5. • I want you to think thought about how we can
use paper in a different way

and historical for inspiration
• There is a common thread- ORGANIC FORMS
which will be the theme of today’s workshop...

14. Natural forms starter
“Twombly’s gestural mark-making
inevitably evokes the problem of
how to visually represent speech;
the paintings’ most obvious likeness
is to graffiti-covered walls, and he
often uses pencil in addition to
paint. The marks comprise an
expansive lexicon of
handprints, tracing, big sweeps of
the arm, furious doodles, languid
meanders, bored
inscriptions, anxious erasures and
more.”
• Scribble as hard as you can on the
paper
• Make delicate marks- hardly there
• Combine the 2 think of it as making
your own language
15. Cy Twombly
• This way of working reminds me of
something I read about Cy
Twombly, who reportedly
practiced drawing in the dark
when he was drafted into the army
and worked as a cryptographer in
1953. Having seen “primitive”
mark-making in North Africa, he
was intent on recovering the
directness of the
unschooled, unselfconscious artist.
16. Blind drawing 15mins
• Learning Objective; to draw using
touch and feel as a starting
point, to be bold, and
experimental
• Feel what is in the bag and then
draw it on the paper
• You may find it easier to close your
eyes
• Don’t worry about what it looks
like, the whole point of this is to
create a different kind of drawing
17. Descriptive drawing 15mins
• Get into pairs
• Take it in turns to describe the
object to each other
• Keep the object in the bag so the
person drawing is not tempted to
look!
• Think about the language you are
using
• You need to be as descriptive as
possible
• Size
• Texture
• Line
• Shape
• Colour

3.Carrying on experimenting
and preparing to create main
sculpture.
Drawings for sculpture, as you
create your work you need to
annotate how you are creating it on
your visual brainstorm double page.
Show the mistakes, and the
experiments, no artist can make
exactly what they want the first
time they try! you must show your
