I started working towards my final 6 art pieces, of which i experimented with even more mediums and art making tools as shown on the pictures above.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As following, the mark making tools that I used were hamster food, a plastic wrapper and small stones.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also experimented using blue-tack and a small vase to make the marks as blue tack allows me to create more accurate and intricate marks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After experimenting with various mark making tools and the attaching an emotion to each of these 36 pieces, I brought it for consultation during tutorial.

After the consultation, I realized that some of my work do indeed have repetitive patterns thus making the work look rigid and not so appealing. Thus, with the comments that the lecturer mentioned during consultation, I made changes and re-did some of the art pieces so as to improve further from my current work!

 

 

 

 

 

 

For part 1 of this project, I first started with the experimentation of different mark making tools. I brought various items like, various types of sponges, brushes, velcros, markers, pens, spray bottles to try mark making.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I experimented with cross hatching, splatters, shapes and patterns using the mark making tools that i have brought. Of which, I learnt that sometimes some mark making tools would really surprise me with the types of marks that it can create. An example would be the U-shaped coconut fiber brush which gave the marks a fur like look.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was also given a chance to experiment with lino thus I started to carve out patterns on the lino print to create these marks.  It took me some time before I got used to cutting the lino using the cutting tools but it was a great experienced and really enjoyed being able to experiment mark making using lino!
