We were working at quite a fast pase, creating many pieces of A1 artworks. There was a really good working vibe in the room. The print room floor and walls quickly became full of paper filled with marks.
It was amazing to see everybody's work hung up on the walls and to see how diverse all the markmaking drawings were. Even though we all had the same instructions, to make marks with black and white paint, it was interesting to see how everybody had their individual handwriting of such just by making marks. I think because it was in black and white it was easier to identify this factor.
Stephen said something along the lines of 'drawing/mark making like this is when the individuality of each artist truly comes out, unlike when drawing an object that's infront of you which any other person can similarly draw...'
Seeing the diversity of everyone's work on the wall helped me understand that there was truth in what he was saying.
I thoroughly enjoyed the session even though it was quite intense and tiresome as Stephen Wright pushed us to work out of our comfort zone in order to take risks. I like the result of my work and I aim to continue this process for some of my final major project.
Here are some of the marks I made...
