During this workshop different types of music were played and we had to draw to the music using different types of line. In the top left image we used zig zag and looped lines (this was drawn using a stick in ink), in the top right image we used waved lines (drawn using pencil), in the bottom left image we used dotted and angular lines (drawn using ink and a paintbrush) and in the final image we could use whatever line we choose to fit with the song. Next we had to take one of the images we had created and use it as a basis for some sort of animal or person. As no animals immediately came to mind when looking at my pictures I decided to draw an abstract creature. I enjoyed this exercise as success was not measured by how well you could draw. It was a technique that allowed me to create images quickly without thinking too much about what the end piece was going to look like. It was also good that we got to try out different drawing techniques as opposed to the usual pen and paper. This meant I could see what materials make certain strokes and which ones I might use in other projects.
The second half of the session was dedicated to playing the 'Consequences game', where one person draws the head, then passes the paper onto the next person who draws the body and finally to the third person who draws the legs. We had to spend a maximum of 8 minutes on each section and then move three places to the right to continue drawing the next section. After we had done this we put all of the characters up onto the wall. It was interesting to see how certain themes emerged within individual characters despite the fact that we had not seen what the others had drawn. Just by looking at the characters there was a general consensus as to which of them were the 'good guys' and which of them were the 'bad guys'.
