On our recent Friday drawing day we were working within time limitations to draw 'blind' a selection of objects on the tables for us. Kate wanted us to think about how we hold and move the pencil when we draw, and how we see the object by making us draw without looking at the page in a series of different ways (lighter, heavier, quick, slow). The final drawing of the day was a compilation of various blind drawings which we then had to block out the negative space, changing how we would perceive the image. Although the sample and drawing on show do not necessarily have immediate connections, I feel that the drawing exercise has informed me on notions of positive and negative, which I then developed through this checked fabric I found, blocking out alternate lines with the contrasting colour.
