Reflection

The first relationship evident in my work across the three workshops is that we were asked to analyse space in different ways in the three workshops. In Atlas of Colour, it was done by looking at the use of colours in spaces and through the creation of the tunnel which utilised 2d planes to create a 3d spatial effect. In Material Modelling, we analysed space through the ‘Body, Space, City’ exercise and by creating models. In Architecture in Motion, we did this by creating an animation about a spatial setting in the Red Centre.

Further, I noticed that there was a focus on hand drawing and the manipulation of those hand drawings within the workshops. In Atlas of Colour we used software to modify hand drawn images as in the Face Map exercise. Also, in one of the exercises, we created a gouache painting and then recreated that painting using different materials like string, grass, plastic etc. In Material Modelling, I used a combination of charcoal drawings and balsawood in my final A2 collage. I modified my charcoal drawings by overlaying them with manipulated balsawood. In Architecture in Motion hand drawing was used to capture the spatial essence of the Red Centre and then software was used to modify the drawings and also to put them in a sequential order to tell a story.
