In our group, we are drawing individually so we can combine our drawings together, we will temporarily stick drawings down so we can create a mock design and change compositions. As a group, we have decided that we will draw from objects that have interested us over the last few days that link to a loose theme of nature.

- Lauren: jewellery, flowers,
- Amber: bees, honeycomb/nests and leaf printing
- Me: dreamcatcher feathers, shells
- Shiv: cactus texture, shells

We think the contrast between Lauren's geometric flowers and my marks from feathers and shells will look considered and interesting.
Using a combination of drawing strategies is really helping me create different marks. Drawing isn't my strongest skill but I find that working large and loose helps me with considering shape, line and texture.  Observational drawing has worked extremely well for me as I feel the pen does the work for me whilst I look at the object in detail (I need to use this technic throughout the year!).


TO DO:
Scan/photocopy/enlarge real honeycomb/bees nest and transfer that to tracing paper or kodatrace
Create a mini mock up of repeat design tomorrow (combining everyone's drawings)
Look into colour palettes as a group
