Group Crit
One of my latest pieces
(Untitled, ink wet on wet charcoal and graphite on paper, A1)
Points made during my crit
- my drawing are ghost like
- lack of colour, empty spaces and blotches are working well
- resemble heart beats
- recording of movement is effective
- visually how you would see crowds if they were only noise and shadow
- they are very simplified images, focusing on shape, sound creating movement of life
- emphasis on shadows
- choice in materials are working, my ideas are taking off
- black and white is good; helps to reflect the subject matter
Suggestions
- look at different crowds in terms of shape and density
- experiment with the reverse; positive/ negative
- thinking of presentation; produce ideas onto card or thick paper?
- look at work as collectives and whole pieces
- could add string or wire to the ideas?
- try adding hints of colour; tertiary grays
