Week 2 - Day 3 of Exhibition in Spaceport - Final Exhibition

Today We have had our final exhibition. We have set it up like we have planned using the boxes as columns, with doodles on sides. Presenting our sketchbooks on top. We have also displayed work of people that uploaded their sketches on Instagram hash-tag.

During the day we had a workshop from local illustrator about drawing perspectives. His confidence, speed and accuracy in drawing was truly amazing!

Continuing doodling on our boxes. Making them look presentable.

We have also had an exercise where we have proven drawing can be made using any material that is by hand. Like pen, yellow paint and our hands!

Day 4 - Design and Curate

After doing the sketch walks we have decided to concentrate and gather ideas on how to create an exhibition from 25 boxes we have available. We had some requirements like It had to be taken easily apart and put back together. We have agreed on making columns from the boxes and displaying the work on them.

Me and the team we have got split into have started working on the final output which is a booklet. Gathering everyone drawings and arranging it together in in-design. Booklet of our Journey!

Day 5
Sketch Event with Manchester Urban Sketches - Chorlton Art Festival

Listening to live music, feeling the atmosphere of the festival and sketching. Stimulating experience.
There was a lot of people walking past. I had to be confident about what I am doing and answer the questions of people. This was hard for me.

Week 2 - Day 1 of Exhibition in Spaceport

We started with doodling on the boxes we have been using to exhibit our work. As part of decoration.
We have also did a quick task where everyone was split into groups of 6 with an a4 paper each. One of us had to say a word, then draw it and pass our paper clockwise to the next person. We had to make the words fit together to create an image/story. This task stimulated us to think and come up with new possible ideas.
