Week 1 Day 2

During this week we worked upon two workshops which involved, free experimental drawing, and mannequin display regarding our three chosen words where I had chosen to go with Man Ray, Capture, and Brave as I felt that in a way the two words go hand in hand if thought upon in a way of taking in a freeze framing a moment; not being afraid to explore what around you and going over our limits, which as well I felt was a great example presented in Man Rays word as he captures everything and is not one to shy away reaching his limits even it does cause controversy and shocking his viewers, which I feel is a great inspiration.  

Nonetheless in regards to the workshops I started with free experimental drawing. With this workshop I used a variety of different supplies and materials, including Chalk, Pastels, Pen, Ink pen, and so on. In regards to this work shop I really wanted to explore with color and really let loose when drawing as I am one to prefer detailed and sharp drawing as opposed to it flowing so for me this workshop was very enjoyable as I was able to do just that and let my hand roam free upon the paper experimenting with a range of markings.

The second workshop that I did was the mannequin display. With this workshop we were given three different fabrics with one of them being stretchy and we had to experiment with shapes and structure then sketch it and so on. I really enjoyed this work shop as I was able to explore ways of really taking advantage of the materials by playing around with its fabric; exceeding its limits and exaggerating it's frame, while using it to express what I feel my three words mean to me which really broadened my design ideas.
