Day8// Exhibition Build

Day8// It is exhibition day. We showed our sketchbooks on those doodled boxes and hanged up some sketches from 5th year seniors with clips and strings. And also a local illustrator Phillip Chin shared some drawing techniques with us which can benefit on our future architecture study.

Day7// We continued doodling on our boxes. Then we had another activity that we need to design a poster to represent our event. Our group was like using orange paint and our own fingers to create one.

Day6// We prepared for our sketch fest exhibition in SpaceportX which located in city centre. We doodled those boxes for the exhibition. We also did a group activity that drawing something can fit together to make an image making sense.

Day5// We went Cholton for the art festival with some urban sketchers. Quite a lot people came to this festival and they enjoyed the live music and food. After sketching, we tried to set up an exhibition, hanging our sketches with some clips.

Day4// After 3 days sketching parade, we went back to Chatham to think about our exhibition. We designed to use 25 cardboard boxes which have been painted with white and orange colors to be the"display desk". And we were allocated into 4 groups. Different groups have different tasks. My group is doing a booklet of our event journey.

Day3// We sketched with a group of urban sketchers in Whitworth Art Gallery. Those urban sketchers are really nice that shared some sketching tips with us. A sketcher told me that it is really important to keep drawing and draw it in a simple way, like using colors to create the atmosphere that you feel and sometimes, you just don't need to draw everything you see so accurate.

Day2// We went to Piccadilly Garden and Market street which always crowded and busy. We were given some short tasks that sketched within a few seconds. This helps us to be more efficient while sketching moving scenes.

Day 1// We had a meeting in Chatham and received out sketchbooks& t-shirts. After that one of the 5th year students gave us some tips on sketching like line-weighting, shadowing and other drawing technique. We went to central library and Albert square in the afternoon to do some urban sketches. I never had experience that sketching with a group of people together. I quite enjoy it because we can learn much from each other.
