So we were asked to bring 2 mark making tools each for the first mark making lesson last week, and I decided on a comb and a straw. However, I realized that we could use many of our daily used items/almost anything lying around as mark making tools as well :-) The following pictures are here to document what I had done on the first lesson!
& These were all done with Chinese calligraphy ink & black paint!
Using the teeth of the comb (Startled)
Using the comb just as a ‘brush’
Splattering of ink using the comb
Blowing of ink through a straw (Startled – but to be sharper)
(Annoyed)
Just using the straw as a ‘brush’ (Panic)
Using the bendable part of the straw (Panic)
Cutting up the straw into 5 parts (as if a fan)
Use of fingers (Hysteria)
Use of palette knife
Left: Using a palette knife
Right: Finger prints (Infatuation)
Use of crushed tissue paper (Infatuation)
Use of roller
Making use of a strand of hair… hahahhaa
(Longing – but can have less lines)
Tried Symmetry Print but did not work out as I’d like it to :-( So decided to mess it up (smudged it) a little bit after that!
Ended the lesson with that and feeling excited to try out more tools
