Graphics Evaluation

 

In this project our theme was ‘street style’ meaning everyday clothes; we investigated different types of street style clothing from blogs and used drawing techniques such as outline, not taking the pencil of the paper, continuous line to copy a image. We then created a mood board of our everyday clothes such as shoes, jumpers, tops, jeans etc this was in a way to show the types of clothes/shoes I wear. Our next task was to choose four blogs; within them blogs we had to choose four images

We then had to choose four different set of images from Chictopia we had a choice on what images we wanted to choose but it had to have a category such as dresses, jeans, trainers etc. After we had to trace or draw the images straight in to our book these would be our thumbnail sketches. We then had to use a set of images that we chose and pick one image from there and do different technique samples such as ink, watercolour, colour pencils etc. This then helped me to choose which technique I liked the most; which was the colour pencils. I choose this technique in particular because I like the way the artist Agnes Decourchelle uses this art material in her work to show people it isn’t a dull/boring material to use. I really like the way she expresses the use of colour pencils like the direction of the way she colours/ the way she can also blends the colours.

After choosing to use colour pencils I then measured 13cm across and 18cm down I did this 3 times, this is where I traced my images on to from the tracing paper. I did have a problem well using colouring pencils due to the fact I wasn’t feeling well so my concentration wasn’t 100%. This then affected how my work looked in the end. If I were to change anything I would have either used colour pencils/watercolours or watercolours only because watercolours the colours are strong which will make the image look much brighter in a way.  Also the layout of the images I would have putted the two best ones I liked first.
