1 Session, 9.00-12.30
Aims: The process of Mark-Making underpins all 2D visual communication so this exercise kicks off the unit and will start you thinking of different ways to illustrate your ideas and thoughts using a variety of materials such as ink, paint, pencil, oil pastel, in fact, anything which leaves a mark on the paper. During this session you will be able to produce 20 drawings using mark making to describe the following words: Wind, rain, twirl, custard, happy, sad, anger, crunch, heat, freezing, porridge, love, eat, chocolate, water, cloud, dust, hair, rice krispies, smoke. Objectives: Be able to use 2D mark-making techniques Be able to communicate design ideas using 2D visual communication techniques Be able to use formal elements in 2D visual communication. Steps: Step 1: Diploma in Art & Design level 2
First we are going to do a bit of speed dating‌. In your sketchbook produce a mind map of ways in which you can do mark making based from the processes you have gathered during speed dating. Support the descriptive words with the technique. (P2, M3, D3) Step 2: Take your A1 paper and mark out 20 equal areas as shown
Step 3: Write your name on the back of the sheet before starting work. This will ensure we find your work on the drying rack once your work has dried. Step 4: Write the word that you are describing at the top of each box. Step 5: Use mark making to draw / describe each word in turn. Be experimental! (P1, P3, M1, M2, D1, D2) Step 6: In your journal explain what mark making technique you have used.( P2, M3, D3) Outcomes: Mind map in sketchbook of different ways you can make marks. A1 sheet with 20 drawings. Suggested Reading/ Research: Artists/ Designers: Cy Twombley, Matthew Ritchie, Dan Perjovschi Books: Look at General art books in the library and begin finding artists that you like and keep a note in your sketchbook / journal. You could even start to build a bank of artists and images that interest you in your file. Vitamin D – New Perspectives in Drawing. art to get your creative juices flowing.
This is in the Library! Lots of yummy, scrummy
Resource Requirements: Full Art box. You need as a group to source your materials appropriate to your design. Studio resources will be available. Health and Safety: You will need to use your understanding of health and safety to maintain a safe and secure Diploma in Art & Design level 2
environment and act responsibly yourselves and with others in your team as well as the other groups and lecturers. You should ensure that you follow the health and safety rules within the studio and college setting, creating an environment that is empathetic to those around you.
