Day 1 was focused on outlines and silhouettes, whether that being of a singular object or a group of objects. My favourite activity of the day was creating dot-to-dots of one of our objects and then having a partner complete it. I particularly enjoyed this task because it’s a lot easier to create the dots than to complete one. When you’re creating the dot-to-dot, you have the object in front of you so you know how it’s going to look and which order the dots go in, yet when you are presented with the dots, you have absolutely no idea where to start so the results were quite magnificent. I didn’t enjoy drawing with adjectives, for example, ‘what would my object look like if it was hot?’ I found that activity very challenging. Creating the hybrids at the end, however, was very enjoyable. Combining the different techniques used as well as suing different objects from the box each time, created some fabulous patterns, again, another way that I had never considered drawing.
