The idea of working simply with shape was daunting at first. I struggled to adapt to working this way, when I'm usually use line work.
In my initial pen work i unsuccessfully attempted shape. - although there were qualities of block colour, too many lines were used to describe the subject. however, i eventually forced myself to break down and simplify the images when beginning to use cut paper.
- I feel that these pieces have been much more successful. - it would have been nice to produce a lot more examples, of refined quality, but its a media choice i haven't partially worked with in this way before, using this pushed me to use bolder shapes, and the most simplistic forms.
- then tried working in coloured pencil in block shape, - now i felt be able to separate and simplify the information effectively. i like the way these pieces turned out. - although still block shape i really like the textured quality the pencil gives.
- I found the challenge in this task is about making that choice of selecting the most relevant and important aspects of the subject to interpret. I have enjoyed working with shape, i feel if spent more time on this i could have really got into it.- not using an outline forced me to think differently, and be more considerate about the information i was interpreting.
- I am interested in exploring shape and paper cut in future. It would be interesting to see how far you can push the use of simplistic forms. - how little information is needed for the subject to still be recognisable?
- also beginning to experiment with adding textures which i found interesting, and would like to develop further.
