Part Two: Project Four – Stage Two. Exercise 1.

The excitement in choosing this image came from the vibrant colours that have an effervescent and instant appeal.

Using a variation of lead pencils to give value and tone to the marks helped these become more expressive and representative of the chosen image.

Using chalk pastels made possible a complete coverage and changing depths to the image so that its transparency enhanced the overall texture of the impressions.

The simplicity of the medium representing the shapes is governed by the font and size of the writing. The overall impression is one of openness and gestural expansiveness without being concisely predictive.The expressive nature of ‘tagging’ could well lead to greater rearrangements of recording shapes. Will have to watch out for wall artists and their work to learn about other ways of acting out this medium.
