flipbookit_n_6215300.html">this</a> variation on a flip book in The Huffington Post. Stephen Walter uses a <a href="http://otherfabrications.com/hagioscope/">hagioscope</a> to slow the way viewers examine his <a href="http://www.tagfinearts.com/media/The_Visitors_Guide_To_Nova_Utopia.pdf">Nova Utopia map</a>.

<u>Reflection</u><br />
What is drawing without time? Even snapshot sketches require an investment in time to make them and to develop the skill to quickly communicate an idea without lots of preparation. Most drawings take quite a bit longer to produce and can only successfully communicate with the viewer if they are prepared to invest some time in looking at them. Microsoft published some (<a href="https://www.geneticliteracyproject.org/2016/07/25/another-modern-myth-shrinking-attention-spans/">maybe discredited?</a>) research that <a href="http://www.iflscience.com/brain/do-you-have-lower-attention-span-goldfish/">attention spans are decreasing. </a> Whether the research is accurate or not, what is clear is that we are constantly bombarded with images and information and it is a challenge for visual communicators to make their information stand out and seize the time to get a message or concept across. My response to this project has an element of gimmick to it. The viewer needs to stop and actively engage in the process of revealing the drawing. The definition of a "successful" artwork must in some way be whether it can persuade the viewer to spend some time with it. Eye catching or complex pieces may achieve this, but how do you get someone to linger with a simple drawing such as <a href="http://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-st-ives/exhibition/ellsworth-kelly-st-ives/ellsworth-kelly-drawn-nature">Ellsworth Kelly</a>'s <a href="http://www.artnet.com/artists/ellsworth-kelly/plant-drawings-a-WiZsRiobzp-Lvb5JwtmEaQ2">Plant Drawings</a>? There has to be some sort of resonance with the image to persuade the viewer to invest their time.<br />

I think it is the colours, the blues are reminiscent of bruises or distorted veins. The nipples are seen so closely I fear that they are being inspected by a malevolent stalker with a high definition telescope.<br />

Turner Prizewinner Richard Wright says in <a href="http://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-britain/exhibition/turner-prize-2009/turner-prize-2009-artists-richard-wright">The Tate's </a>video "<i>This work is not for the future this is work for now"</i> Lots of images at the <a href="http://www.gagosian.com/artists/richard-wright">Gagosian website</a> and he discusses an exhibition that he curated for the Tate <a href="http://www.tate.org.uk/context-comment/video/tateshots-richard-wright">here</a>. I like the way that Wright responds to the environment around his work and his use of repeated pattern and shape. I am pondering on his statement in the Tateshot film that the exhibition was about slowing down the viewers engagement with the pieces. This has relevance to this project about time, but also the general relevance of artwork to the public, particularly work which addresses the ordinary and everyday.<br />
<br />
I have enormous respect for <a href="http://www.saatchigallery.com/artists/grayson_perry.htm">Grayson Perry</a>, his <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03969vt">Reith Lectures</a> were fascinating, but I was underwhelmed by his work <a href="http://se2015.royalacademy.org.uk/artwork/Grayson-Perry-RA/254">Julie and Rob</a> for the 2015 RA Summer exhibition was brash and kitchsy. I had never looked that closely at his pots and I find that they have<a href="https://uk.pinterest.com/pin/331225747579470735/"> lovely narrative drawings</a>. I'm not sure that I agree with the course notes which describe them as <i>detailed extended doodles</i> but I will look more closely next time I get a chance to see his work.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.simonleegallery.com/artists/jim_shaw/selected_works.html">Jim Shaw</a> makes work that is very busy. There are so many cultural references bursting to get out it's like being inside a 1970's American comic. He is incredibly eclectic in what he does ranging from drawings, paintings and installations to <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2000/sep/16/weekend.oliverbennett">thrift store paintings</a>. I found an essay in <a href="https://frieze.com/article/jim-shaw">Frieze</a> which is a good summary of his ideas and interests. His pencil Dream drawings are very detailed (<i><a href="http://www.blumandpoe.com/sites/default/files/works/JSH26_2.jpg">I was in a Vegas show about a Viking farmer...</a></i>) Also this study for <a href="http://s3.amazonaws.com/eob_nonarchived_images-production/eob_uploaded_images/1398879702_Study_600.jpg?1398879702">Seven Deadly Sins</a> and <i><a href="http://www.simonleegallery.com/artists/jim_shaw/selected_works.html">a study</a></i> for <i><a href="http://www.artnet.com/WebServices/images/ll786105llgQDpCfDrCWBHBAD/jim-shaw-anal/isis.jpg">Anal/Isis</a> </i>which I read as hair though I may be wrong?<br />
<br />
<a href="http://detaileddrawings.tumblr.com/">Detailed Drawings</a> is a Tumblr site with loads of artists collected together. I find that repeated exposure to these complex works does feel rather frenetic after a while. They aren't relaxing pieces, and part of me does worry about the mental health of someone who works this way on a large scale.<br />
<br />
I have a jam jar of keys which I daren't throw away in case they unlock a forgotten door somewhere so to get going I drew them.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">It's an interesting idea but probably too derivative for me at the moment.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">I'm not keen on hyper realism, I don't have the patience for masses of detail unless it's a subject which really inspires me so I need to choose something that will keep me fiddling to get this exercise done properly. <a href="http://www.lynnechapman.co.uk/">Lynne Chapman</a> did a <a href="https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/07/160726094222.htm">residency with the University of Manchester</a> which included a study of <a href="http://projects.socialsciences.manchester.ac.uk/dormant-things/?p=229">dormant things,</a> (also <a href="https://lynnechapman.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/recording-stuff-we-cant-quite-throw-away.html">here</a>) stuff that doesn't have a current purpose but you can't throw away (like my jar of keys). I've downsized fairly recently so I don't have quite as much clutter as in the past, I considered the cutlery draw or my toolbox, maybe my pens and pencils, but <a href="https://uk.pinterest.com/lidyklimova/andrea-joseph/">Andrea Joseph</a> has that covered.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Living things get me excited enough to fiddle. The course notes say that</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "roboto" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> '</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>It’s not ‘cheating’ to use a projector or tracing paper here to create extra
layers of complexity</i>.' I don't have a projector but I read this as a go ahead to work closely from a photo. My dog is 14 so in a way he covers the underlying time factor of the project. I have drawn him regularly from life but for this level of detail I need a photo.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I used a propelling pencil so that I didn't have to keep stopping to sharpen it. My dad was a draughtsman so I have a pot of leads which are unlabelled but I suspect to be a bit harder than HB, maybe H? </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I grew up using cast off H pencils and I've never been a fan, they make a very weak line, but I found that with lots of layering I managed to get some depth of tone. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">I drew a very feint outline before I started to be sure that everything was in the right place before I added shading and this had to be erased in places to stop it giving conflicting information about the fur to the viewer.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I learnt a lot doing this exercise. My aim was to render individual hairs - I didn't manage all of them. I found that if I was lazy and made longer marks I didn't properly represent his smooth coat. I wanted a minimal background, the pencil is so weak that anything behind the dog would make him disappear. This meant that I had to either choose to have a pencil outline around the white fur on his neck or draw in something a little darker but boring. I chose to extend the beanbag, however I've not managed to completely get rid of my earlier pencil marks. The detail makes this a very static picture and it was hard to decide when to stop fiddling. I am quite pleased with the result though I preferred it when I used the auto tone button in Photoshop and made it bolder.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Although the background is rather pixelated if you see the screen at an angle. On some level I think that I might quite like that.... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If the darkened drawing works better maybe I should repeat the exercise working in ink. I chose a different subject,</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;">and decided to draw in biro. I've never done much more than doodles in biro and there are some very detailed drawings made with ballpoint pens from artists such as <a href="http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2012/08/amazing-portrait-drawn-with-ballpoint-pens-by-samuel-silva/">Samuel Silva</a> and <a href="http://jamesmylne.co.uk/">James Mylne</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">It's not as detailed as it should be. It takes a lot of concentration to copy so closely and I think that it was a mistake to attempt two very detailed drawings one after another. The biro did tend to blob, it's not new, it may be best to use a fresh biro for a very detailed drawing. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Moving away from representational, and for completeness, I did an extended doodle in ink.</span><br />

hard pencil which has a limited range of tone. We discussed the possibility of using a

They still don't show up very well and I'm not convinced that the idea works. If you hadn't followed my thoughts as I designed them and prepared them would you understand what they are? I'm not sure.<br />

The fire drawings were considered interesting but predictable in colour and too neatly contained within the paper edges.<br />

I quite like these, they are like bats, or leaves blown in the wind. The arrangement of the shapes is completely random, maybe I should have been more deliberate with the arrangement.<br />
Alternatively I coloured the burnt sheet and glued it to a coloured background. This is supposed to represent the feeling of looking through trees<br />

This is too regular to be interesting and the shapes are dull. It's a bit more interesting if the lines are vertical.<br />

The Smithsonian Institution also has a large collection of books including the lovely <a href="http://collections.si.edu/search/tag/tagDoc.htm?recordID=siris_sil_1009876&hlterm=%22Artists%27%2Bbooks%22">Gifts from our Elders</a> by Kerry McAleer-Keeler which is like a miniature room of objects and ideas. They also have <a href="http://collections.si.edu/search/tag/tagDoc.htm?recordID=siris_sil_904247&hlterm=%22Artists%27%2Bbooks%22">Negative Space</a> by Mungo Thomson, a beautiful book made by inverting photographs taken by the Hubble Space Telescope (Thompson is <a href="http://kadist.org/en/people/mungo-thomson">interested in time</a>, relative to this module in other ways?)<br />
<a href="http://www.philobiblon.com/flagbook/">The Book Arts Web</a> has a selection of works made on the flag book format which was developed by <a href="http://www.fpba.com/parenthesis/select-articles/p25_hedi_kyle.html">Hedi Kyle</a> is something of a guru in bookmaking, I found <a href="https://guildofbookworkers.org/sites/guildofbookworkers.org/files/standards/2005-Kyle_Hedi.pdf">this</a> set of detailed instructions to make covers and protects for books. Also, via Book Arts, The University of Brighton, <a href="http://www.tiki-toki.com/timeline/entry/152653/tracking-the-development-of-the-book/#vars!date=1985-11-29_16:03:40!">this timeline</a> of the development of books.<br />
The Caseroom Press are a publisher working with artists to make innovative designs such as these <a href="http://www.the-case.co.uk/on-the-line.html">train ticket books</a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2008/nov/27/photography-hanspeter-feldmann">This</a> Guardian article gives a good background on the history of the modern artists book. Edward Ruscha is credited with setting things in motion when he published <a href="http://www.tate.org.uk/about/projects/transforming-artist-books/summaries/edward-ruscha-twentysix-gasoline-stations-1963">Twenty Six Gasoline Stations</a> in which is listed everywhere as being published in 1963 including the Tate which goes on to offer an online version which very clearly has 1962 on the first page. It is an interesting document, the stations are very different, not at all like modern identikit petrol stations. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hans Peter Feldman takes found images and lays them out in a book allowing the viewer to make their own interpretation. His exhibition at the Serpentine Galleries in 2012 Handbag as Museum is a beguiling collection of objects laid out and photographed together. They remind me of paintings of collections of objects by<a href="http://www.lisamilroy.net/c/13/hardware"> Lisa Milroy</a>.</span><br />
<a href="http://tillmans.co.uk/" style="font-family: inherit;">Wolfgang Tillmans</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> is a photographer who has used books as one means of exhibiting his work. His images range across all subjects and are used as art photographs and for political expression. There is an <a href="http://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-modern/exhibition/wolfgang-tillmans">exhibition at the Tate</a> which starts next month and I think that I need to see the exhibition to find my way around his art but in the meantime I found </span><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2010/jun/27/wolfgang-tillmans-serpentine-review-cumming" style="font-family: inherit;">a review in the Guardian</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> of his </span><a href="http://www.serpentinegalleries.org/exhibitions-events/wolfgang-tillmans" style="font-family: inherit;">Serpentine exhibition in 2010</a><span style="font-family: inherit;">, and <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2015/sep/17/how-the-world-caught-up-with-wolfgang-tillmans-photography-overload">this</a> discussion of his more recent images.</span><br />
<a href="http://www.theartstory.org/artist-lewitt-sol.htm" style="font-family: inherit;">Sol de Witt</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> was co founder of </span><a href="https://www.printedmatter.org/" style="font-family: inherit;">Printed Matter</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> which was set up to</span><a href="https://www.printedmatter.org/what-we-do" style="font-family: inherit;"> promote and support the medium of artists books</a><span style="font-family: inherit;">. Their website has </span><a href="https://www.printedmatter.org/what-we-do/what-is-an-artists-book" style="font-family: inherit;">this explanation</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> the medium. The Smithsonian has some of De Witt's own books which appear to be focused on the ordinary and everyday. This seems to be a recurrent theme for the artists in this list.</span><br />
<a href="http://eileenhogan.co.uk/" style="font-family: inherit;">Eileen Hogan</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> is a more traditional painter who had produced a number of </span><a href="http://eileenhogan.co.uk/books/" style="font-family: inherit;">books</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> either to showcase her own work or in collaboration with authors or poets. I like the way that many of them feel like sketchbooks, there is something very special about being granted access to someone else's sketchbook, a real privilege.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Arnaud Desjardins is a bit tricky to research because he shares his name with a noted French spiritual teacher I found a <a href="http://largeglass.co.uk/Arnaud-Desjardin-The-Everyday-PressMouldy-Modern">a link to an altered book</a> which is a beautiful object and this abstract from his <a href="http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.548184">PhD thesis</a>. There is also a <a href="https://vimeo.com/84918298">video of a lecture</a> he gave to the Emily Carr </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">University Library</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> where he had a residency. He discusses the philosophy of artists books and some of the challenges associated with them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sandro Botticelli made a series of drawings to illustrate Dante's The Divine Comedy. The title is familiar but frustratingly I know nothing about the story. I found <a href="http://www.gradesaver.com/divine-comedyi-inferno/study-guide/summary">this</a> summary of Inferno aimed at students and read through the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divine_Comedy">Wikipedia entry</a> and </span><a href="https://www.khanacademy.org/humanities/renaissance-reformation/late-gothic-italy/florence-late-gothic/a/dantes-divine-comedy-in-late-medieval-and-early-renaissance-art" style="font-family: inherit;">this essay in the Khan Academy website</a>. <span style="font-family: inherit;">Sadly I'm too late for this</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2016/feb/17/botticelli-drawings-dante-divine-comedy-courtald-gallery"> exhibition at the Courtald</a>. From what I've managed to find I think that I could spend a whole degree studying the Divine Comedy and it's various illustrations, I have a better understanding of the pictures I saw at the Rauschenberg exhibition (the Rauschenberg Foundation shows them <a href="http://www.rauschenbergfoundation.org/art/series/dante-drawing">here</a>). The World of Dante has all the illustrations <a href="http://www.worldofdante.org/gallery_botticelli.html">here</a> (although irritatingly they need adjustment to display on my computer) and I am indebted to <a href="https://astrofella.wordpress.com/2016/02/17/botticelli-and-treasures-from-the-hamilton-collection-the-courtauld-gallery/">Books and Boots</a> who went to the Courtald exhibition and writes eloquently about seeing them first hand. With this guidance I can see the way that the drawings change as the story progresses, the busyness of hell and the simpler drawings of purgatorio and paradiso. Books and Boots finds the drawings a bit clumsy and simplistic which may be more obvious in real life, I think that the figures are quite well executed considering the number that there are and the restrictions of the media available to Botticelli. They express the feelings of the characters so that I feel that I can understand the gist of the story without a written explanation, something that Rauschenberg failed to convey to me. Botticelli tells the story in a coherent way whilst managing to have Virgil and Dante appear more than once in the same illustration, and the two men are clearly recognisable and distinguishable from the other characters. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Botticellis project was a massive undertaking and I do wonder whether he would have done better to finish a few pictures rather than sketch out all of them, but without all the illustrations we would not have had the opportunity to view his whole imagining of the story which is so significant because it was produced so long ago. His images, although they were done more than 100 years after Dante completed the poem, are from a world that is much closer to the mindset that told the original story.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Armed with all this information I set out to make my own book. First I was interested in non traditional book designs. I made these by sticking flaps of cardboard to a base layer. For some reason I can't get the videos that I took to work on my blog so I've uploaded them to Vimeo. This was my </span><a href="https://vimeo.com/202545232" style="font-family: inherit;">first attempt</a> which is just a simple line of pages. I liked the idea of them not being linear so I put the second set on a curve like a rainbow <a href="https://vimeo.com/202544373">here</a>.<br />

Its very difficult to video on a phone one handed whilst moving the pages so I apologise for the quality of the video <a href="https://vimeo.com/202550632">here</a>.<br />
<br />
The major failure with this design is trying to add decoration and colour after it has been made. Using watercolour paper I made one side blue sky and the other dark clouds. I cut six wedges at a 30 degree angle, then drew a rainbow onto the card that I was using for the base before I glued the pages on.<br />

This needs more time, thought and work. There are lots of challenges in working in three dimensions with a moving object. I think, in trying to keep my options open, that I've over complicated it. I need to make lots and lots more prototypes and close down the options as I go along to take this forward. It has shown me the challenges of recording this sort of work for my blog, this is the first time ever that I have posted a video on Vimeo, which was a lot easier than I had expected it to be.</div>

The theme was Change which also invited modification and is very appropriate in the light of recent political changes both in the UK and across the world. Keeping the theme I modified the pages in reaction to the content of the zine but with an eye to what was happening in the news. Some articles instantly inspired change whilst for others I had to think a bit deeper.<br />

<b><u>Reflection</u></b><br />
I have never used an existing book as a sketchbook before and I found the exercise, on some levels, quite liberating. As I filled the pages the need to make a cohesive body of work grew and it became more challenging. Using the text as a starting point to generate ideas was useful and this would be a great technique to deal with artists block. It's also interesting to work with a broad theme especially one that encompasses ideas that are currently in the news. I have enjoyed making both of my responses to this project. If I am to take either of these ideas forward I would need to work in making something much more robust to cope with repeated handling.<br />

<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>For this project I made my own books in the shape of fans. These lacked content. My
approach was to use the way the viewer moved the pages to change the weather but
I spent too long making the physical pages and not enough time on the visual elements within.<br />
I modified the pages of the Edge fanzine but in doing so I moved away from the original theme and the finished project was incoherent. A better approach would have
consolidated the theme.<br />

<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #111111; font-style: italic;">"my practice in general explores the book; specifically ideas around a sense of place.The book as a symbol of power and knowledge can be a vehicle to communicate directly; it is a form that is understood in these terms but repositioning its context and purpose challenges these very notions. The work becomes a question rather than an answer, a collaboration between maker and reader/viewer. The practical aspects of the book form, of disseminating information; of making things clearer is an interesting idea to question.The sculptural forms are derived from and examine the book form. The work explores the idea of form as a content and manipulation as the narrative.The work positions itself conceptually and physically between and within the idea of both sculpture and book. The hybrid nature of the work finds its roots in both forms – exploring and challenging both genres.The idea of a sense of place comes from stillness and silence, a reflective experience of taking time to look, listen and consider the spaces I find myself in and my connection to them. The immediate landscape around my house and the walks I undertake provide a starting point for the work, the unseen and the seen have equal worth when making the work. "</span></span></span><br />

I found the video of <a href="http://lesbicknell.blogspot.co.uk/2015/09/fractalfoldstruthandlies.html" style="font-size: 16px;">Fractal folds</a><span style="font-size: 16px;"> mesmerising. How do you conceive something so complicated and then demonstrate it so fluently? Works such as the <a href="http://lesbicknell.wixsite.com/work/louth">Louth Millennium Sculpture </a>project work with figurative sculpture and text. Does this still count as a book? it is </span>telling an unfolding tale. Similarly <a href="http://lesbicknell.wixsite.com/work/beyond">Beyond</a> is text displayed on stone.<br />
A book can lead you on an imaginative journey away from where you expect to be. <a href="http://lesbicknell.wixsite.com/work/unpicking-and-rebinding">Unpicking and rebinding</a> considers the fabric of the book as a device and then wanders off into the world of folds, folding and then into smocking. Bicknell's work is an encouragement to follow ideas away from expected routes. His books are sometimes about the object itself rather than the content (the early fold works) but can lead into <a href="http://lesbicknell.wixsite.com/work/fold">more narrative pieces as they develop</a>. He also sounds like an engaged and exciting tutor. I am inspired by the variety and quantity of work that he produces, many artists have only a few pieces online and never seem to change them which makes it hard to understand individual work in a wider context.</div>

My mind boggles at the difficulties involved in working together in this way, the challenges are enormous. This work is in many ways a more interesting version of Mike Martins line drawings, it's the wobbliness of the line that makes it more appealing.<br />
<div>
She also introduced me to the work of <a href="http://jacquesnimki.com/">Jacques Nimki</a> who does lovely delicate intricate drawings of weeds and plant related projects. I particularly like the drawings on walls and windows which have the immediacy and accessability of street art. His choice of an overlooked and ignored subject is inspiring, I hate the way that weeds are dismissed, it seems like a form of racism.<br />
<a href="https://frieze.com/article/roger-ackling">Roger Ackling</a> used found pieces of wood as supports and "drew" regular, ordered dots by focusing the sun's rays with a magnifying glass. The dots link together to make lines. <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2014/jun/19/roger-ackling">(also here)</a> It doesn't sound like a recipe for artwork but the objects that he created are simple and tactile. They appeal to our need for tidiness and regularity but link to primitive art, using the elements, keeping things simple.<br />

Then switching between a red and black pencil, I didn't spend as long on this one as I was called in to work.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
None of the drawings are individually as good as the first session but there is a better sense of the crowd. However they all appear to be present at once so I don't get a feel of passing time. The felt tip pens probably work best because there is a suggestion that maybe the different coloured figures aren't inhabiting the same space at the same time, especially when they overlap.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Then I drew a row of yellow figures, overlapped them with a row of orange figures then red, purple blue and finally green.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For both of these drawings it was raining so the people didn't hang around for long. The figures are drawn from a mixture of memory and imagination. It was a good exercise for me because I couldn't focus on the individuals or any detail. I concentrated on trying to get a feel of each person. I think that you can tell that I drew the top line first, I've relaxed into the drawing process for the second set of figures and I think that this is the best version yet because the lighter coloured figures look like the ghosts of previous people. Should I have done this in neutral colours? It's a grey day and I'm enjoying the colour but maybe it distracts the viewer?</div>

Following on from this project I went to the Tate Modern and drew the people in the Turbine Hall experiencing <a href="http://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-modern/exhibition/hyundai-commission/philippe-parreno-anywhen">Phillipe Parenno's Anywhere</a>. (Sadly still without flying fish)</div>

The earlier sustained practice of drawing moving people has made me more decisive in capturing this small crowd. </div>

<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">The animal drawings better than I judged them to be. I felt that they moved less than
I would have expected them to and most of the movement was the head. At my tutorial we discussed the way we see figures and how we are programmed to focus on the eyes
and mouth, this has been studied in the drawings of young children. My tutor commented that </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">this is a useful tool for composition, </span>exploited by <span style="font-family: inherit;">some artists who slightly
enlarge the head/eyes when drawing people.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">The repetition and the need for rapid mark making encouraged the use of confident
lines and gestural drawing. My tutor could see parallels with the continuous line work of </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Claude Heath. I had studied his work shortly before making these drawings and I
suspect that this subconsciously influenced how I approached this project. </span></i></div>

It's the new years bank holiday so it was quieter than usual but fortunately the bakers was open and attracting a slow but steady flow of customers. I started with a Tombow brush pen.<br />

Then I changed to a plain felt tip pen.<br />

It took a few drawings to adjust to the different pen. This time I fitted the figures in randomly just trying to get as many as I could on the page.<br />
Finally I used a brush pen, the sort that takes a cartridge of ink. This felt very bold after the other pens. I found that I had to be more precise with my lines.<br />

Reviewing the other drawings I think that I was doing better at the start before I got over excited with drawing people. The felt tip pens conveyed the transience of the lines better because I could use them more freely, scribbling lightly or bolder heavy handed marks.<br />
I lost my way towards the right of this drawing.<br />

The different sizes of the people and the fact that they are all heading in different directions help.<br />
Although I enjoyed making this drawing it doesn't seem finished enough to be the final piece and I was too busy capturing people to think about time.<br />

Drawing in my sketchbook I started to think about how many figure models slowly drift as you draw them, it's even worse when you try to draw a sleeping animal which appears to be still but is constantly moving very slowly so you start to feel that you're going slightly mad.<br />
What if, instead of trying to capture a snapshot, I drew exactly what I saw, including the movement in the drawing?<br />

After a few lines I found that it was easy to get lost between the versions of the drawing. The head may be disproportionally large or maybe, because that was the bit that moved the most, it's just that there are so many different overlaid versions. Apart from the thorax, which was reasonably still, how do I, or the viewer, know if my lines were accurate at the time that they were made?<br />
I repeated the exercise drawing my cat in different coloured Tombow markers to try and keep track of which version I was working on, and to show the development over time.<br />

The markers are becoming dried out which, in the early stages makes them nicely responsive, but now I'm not sure which one is going to work. I don't think that this drawing works as well, the rust coloured lines dominate the drawing.<br />

<br />
I did a biro drawing as well which I think works better as all the versions are equally weighted and the viewer can choose which one to see. The cat didn't move much more than his head, although I couldn't really see his feet. I cropped the drawing just to the area of movement.<br />

<br />
but I don't think that it makes sense without the body so I prefer the first dog drawing as there are more areas of movement.<br />

<b><u>Reflection</u></b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>What were the main challenges in working this way?</i> People came in groups, lots of interesting potential subjects and it was hard to decide who to focus on, then there were gaps when there was no one to draw. I was comfortable and hidden in my car but other cars and street </span>furniture<span style="font-family: inherit;"> hid some of the action. </span><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Did you feel comfortable focusing on movement at the expense of a more ‘finished’ effect? </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I </span>thoroughly<span style="font-family: inherit;"> enjoyed myself but I worry that I turned this into an exercise in self indulgence. The "finished" drawings look more like sketchbook pages which is the sort of art that I like to look at but tutors have commented on the lack of resolution in my work so I don't think that I've made an adequately "finished" piece out of the exercise.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Did you choose
the right materials for the job?</i> I am happy </span>working<span style="font-family: inherit;"> in felt tip and biro. The ink brush pen was challenging and I used it for self development but I didn't feel comfortable using it. I wanted something that wasn't erasable so that it didn't get smudged but I want to think about using several different colours on the same drawing, maybe similar shades which sit well together but highlight the different figures and the timescale.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>What would you do differently another time?</i> Find somewhere with a clearer unobstructed view. Work on a longer landscape drawing with figures at the same level. Maybe work from left to right gradually changing the colour? I'm not sure how to get this to work at the moment, dip pens? (messy in a car or public place) coloured pencils?</span>Cal Hoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15298612229115819096noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4319256230835183964.post-74970031931616877112016-12-26T10:07:00.001+00:002017-01-02T18:08:52.099+00:00Assignment 4<br />

I experimented with charcoal marks on the paper to indicate the fireplace but I'm not as keen on this. It's too busy and messy.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This lead me to look for other artists who use fire. I found <a href="http://inhabitat.com/donna-ruff-draws-with-fire-to-create-gorgeous-patterns-on-cast-off-book-pages/">these intricate patterns</a> made by <a href="http://www.donnaruffart.com/">Donna Ruff</a>. <a href="http://katemccgwire.com/">Kate McGwire</a> is a sculptor who uses fire as part of her work such as in <a href="http://katemccgwire.com/cabinet-works#/fume-2007/">this book</a> and <a href="http://www.theenglishgroup.co.uk/blog/2012/02/20/burnt-layers/">this burnt map</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://www.spazuk.com/fr/home-spazuk.php">Steve Spazuk</a> uses a mixture of fire and smoke to create very detailed but atmospheric pictures.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My next idea was to explore doing something in the area around my back door. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">It's a shared access way with the house next door and north facing so there's not much clutter. The house was built in 1899 and there are traces of past occupants, the </span>horse shoe on the wall, painted over with modern white textured acrylic which has peeled off in places and been painted over with fresh white leaving islands of texture and seas of smoother wall.<br />
I took some photos and made a montage.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The binoculars idea appeals to me the most, the whole big brother, someone is watching you, concept. My idea is to stick a cutout onto the bollard. This will require me to pluck up some courage which I'm not sure that I have but here goes....</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">There is a lot of information about fly position on the net, I feel a bit like a criminal. I don't want my sticker to stay in place for very long, just enough to, hopefully, make a few people smile and to get some photos for you. It's either wallpaper paste or cornflour glue, both of which will dissolve in the rain. It's only a small piece of paper so it too should rot.</span><br />

and a cutout stuck to my plan chest to see if it looks ok. The problem is that the bollard is not a flat surface to stick to but I'm hoping that because the image is small and an irregular shape it will be possible to hold it around the bollard. The other problem is that I don't want to spend lots of time applying it and I only get one chance to maintain the element of surprise which seems integral to the project. The flyposting websites talk of a feeling of adrenaline when the job is done but it's a part of the project which really doesn't appeal to me.<br />

The photos aren't great quality because its getting dark and I was rushing. I need to go out tomorrow when the light is better. In hindsight it's too small, also maybe a bit low on the bollard, its not had time for the glue to dry so back out while it's still quiet....<br />

Better with a hat? I was in such a panic to take the photo that I didn't notice at first that the binoculars were falling off.<br />

As it's New Year I tried a party hat too. This time I straightened the binoculars before I too the photo.<br />

<u>Reflection</u><br />
It's too small and the marks aren't bold enough. I simplified the shapes and lines but not enough, a passer by needs to stop and examine it to get the message, most people aren't that observant and don't have enough time, especially at a busy junction. On the plus side, I do feel quite pleased with myself for actually going through with it.<br />
<br />
The first piece drawing with the poker was in my view more successful.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The finished piece is, to me, more pleasing but also the methods I used to get there were more experimental. The binoculars is tight little drawing, I didn't learn very much from the execution of the drawing though I think that I gained a lot from the execution of the project.<br />

<b><u>Reflection on Assignment 4</u></b><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">It has
taken me a lot longer than I expected to complete this module and much of that
time has been spent thinking and researching because what I have been asked to
do is so different from the sort of work that I have done before. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">I really
enjoyed looking for naturally occurring drawings, I can’t stop, it made me
think differently about what a drawing is. Interacting with the environment was
a lot harder. It gives you a much greater respect for land artists such as Andy
Goldsworthy and Cornelia Konrads. I generally lack confidence in my work and
that is exacerbated by trying to create something in public, I don’t like to
reveal anything until I have resolved it to my satisfaction, you can’t do that
in a public space. It is good to be taken out of my (very small) comfort zone
but difficult to allow ideas to develop, the temptation is to play it safe and
that doesn’t lead to making an interesting or innovative piece of art. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">What I have
learnt is that the best ideas are often the simplest. They need to be well
executed and clear, ambiguity and vagueness doesn’t work in environmental art,
you don’t get very long to attract attention and engage the viewer. The rise in
popularity of environmental art may in part be due to its accessibility, both
physical (you don’t need to go into a gallery to see it) and academically (many
of the ideas can be understood by someone who doesn’t consider themselves to be
interested in art)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Because I
chose to work in my own home I found Project 3, installation less challenging.
I like the final piece with the cut-out mice and I would like to take this idea
further, it allows me to engage with a wider audience without risking showing
too much of myself, I want my art to speak for itself. I used the same
techniques for my final assignment piece. They didn’t work as well as I would
have liked because I couldn’t test the cut-outs on the bollard for size and
positioning and I didn’t design them simply enough so they are hard to read. Nobody
stopped me or challenged me when I was applying the paper to the bollard so I
have no excuse for not developing it properly apart from my own cowardice.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">I am
conflicted between doing planned, controlled, safe work that I like (the
cut-outs) and work that is experimental which I don’t always understand. The
fire drawing has become something that I am visually pleased with and that grew
out of messing around without any clear idea of what I wanted to make. Although
it is innovative for me it stops short of having any meaning beyond fire burns
paper and controlled fire can make a pretty picture if you add paint. Is it acceptable
to retrospectively apply meaning? It could be about cleansing and catharsis, or
destruction. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

I was busy last weekend when there was the OCA study visit but going alone gave me plenty of time to sit and ponder. From my earlier research I felt that Rauschenberg wasn't visually my cup of tea but it's often difficult to get a feel from the net. Whilst I see the point of the <a href="http://www.rauschenbergfoundation.org/art/artwork/retroactive-ii">Retroactive II</a> which is used extensively in the publicity material it irritates me because the image of Kennedy is so large and dominating and the woman in the top right hand corner isn't properly reflected in the mirror which is me deliberately missing the point and isn't a reasonable reaction.<br />
<br />
On the recommendation of Red Squirel on the forum I watched the <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b085k35h/robert-rauschenberg-pop-art-pioneer">Artsnight documentary </a>before I went which gave me a better view of Rauschenberg as a person although I'm not sure how much I should be allowing that to influence my interpretation of him as an artist.<br />
<br />
I did like Blueprint with its ghost figures though I wondered how it was created. Multiple exposures? <a href="http://www.rauschenbergfoundation.org/art/artwork/first-half-print-designed-exist-passing-time">This is the first half of a print designed to exist in passing time</a> could be relevant for the next part of the course but I don't see much information about it's contents.<br />
Black painting using sheets of paint soaked newspaper. Some are whole sheets some are fragments. Were the fragments torn before application or peeled off? Was this early stage subtraction leading to the Erased De Kooning (which was rather unspectacular in real life, I think that the associated X-rays and examination, found elsewhere, are more interesting).<br />
Why was <a href="http://www.rauschenbergfoundation.org/art/artwork/untitled-scatole-personali-0">Scatoli Personali</a> considered so offensive? They seem very innocuous to me.<br />
Automobile tyre print works because of it's size, it's big enough to defend it's own space.<br />
<a href="http://www.rauschenbergfoundation.org/art/artwork/dirt-painting-john-cage">Dirt Painting (for John Cage)</a> is unexpectedly beautiful. I like the shape of the cracks and the subtle colour.<br />
<a href="http://www.rauschenbergfoundation.org/art/artwork/charlene">Charlene</a>, like many of his combines, may have mellowed with the patina of age. I think that it looks better in a good photograph than in real life.<br />

For me Rauschenberg's importance was in his willingness to try new things and experiment. I don't always like the "finished" works, they seem untidy and a bit slapdash, but they provided a starting point which <a href="https://www.quora.com/Which-artists-are-visibly-influenced-by-Robert-Rauschenbergs-style-in-their-artwork">other artists have moved forward</a>. When the world encourages artists to find a sale and stick to it (e.g. <a href="http://www.michaelcraigmartin.co.uk/">Michael Craig Martin</a>) it's good to see that it can be possible to work diversely and have success. It is fascinating to see how one person can prepare the ground for so many other people.</div>

An impressive piece of work for an elderly lady.<br />
<br />
There is an apparent freedom to her work but she is working within the constraints of her cultural upbringing and training. It is fascinating to think that different people, separated across the world, can come to the same conclusions in an artistic sense. She is Monet and Jackson Pollock but from an Aboriginal viewpoint. She painted what she saw either the micro view of Yam <a href="http://blog.worldagroforestry.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/yambean.jpg">beans</a> or <a href="http://www.nma.gov.au/exhibitions/utopia_the_genius_of_emily_kame_kngwarreye/yam">roots</a> or the mystical world of Aboriginal culture, translating body painting to canvas.<br />
<br />
Aborigines can teach us about being present in our world, to appreciate what we see and what we've got. We are products of our environment and we can either fight that or embrace it. This feeds directly into my parallel project which is about my surrounding environment but with my literal English education I see people and buildings rather than shapes and colour. I need to look again.<br />
<br />
George Shaw and Ken Howard make landscapes that are rooted in Place, but both work figuratively. Lowry's work was almost reportage of his environment. Maggi Hamblings <a href="https://www.abbothall.org.uk/exhibitions/maggi-hambling-no-straight-lines-waves-and-waterfalls">Wave series </a>are slightly more abstract.<br />
<br />
Are Kngwarreye's pictures paintings in that they are made from paint, or drawings in that they are formed from lines and marks rather than flat areas of colour? I think that they can sit in both camps, they are on the divide between the genres.<br />
<br />
I found a bit more information <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/obituary-emily-kngwarreye-1362024.html">here</a> in the Independent's obituary and <a href="https://www.humancondition.com/aboriginal-artist-emily-kame-kngwarreye-is-a-modern-day-miracle/">here</a> where the writer speculates about a shared collective unconsciousness and wonders whether "progress" has moved us away from our soul. There are some <a href="http://nga.gov.au/exhibitions/kngwarreye/teachers.htm">helpful teachers notes</a> about a past exhibition. <a href="http://www.australia.gov.au/about-australia/australian-story/dreaming">This</a> Australian Government web post gives a bit more information on the background culture which created Emily Kame Kngwarreye.<br />
<br />
Is it wrong that I see traces of Kngwarreye's work <a href="http://www.nma.gov.au/__data/assets/image/0018/226044/8_Untitled_1996_w480.jpg">Sacred Grasses</a> in this photo of frosted English grass?<br />

Whilst following links I came across his </span><a href="http://www.notey.com/@artobserved_unofficial/external/9058872/new-york-ellsworth-kelly-%E2%80%9Cphotographs%E2%80%9D-at-matthew-marks-gallery-through-april-30th-2016.html" style="font-family: inherit;">"Pine Branch and Shadow " </a>photo<span style="font-family: inherit;"> which links into the found drawings of this section of the course. Although they aren't installative I have always admired the simplicity of his <a href="http://www.artnet.com/artists/ellsworth-kelly/calla-lily-iii-a-kWjWkIZ7z0iHZsbIm4_Hqw2">plant drawings </a>which are so economically line yet so clearly convey the essence of the plant they represent. They draw your attention to the beauty of the shape.</span></span><br />

I like the way that the lines follow each other partly overlapping as though he is struggling to find the right line that conveys the idea but also they gain something in being not just a line but one of many lines. </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://vvp.avu.cz/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/malich-05.jpg">Uccurance on the Circle in the Flow of Energy, 1973</a>, is a good example of this, and for me a better drawing than the one in the exhibition. Fascinating to wonder how he managed to link the lines and keep them together . How much was planned and how much was happenstance?</span><br />

The tape is like a installation highlighter pen making the ordinary and overlooked stand out. Then how do you deal with failures in transport? Krasinski dealt with adversity by seeing new opportunity. He obviously delighted in the technology that allowed information be transmitted instantly. With modern technology it is easy to overlook the miracles of communication so in a way his work was ahead of its time and predicted modern apathy.</span><br />

This is a sort of living drawing rather than static marks on paper. She uses unusual drawing materials such as <a href="http://www.lankaart.org/article-pierrette-bloch-trames-94266246.html">hair</a> and <a href="https://danielmusy.net/2014/02/26/pierrette-bloch-la-vraie-repetition-est-de-limagination/">repeated marks</a> which gain more significance when they are grouped together. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The influence here is definitely the work of <a href="http://www.slinkachu.com/">Slinkachu</a> and <a href="http://cementeclipses.com/Works/">Isaac Cordal </a>I like the idea of installing work that only the observant will appreciate. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Randomly <a href="https://fr.pinterest.com/pin/331225747578263279/">Kurt Pertl</a> came up on my Facebook feed, the figure looks so at home, so natural in the landscape. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I had never heard of anamorphosis although I have seen </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Holbein’s </span><a href="https://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/server.iip?FIF=/fronts/N-1314-00-000192-WZ-PYR.tif&CNT=1.0&WID=800&HEI=800&QLT=85&CVT=jpeg" style="font-family: inherit;">The Ambassadors </a> <span style="font-family: inherit;">It's a really great idea but I think Holbein was just so excited with the innovation he overlooked that viewed from the front the picture appears to have a large smear running across it. I looked up </span><a href="http://www.metanamorph.com/" style="font-family: inherit;">Edgar Mueller</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"> and </span><a href="http://kurtwenner.com/" style="font-family: inherit;">Kurt Wenner</a> who make some mind bending drawings. I know that they want to keep their methods to themselves but it would have been great to see some photos from a less favourable angle, I would have been even more impressed.<br />
<br />
Pierette Bloch <a href="http://vernissage.tv/2011/01/10/pierrette-bloch-retrospective-at-galerie-karsten-greve-paris/">here</a> and <a href="http://www.artcritical.com/2009/05/11/pierrette-bloch-at-haim-chanin/">here</a>. The video with the horsehair gently wafting in the breeze helped me to understand better than the photos. Many pieces of art are better appreciated in isolation but her splodgy black blobs of paint improve when you scroll through Google images looking at lots of them. Her materials are described as poor because they are readily available to anyone. It's what she does with them that is important. Using cheap readily available materials to make art must help the artist to be less precious about what is created. If it all goes "wrong" however that is defined, the only thing that is wasted or lost is the time it took to create the piece. I also feel that her work is more accessible because it isn't fancy expensive things, and the simplicity of the shapes and lack of colours makes looking at them a more calming meditative experience.<br />

Before I did this course I saw Louise Bourgeois sculpture in Washington. <br />

It's not a great photo but it gives you a flavour. I found the sculpture fascinating, maybe, in retrospect, that has something to do with an association with drawing. The legs appear to have been drawn out in metal from the solid body. The sculpture is delicate in design but looks so strong and powerful. Maybe that is an association with spiders which we imbue with greater power that their small size and fragility should command. I do see this sculpture as a three dimensional drawing very much in the same vein as Pierette Bloch's horsehair drawings.Cal Hoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15298612229115819096noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4319256230835183964.post-79591895977230962512016-11-05T14:47:00.001+00:002016-11-05T14:47:25.029+00:00Feedback on Assignment 3The drawing blindfold project was weak and it was suggested that I look at the work of <a href="http://claudeheath.com/">Claude Heath</a>. There are some great loose free abstract lines and it was immediately apparent that I had given up on my drawings too quickly. This is a consistent theme with my work I need to keep pushing a failed drawing as perseverance is where the improvements and discoveries are made. I found Heaths work difficult to get close to without a written explanation but fortunately I found one <a href="http://www.claudeheath.com/texts/draw_proj_heath.pdf">here</a> and <a href="http://www.claudeheath.com/texts/article7.php">here</a>. The use of an anchor in the form of a blob of Blu Tac would definitely change the way that a blind drawing evolves. Heath also says "<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>skill in drawing was something to be on my
guard against, that it could replace meaningful content if you
were not careful" </i>This is a completely different approach to drawing to me, and maybe represents a more academic or educated approach to making art? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I had another go, first using the Blu Tac anchor and a random purple felt tip.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGXKdneHUTM3WTek-RuVujOeXuF6OfCxxkffDsdlCd6yX6v8dn6g-cj-um37lwYRKHpsv0k_KpZfGaoTuyXulpLoN6EfC8XMcuT-w67_UurRV8hmzfT_4bvgpU9mas1LSXrUoMh-Wd6X9s/s1600/blind+drawing.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="443" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGXKdneHUTM3WTek-RuVujOeXuF6OfCxxkffDsdlCd6yX6v8dn6g-cj-um37lwYRKHpsv0k_KpZfGaoTuyXulpLoN6EfC8XMcuT-w67_UurRV8hmzfT_4bvgpU9mas1LSXrUoMh-Wd6X9s/s640/blind+drawing.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The anchoring helped with the drawing of the lamp but its still stilted dull and squiggly. You might like it but I found it very unsatisfying. The thinner lines were Bic biro, still very squiggly but the computer mouse (mid right hand side) might hint at something more interesting. Part of the problem is that the drawings are too small, though if it gets too big I won't be able to stop myself seeing what I'm doing without some more technical equipment. These are biro again, about A3 size, I abandoned the Blu tac which was distracting me with it's stickiness;</span><br />

This one works best, the multiple lines give a feeling of movement and fractured views<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This is more like a bike but not detailed enough, again I stopped too soon. Once you've looked at the drawing the spell is broken and you can't continue in the same way, the relationship with the resumed drawing is different. In both drawings things worked best when I relinquished control and let my hand move freely from the arm rather than fiddling. I can see potential here but it still don't find the process of creation satisfying enough to hold my interest. I might try this again when I need a creative kick.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">For the Drawing Machines project my tutor suggested I look at </span><a href="http://www.timknowles.co.uk/Home/tabid/262/Default.aspx" style="font-family: inherit;">Tim Knowles </a> specifically his <a href="http://www.timknowles.co.uk/Work/TreeDrawings/tabid/265/Default.aspx">drawings made by trees</a> Its a great idea but I don't feel that they make enough movement to get an interesting enough trace. I prefer his drawings made by t<a href="http://www.timknowles.co.uk/Work/VehicleMotionDrawings/tabid/290/Default.aspx">he movement of cars</a> which create some interesting lines and curves, controlled but random, and the <a href="http://www.timknowles.co.uk/Work/Nightwalks/tabid/494/Default.aspx">Nightwalks</a> photos which are atmospheric and beautiful. The variety of his ideas are exciting.<br />
My tutor asked what is the role of the artist when using a drawing machine? They are the generator of the ideas but also the editor of the finished product, choosing what and what not to include. Photography plays an important role in this sort of art, documenting the project but also creating visually pleasing images of the set up which may be more interesting than the finished drawing. Again there is the theme of loosing control which makes a more fluid drawing and a more interesting response.<br />

A variety of projects around the theme of "<span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">threat, constraint, resistance and adaptation" <a href="http://barbaradougan.com/channelyourangst.html">Channel your angst</a> involves the </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">the participants </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">constructing of the web that constrains them. They seem to find it enjoyable, like a three dimensional </span>version<span style="font-family: inherit;"> of the childrens' game Twister. the project demonstrate how we create our own boundaries. There are some bold charcoal drawings in the film from her project <a href="https://vimeo.com/152050660">Fitting In</a> which involved occupying the Minories Art Gallery in Colchester. It is interesting how she takes the </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">drawings</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> project</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">further using film and performance. The smudgy results of her </span><a href="http://barbaradougan.com/actiondrawing240711.html" style="font-family: inherit;">Action Drawings</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> seem more valid when set alongside the film of her and Darren Ellis writhing in charcoal in the gallery and if this is viewed through the themes of constraint and resistance it is an understandable response. I became a bit impatient with the film, I preferred watching them <a href="https://vimeo.com/151013589">occupying the gallery</a> where different angles views and times are played out concurrently on a divided screen. It held my attention as I tried to link the action between the frames. I am interested in the </span>details of ordinary daily life which so often goes unnoticed and I <span style="font-family: inherit;">felt like a spy watching a security camera.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sticking with charcoal I was immediately attracted to Length(Fraction) it's even more interesting when you see <a href="https://vimeo.com/38558394">how it was made</a>, dramatic and physical. (Then I got distracted by geometric shapes at P<a href="https://uk.pinterest.com/source/polyhead.tumblr.com">olyhead</a>) There are different shapes made by different folds but you have to work through the <a href="http://www.schleicherlange.com/diogopimentao.aspx">websites</a> to see them. His work is very geometric and simple. There are some three dimensional sheets which peel off the wall.

<div style="text-align: left;">
I usually start my research by Googling the artist then looking at images to see if anything catches my eye. With Lucy Skaer I'm struggling a bit. A lot of busy looking images come up on first search. I did find <a href="http://thisistomorrow.info/articles/lucy-skaer-and-aurelien-froment">this piece about a film</a> which does sound interesting. I looked at her pages in <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Vitamin-New-Perspectives-Drawing-Themes/dp/0714845450">Vitamin D</a> which led me to a more interesting set of drawings. I'm squeamish and a bit disturbed by her drawings of corpses which feels like an imposition on the newly dead but if I forget that then <a href="http://www.aptglobal.org/en/Artwork/2994/The-Problem-in-Seven-Parts/Lucy-Skaer">A Problem in Seven Parts</a> is visually appealing. Should I be responding to the back story and the meaning of a piece or my gut reaction to what I see? The two are often very different. <a href="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/69/8a/14/698a145b5f12abd3c533e4d16d839514.jpg">this drawing</a> has similarities to Diorgo Pimentao's monochrome work, I'm not sure what it is called as I found it by Googling Bevelled Map 2004 which gives me a completely different set of pictures than what I have in my book.</div>

William Kentridge has appeared in the course at various times and it was great to see his work in real life rather than on a screen or in a book.<br />
<br />
The show consisted of drawings, books, tapestries, installations and animations and was mesmerising, I missed the get together discussion at the end because I was so engrossed in the films. The first room was the piece that I found most interesting. A mixture of a mechanical bellows that silently beat out time throughout the projection and a series of films which played out around the walls. I particularly liked the procession shadow figures which went from carnival mode to refugees and the soft feint lines used to define the different figures when they overlapped.. Thought provoking and topical. Kentridge packed a lot in to this piece and it would have been good to watch it through more than once as I'm sure that there were many details that I missed. It is said that his works political and I felt a tension in the pieces. A sense of unquiet and brooding storm. I suspect that there is a level of understanding of his works that can only be reached with a familiarity with politics, particularly South African politics, but without that knowledge it is possible to feel his frustration with an unequal regime and that is not confined to South Africa.<br />

He is clearly fascinated with how things appear when film is played backwards, maybe wishing to undo past actions or events. He also uses very simple techniques to get his message across, film in the style of flip books and animations made by erasing and redrawing. His drawings are bold, gestural, and lively. There was lots to think about in the way of techniques to convey a message.<br />
<br />
The erased charcoal animations were the most interesting technique and the project from the last section "An emotional response" wasn't very good. Referencing Kentridges technique I made a very short and rather poor quality video on my phone.<br />

There was a angled branch which made a good support for a sort of cairn of sticks, the sort of thing children and survivalists make on a large scale to shelter from the elements. Pleasingly it was still there when I walked the same woods a few days later.<br />
I tried a few tentative interventions, lining up sticks and tying fallen leaves to a branch which were uninspiring and difficult to photograph. Then I found this fallen branch which had a partial saw cut which supported a few twigs<br />

This is a bit better. It would be nice to gather a larger number of berries and fill a bigger hollow in another tree or better still a pothole in the road...<br />

<div class="column">
<span style="color: #6878ff;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Reflection:</span></span><span style="color: rgb(41.000000% , 47.000000% , 100.000000%); font-family: "quaysansitcstd"; font-size: 14.000000pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Make notes in your log about how you felt about making changes to the ‘real
world’. What were the frustrations, what were the successes? How do you think the way the
viewer experiences this kind of art differs from looking at drawings framed under glass? </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I found this difficult to do. I don't think that I have enough conviction in what I'm doing to have the courage to be caught in the act by random passers by. This is an ordinary suburban town where art is something other people do somewhere else. I'm likely to be arrested for loitering and suspected of intention to damage or steal something. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">It's also much harder than you would expect to come up with a simple, visually pleasing idea using just what you find around you. Ideas are coming slowly and I need to work through them to see if I can do something more effective.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Photography is a frustration. I draw because I can see and focus on what I wanted edit out what I don't like, what is not part of my preferred view. With photographs, although it is possible to manipulate them, the initial photograph has to show the bare bones of the subject which requires a different viewpoint, literally in that I need a ladder or a drone, and mentally in that I need to look at the world in a different way.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The successes are potentials at the moment, by opening my eyes to see the possibilities around me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I think that this sort of art is really important as a way to draw people in. Galleries can be seen as impenetrable and elitist but people who would not go into a gallery are exposed to art if they find it in the world around them. There is a sense of achievement or privilege in finding an unexpected piece of art as you go about your daily business. Work without a frame or a protective cover feels more part of the real world, you can touch it, it may be temporary, you could destroy it and nobody would stop you. Does that make the observer feel more protective of the work? More powerful? More involved?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i style="font-family: inherit;">Do you think that viewers will necessarily know that what you’ve done is art? </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">No. Children playing maybe, random accident in the case of the berries and the fungi. To be honest I don't think that most people would notice anything. Partly because the brief said <i>"</i></span></span><span style="font-family: "quaysansitcstd";"><i>make five different <u><b>small</b></u> drawn interactions
in the environment"</i></span><span style="font-family: "quaysansitcstd"; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">and they were small... and partly because people in general aren't very observant and will just amble past without noticing even quite big things ( I once met a doorman in a dock who hadn't noticed a 68ft boat moored outside....)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><u>Tutor feedback</u></b></span><br />

<div>
I don't think that I have successfully commented on any of the above with the possible exception of d) form. The works, with the exception of the footprints in the dew, are very small and relate more to my feelings of insecurity at being asked to work in public. They are tentative explorations of the concept of environmental interventions. Successful works will take into account at least one of the 5 points and probably more. To do this requires more planning, more confidence and a lot more consideration as to what I am trying to achieve by making them.</div>

Maggi Hambling at the British MuseumI've had a few days off this week so I've taken myself on some study visits. Today I went to the British Museum to see <a href="http://www.maggihambling.com/">Maggi Hambling</a>'s drawings in the exhibition <a href="http://www.britishmuseum.org/whats_on/exhibitions/maggi_hambling.aspx">Touch</a>. There are a few images <a href="http://uk.blouinartinfo.com/photo-galleries/maggi-hambling-at-british-museum?image=1">here</a> to give you a flavour of the exhibition. I confess that I knew already that I love Hambling's work so I'm predisposed to be positive.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I think that her drawings of people are more successful than her sea drawings but I guess the sea drawings are preparatory works for her <a href="http://blog.rowleygallery.co.uk/maggi-hambling-at-kensington-place/">paintings</a> which are brilliant but for me the drawings don't work as pieces in their own right.<br />
<br />
She makes many lines and marks to form a drawing as she feels her way around the shape of her subject but somehow she also manages to have an economical use of line to actually define the image. It appears that she works very fast which makes her drawings lively and energetic. Her drawings from memory are impressive and included a bull fight and her former tutor. She must have a fantastic visual memory.<br />
<br />
I copied a few drawings in my sketch book to get the feel of them. I was particularly interested in Tory looking down which has many light lines across her face. In my hands this would make her look aged and tired but Hambling has drawn a soft feminine portrait. I can't find an online reference and my copy really doesn't do the drawing justice, go see for yourself if you are in London.Cal Hoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15298612229115819096noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4319256230835183964.post-62915867312451000522016-09-29T21:49:00.000+01:002017-01-30T16:39:33.149+00:00Part 4 - Project 1 - Found images<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

I'm quite pleased with this. It does have a rather illustrative quality, I could see it as the cover of a book or part of the forest from a children's book with furry characters hiding. It is quite old fashioned in feel, sort of Toad of Toad Hall.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Reflection</u></b><br />
<br />
I didn't expect to but I've really enjoyed this exercise. It's a good way to find inspiration for new work and I think it could be a useful exercise when I'm uninspired and blocked to get me working again. The marks in nature are actually quite difficult to reproduce without making them look stilted and selfconcious, this is an encouragement to relax my hand and loosen up with my mark making.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Tutor feedback</u></b><br />
Suggested that I asked myself questions about the works;<br />
<br />
<div class="page" title="Page 2">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Why do I consider this a drawing/or not?</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This is contentious and the answer will depend on who you ask, but for me at the moment I define a drawing as being primarily about line. Something that is created by the artist thinking about the boundaries and edges rather than mass and volumes. This is why I don't classify the side of this lorry as a drawing.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXWyRNaMPdd4RIhetJ0robGDQ4wDUeGI1bhXnc8SKZ0wvLCl0OsWdVWZXmhBZDIEJB6yTmri4f4Hwo2ZUSJyhVc8LoQfFHesvbv-ULNl17Ky836iC77a3BLGGknx4wDOe-WiiRNkhElh64/s1600/IMG_1259.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXWyRNaMPdd4RIhetJ0robGDQ4wDUeGI1bhXnc8SKZ0wvLCl0OsWdVWZXmhBZDIEJB6yTmri4f4Hwo2ZUSJyhVc8LoQfFHesvbv-ULNl17Ky836iC77a3BLGGknx4wDOe-WiiRNkhElh64/s320/IMG_1259.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /><i>
Am I looking at the landscape differently?</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Yes. I'm drilling deeper into what I see, not just looking at the surface and the overall view but isolating elements and assigning different values and meaning to what I see there.</span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>
What is the difference between a found drawing and a studio drawing? </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In a found drawing you work with what you have. The art is in spotting the drawing, like a hidden shape in a children's comic. It's more like photography in that the basic elements are there whether you see them or not, they depend on the way that they are interpreted. A studio drawing is about control inventing shapes and lines, making decisions. The studio drawing may be of a found drawing but if that is the case then there is still potential for the artist to change the lines, adding something in or leaving it out. There is more choice, the lines are interpreted and translated with varying degrees of accuracy, either accidental or deliberate.</span><br />

<br />
Struggling to find anything much about Donald Urquhart and the link in the course notes no longer works. The only photo that I could find of Birked Scar was in <a href="http://committees.aberdeencity.gov.uk/Data/Resources%20Management%20Committee/20090310/Agenda/Dissolution%20of%20the%20Tyrebagger%20Trust%20and%20Future%20Management%20of%20the%20Tyrebagger%20Sculpture%20Trail%20-%20Report%20by%20Corporate%20Director,%20Lead%20for%20Environment%20and%20Infrastructure.pdf">this</a> report from 2009 about the dissolution of the trust that managed the sculpture trail. There are some discussions elsewhere online about some of the sculptures looking tired and a number of initiatives to revitalise it. I guess natural sculptures which are exposed to the elements (especially in Aberdeen) need care and attention if they are to survive. I found <a href="https://chris.fremantle.org/2013/08/">this</a> short piece about Glimpse in which he wrapped paper around tree trunks at the same level. This is a very simple idea which confuses the eye and makes the trees appear to float in space. There is something quite beguiling about the installation which I am struggling to pin down. He also made <a href="http://www.publicart.ie/en/main/directory/directory/view/linesplane-laruscygnus/fa284e5bc92108a1210d76d1fad5e00a/">Lines/Plane; Larus/Cygnus</a> which is difficult to fully appreciate from photographs. There are some more photos <a href="http://www.sligoarts.ie/media/booklet.pdf">here</a> with a descriptive explanation by Gavin Morrison. I wonder if the swans are using the plinth to nest. Donald Urquhart seems to have had some success with <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2010/apr/21/artist-donald-urquhart">drawings of film stars</a> (a more comprehensive list <a href="http://www.saatchigallery.com/artists/artpages/donald_urquhart_dors.htm">here</a>) which are very graphic. Again there is a simplicity about his work, pared down, with no unnecessary detail, I suspect that they may have influenced <a href="http://www.daviddownton.com/#">David Downton</a>, however his drawings are glamorous whereas Donald Urquhart's show the unglamourous and rather seedy side of celebrity. I don't know enough about the back story of Urquhart's fallen stars to understand all the references that he makes but as a group the portraits are rather depressing.<br />
<br />
In the absence of anything concrete about Birked Scar I looked at <a href="http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2016/05/ash-dome-david-dash/">David Nash's Ash Dome</a> which sounds like it may be something similar. Ash Dome is clearly a labour of love tend by the artist over many years, I feel that a choice has to be made with environmental art whether the weathering process (and inevitable ultimate destruction) is part of the evolution of the piece or something to be staved off with maintenance. It's intriguing that the site should be so secret and maybe that is some of the charm of the piece. There have been some lovely photographs taken of the trees over the years which fully utilise the differences of the piece made by the weather and the seasons. In 2013 he had an <a href="http://www.kew.org/sites/default/files/assets/KPPCONT_059984_Primary.pdf">exhibition at Kew</a>. The nature of his work is shaped by the wood that he uses and it's good to see that he uses fallen trees and dead wood as his starting point rather than killing living trees.<br />
<br />
I'm not so excited by <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2012/jun/15/richard-long-swinging-60s-interview">Richard Long</a>'s <a href="http://www.richardlong.org/Sculptures/2011sculptures/linewalking.html">A line made by walking</a> but you can see his process of thought as he moves on to make lines (and other shapes) with other arranged materials. His work seems to be more about the thought process and the ideas behind a piece and less about the look of the finished image (or the photograph) though <a href="http://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/long-a-line-in-the-himalayas-t12035">A line in the Himalayas</a> is beautiful.<br />
Incidentally, whilst researching for the next project I found a "Line Made by Water" which is entirely natural and scoured into the track by a recent storm.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_GFKgoEw250zXQF6au5k_SGow85ayKsrI6pCf_nru2J7U_dx5u9YYzg5mBbIUsH3t_hJfUfY2EEzTOrroPQ4vuHiiVMUaiJ4uHxjeHqAzpSmd6Ojk9v7K232CcdGsCasfB3CtFuJTVidm/s1600/IMG_1991.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_GFKgoEw250zXQF6au5k_SGow85ayKsrI6pCf_nru2J7U_dx5u9YYzg5mBbIUsH3t_hJfUfY2EEzTOrroPQ4vuHiiVMUaiJ4uHxjeHqAzpSmd6Ojk9v7K232CcdGsCasfB3CtFuJTVidm/s320/IMG_1991.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
It links with <a href="http://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/long-waterlines-al00205">Waterlines</a> which intrigue me. They are so delicate for something made by mud. I assume that the black lines are the black paper but where did he hold the paper? there should be finger marks, and how did he keep the paper safe while travelling, avoiding folding it or rubbing the mud off it?<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.tony-cragg.com/?/sculptures/1970-1979">Tony Cragg</a> seems to have moved away from the practice of land art but his early works are developed from quite simple ideas, I have a tendency to overcomplicate things and bring in too many elements. The figures in the photographs date them and are a distraction from the ideas (back in the 1970's we made art with stones)<br />
I prefer his drawings <a href="http://www.tony-cragg.com/works_on_paper.php">http://www.tony-cragg.com/works_on_paper.php</a> the repetitive lines and the way that they flow. Again the simplicity of the idea, repeated to emphasise it. You feel that you are looking into a vortex. After I had written this I went to the<a href="http://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/cragg-stack-t07428"> Tate</a> and found that <a href="http://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/news-photo/tate-employee-walks-past-the-artwork-stack-1975-by-tony-news-photo/540077072?#tate-employee-walks-past-the-artwork-stack-1975-by-tony-cragg-in-the-picture-id540077072">Stack</a> is currently on display.<br />

<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Goldsworthy">Andy Goldsworthy</a>'s work is discussed <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/art/features/andy-goldsworthys-ephemeral-works-artwork-that-is-a-testament-to-passing-time-a6694826.html">here in The Independent</a> and <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2007/mar/11/art.features3">here in The Guardian</a>. He produces work that is more visually appealing than the other listed artists. It is more colourful and looks like something anyone could have done if they had thought of the idea. So often art is critiqued because it is something that anyone could do, yet I haven't seen that criticism levelled at Goldsworthy, is that because he generally manipulates the environment and sells the photos rather than making permanent works? Or is it because we know that we do not have such clever ideas and it is his ideas that he is selling. <a href="https://historiesdrawingsprints.com/courses/thewilderness/contemporary-works/">This</a> website has a number of images of works by artists that I have studied with OCA I found it while I was looking for a good picture of <a href="http://www.nga.gov/content/ngaweb/exhibitions/permanent/goldsworthy_roof.html">Roof</a> in the National Gallery in Washington DC which I was lucky to see for myself last year. They haven't shown a great photo in their description and I didn't take my own photo. <a href="https://theartattack.wordpress.com/2011/09/19/up-on-the-roof-andy-goldsworthy/">This</a> website has a better image. The structures appear to seep through the glass co existing with it but also defying it. Is it saying that the natural world will prevail against our flimsy man made structures?<br />

In a woodland near me someone has installed a number of little doors in the bases of old trees which have been coppiced. There's another one that I forgot to photograph which says tooth fairy on it. They may be a bit twee but I find them charming. Is this art? The doors are beautifully made and sympathetically installed. It is bringing materials in to change the environment so I guess it's not quite the same as Goldsworthy's work but it does make you stop and look and maybe see the woodland in a different way?<br />

Cornelia Konrads work <a href="http://www.cokonrads.de/index.php/home/portfolio/site-specific-works/12-passage-2007">Passage</a> appeared on <a href="http://www.thisiscolossal.com/">Colossal</a> I love the way that it stops you in your tracks as you try and make sense of what you are looking at.
