About the Author - Workshop 1
Why I chose the author?
- Unconventional
- Humorous
- Imaginative
- Backwards thinking
- Different
This task made me think a lot more about me and the author rather than the book. I think this was a good task to make you stop and actually think about why you like the author and why you chose them in the first place. It made me realise that I chose my author based on the kind of people that I like talking to and who make me laugh.
IMAGES (MARK MAKING)
This isn't usually my kind of thing of 'expressing myself through marks', but I did find it quite therapeutic. I do like doing tasks that aren't just sitting down and drawing something conventional. It made me think a lot more about how I moved the pen/brush to create a certain mood.
DRAW MOTIF (IMAGE)
Because I already had kind of drawn some motifs already, this task wasn't too complicated for me. Although, I do struggle a lot with composition and drawing a still frame of a scene. But, seeing as this was only a little task, I didn't want to overcomplicate things for myself, so just went for something simple. When Teresa told us to use an opposite colour for the mood of the situation - this for me was kind of a breaking point. It made me realise that by using completely different colours, it totally changes the mood, and for me, it reflects my author's abstract personality. So this really got me thinking and experimenting.
GROUP IMAGE
This task was something a little different and fun, which I quite enjoyed. I'm not too sure of the purpose of this though, maybe just some fun. But I guess it focuses on character design and how to quickly make a new character which no one else would every be able to think of. Mostly humorous, but of course there's nothing wrong with that.
