2D I Foundation, G7, (AY2016/17 Sem 1)

Here are my mark making tools:

1.
I wound together a ball of wool and wound more thing string on top of it to create more textures with the print.

2.
I tore up gift paper into small pieces and bunched it all together to form a “paper brush”

3. Chinese brush

Ink used: Chinese Ink
