The painted line part 2


 In the second part of the workshop we were asked to disregard secondary resources in favour of our own imagination ;again using the methods we encountered in part 1. During the Painted line series it became evident that  this workshop was not created  to build on the knowledge I already have. But rather, going through a sequential process of re-learning the fundamentals of drawing in order to create more well informed approach to image making. To begin, Rob presented the class with a written narrative. the aim of the task was to extract the key elements and illustrate.  After reading the narrative, my first thought was to draw the first thing that popped into my mind.  For example the  some builders and motorcyclists were mentioned.  It did not even occur to me to deconstruct the "builders" identity. Meaning - what are the common characteristics of a builder? what would they usual wear and if so - what?  Being introduced to this sequential thought process made this task more enjoyable as up till then, I mostly produced compositions that were influenced by secondary resources. Creating compositions using this allowed me to think more critically about my work
