For this task, I chose to reflect on both Talking Colour and Seeing Pattern. The purpose was to produce an in-depth body of research focusing on surroundings, perspective, exploration and investigation.
Talking Colour enabled me to investigate ‘viewpoint’ rather than drawing from a direct image. Emphasising on nature’s own patterns, buildings architectural forms, street arts euphoric sensations and random trinkets found lying around all encapsulate the views of Talking Colour that I show clear evidence of in the blogs. Challenges that were raised during this process were not being able to think of ways to show perspective and investigation of the images produced. I surrounded myself too much into the ‘viewpoint’ of colour and not enough research of how I can use that and develop it further into a design. For future, I will take the time to explore the images more by using different mediums of illustration and perhaps mix them together to create a wider range of designs.
Responding to Seeing Pattern, I went to a forest in Hampstead Heath and Kenwood House to explore different aspects and characteristics within pattern itself. Taking elements such as tree sap, moss pond, webbing from a spider, cracks from marbled tiles and even tapestry from the 1800’s all link to the complexity of seeing pattern. I really felt I strived in challenging these perceptions by exploring different mediums to achieve image manipulation, zooming in and out, angles of images and also how they can be linked to all forms of life. Challenges faced were sticking to a colour palette throughout the exploration of Seeing Pattern. Next time I will be more expressive in colour choices and experiment what the drawing would look like if it were done in colour opposite to what it is. What perception will it give? How will it differ to the palette already chosen?
To conclude, both Talking Colour and Seeing Pattern explores a wide range of evaluation presented in a clear and developed manner. Both having their own challenges, I feel I am better prepared for future tasks as I now know how I can improve on my drawing skills and how to investigate them on a matured level.
