PERSPECTIVE

Understanding Perspective and creating a story(of our first day in Srishti) using it. Brief idea of what tessellation is.

REFLECTION
We had to rely on our memory and imagination since we didn't have anything as a reference . Had to scratch my brains a lot to remove threads of memory to create a shell for the drawing. I always show more than one frame in a story for different events and motion but in this i wanted to try and fit it in one frame. The first time i stepped in the college i knew no one except my roommate. Hence the faceless people.

DRENCHED

Water kept on falling on our drawing sheets like Niagara falls as we did 'wet on wet' water painting followed by a still life done by dry water painting method.
 

REFLECTION
I felt like a kid dipping my hands in ,colour and water and moving it across the paper like a brush. I didn't anticipate pouring water onto the paper and distorting the image again and again could bubble up excitement and joy within me.I enjoyed it the most! 

BALLET OF LIGHT

          To learn different tones of pencil in order to capture the light cast onto an inflated black bag, for that our task was to shade a strip with different tones using only HB pencil.

































REFLECTION
Patience, movement and pressure on the pencil, observation and time were some few elements that came in handy while sketching the black bag. Bringing out the shine, the shadow of the light and the creases formed by the weight of the rope tied around its mouth was a challenge since the light didn't sit still and kept on changing as time passed.

FORM

          Making straight lines and 'Z' by joining dots, getting the flow by scribbling an '8' over and over again was the first exercise.

          Two minute sketches to capture the form and then scaling it up. Lastly a self portrait to capture both the form and detail.

     REFLECTION

           The restriction of not being able to erase a mistake when making small sketches directly with a pen was a bit terrifying but after doing for a while it helped built up my confidence. I felt at ease, a little more confident while scaling up the image, even though the lines, proportion was not perfect this exercise helped loosen up my hand and polished my observation.
           I thoroughly enjoyed doing the life size portrait, i felt free.But at the same time it turned out to be a serial killer of our fragile backs!

IMAGE

Isolating something in a photograph, grouping it later and creating a motif out of it and then repeating it to form a pattern and in conclusion create a new image from it.




REFLECTION
 I like smashing different things together, playing with the image but i struggle with digital work. I could visualize what i wanted but found it difficult to translate it. My fear for computers since I was a kid might be a reason. But i liked it nevertheless
