August 2016

A little late, but earlier this week on Tuesday was a full day of mark making!

The point was to create textures, lines, patterns with whatever we could get our hands on. So I brought a packet of instant noodles, as well as a handful of almonds and macadamia nuts!

Learning point: Don’t ever bring food items that could get soggy again. Noodles were kinda a bad idea (‘-‘)

I also borrowed a container, a roller and experimented mostly with Chinese ink through the day. Halfway through, I started to mix some white gouache I found in my pencil case with the Chinese ink.

It became more solid – and definitely easier to work with!

(Pure Chinese Ink VS Chinese Ink mixed w/ White Gouache!)

A list of other things I tried or learnt:
-Throwing Chinese ink (It goes everywhere; please make sure no one is beside you; I’M SORRY NICOLE!)
-Drawing with a strand of Maggie Mee (It gets soggy really quickly and breaks)
-Mark making with, and throwing macadamias and almonds (Almonds roll and create a squiggly effect!)
-Dipping a seasoning pack with ink and drawing with the jagged edges – looks like water ripples!

-Also: cling wrap is your best friend
-3D stuff are not the best tools to print with (;u;)
-Any ink you put on your hand will come stay with you for the next 1 week or so.
-Personal reminder to take more photos and videos (;v;)
