Studio Brief 1 - What is drawing? MARK MAKING AND TONE Visual Subject

APPLIED MARKS

Following on from the generation of marks and studio task, I have practiced these marks applied to my visual subject. As an exercise in exploring the application of marks and the functionality of marks, these drawings work well to demonstrate the tone of voice and texture that can be achieved from mark making approaches. However, in attempting to explore multiple mark making devices, I feel these images lack clarity and consistency. 

CLARITY THROUGH COLLAGE
Referring back to the house design I made, applying mark making though collage, the outcome achieved much better clarity through cut shapes, allowing marks to operate their own space without the interference of clashing qualities. The collaging approach therefore seems appropriate to the use of mark making, as a means of using textural curiosities in a way that maintains readability and form. 

A weakness of these drawings I think is the use of too many media within one image. It would be interesting to explore the effect of one media on mark making across a single image and how this alters the immediacy and readability of the image.
