Scaling up

Working in studio spaces and on desks means most people - including myself - tend to work on small scales most if the time. The purpose of this drawing project is to encourage us to think about working on much larger scales than we are used to, challenging ourselves and our methods of designing. A day with John Bentley forced us to turn a tiny thumbnail image onto a sheet of a1. This is my drawing: a lot of lines!

Like the first drawing day, the final piece was a collaborative effort, using 49 sheets of a1 in total, to make this amazing version of a classic illustration of Adam and Eve.

A drawing day with Charlotte Mann followed on this task, as we were asked to enlarge a section of a print or an interesting weave from a few centimetres to a metre by a metre: ALOT bigger than I am used to working! This task was a challenge, not only due to the size of the paper but the task of making the enlargement as accurate as possible was quite difficult!
