50 Drawings Project

One of the mini projects on foundation was called "50 Drawings" we were given fifty phrases all about colour such as;

• Blue movie
• Black as night
• Green with envy
• Yellow belly
• Seeing red
• Purple Prose
• White hot
• Silver screen

There were more inspiring phrases and proverbs but these were what I could remember. The idea of the project was to explore colour, use an imaginative variety of techniques/mediums. (pencils were banned!) and come up with creative subjects.

Fifty large drawings seemed quite daunting, looking back I wish I'd been less worried and more free with my approach to the task. In the end I was pleased with a number of the drawings, I learnt new things about mark making and enjoyed experimenting with a huge variety of drawing materials.
