Group Activity

We all picked a piece of work from our sketchbooks that we thought best represented where we currently were at with our personal investigation. We chose an aspect of this piece to inspire us to draw something on the large piece of paper in front of each of us. Then we moved places for about 10 minutes, sometimes by one seat and sometimes by several and used our chosen piece of work and the work that was already on the paper done by other people to continue drawing on top of the original pieces. We then collaborated to make all of the large separate pieces of paper into one big group piece.

This was the first piece that I drew.

This was the piece of work done by someone else before I added to it.

This was the piece once I had added to it. I was very hesitant at first, I wasn't too sure on what to draw and was worried about ruining someone else's work.



This was the next piece after I added to it. I was less hesitant about drawing over this piece as I had slowly began to get more confident with what we were doing.

This was the next piece before I added to it. Our teacher asked us to consider using other areas of the page as well instead of just focusing on the area already drawn on.

This was the piece after I drew on it. I decided to focus on line and texture but tried to stick to the similar style that was already drawn on the paper so that . Me and the person next to me also collaborated a little and started to edge out onto each others pieces of paper.

The final outcome was very abstract, with the majority of it being charcoal, other mediums used were pen, graphite and pencil. It was difficult to capture the pencil in the photographs as it was very light. I really liked the final outcome and thought that all of the pieces worked well together in the positions we had placed them. As a class we discussed where we thought pieces best went together to make it a group effort.
