The document provides instructions for an expressive mark making task involving several steps: 1) Creating unconventional drawing tools and experimenting with different marks, colors, and techniques in a sketchbook. 2) Collaborating to paint shapes on a large paper using the homemade tools, then responding to each other's marks. 3) Arranging and documenting the cut-out shapes, and questioning choices. 4) Creating a three-dimensional installation in the room using the collaborative painting. Maintaining awareness of others' works and creating visual relationships between pieces is encouraged. Success is determined by individually defined criteria that students write down.
Task 3 Expressive Mark Making
- 1. Task 3: Expressive Mark Making
- 2. MAKE YOUR OWN TOOLS Unorthodox brushes can create exciting marks in a drawing. These marks can, in turn, give a drawing an added depth or texture that couldn’t be achieved with a conventional brush. Use the materials provided to create your own drawing tools.
- 3. EXPLORE MARK MAKING Use the inks & paint provided to explore the types of marks your DIY tools can create. Also explore using different concentration of ink / paint. In your sketchbook
- 4. Explore these different painting techniques. Experiment with different colour combinations and paints Sgraffito (from Italian "graffiare") means to scratch into the paint to reveal areas of the surface underneath. Spattering is a technique where the paint is being sprayed or flicked onto the surface of a using either a paint brush, toothbrush or a spray diffuser. Scumbling is a painting technique for dry brushing a layer of broken colour over another colour. Don’t forget to label your experiments and explain the process…. Stippling is a technique when the brush is used end on.
- 5. COLLABORATE Step 1: Select shapes and/or sections from any work you have completed in this project so far. Use your unorthodox tools and the materials available to paint these selections on the large paper provided. You can paint more than one and overlap shapes if you wish.
- 6. Step 2: Enjoy a conversation with marks instead of words. Explore expressive mark making in response to the shapes created by each other. Move around the piece. Yes, we want you to work over and around each others paintings.
- 7. Use your phone to photograph successful sections… What determines success? How do you know? What is your criteria? Write it down.
- 8. Step 3: Cut out shapes and patterns and arrange them on paper or on the floor. Work together to make decisions- question your selection and choices. How will you document this dialogue / process? PHOTOGRAPH
- 9. Step 4: Drawing into Space Respond to the painting experiments using the entire room as your canvas. Create three-dimensional drawings from tape, string and paper. Include parts of the collaborative painting as appropriate.
- 10. Look at work by Peggy Franck
- 11. Peggy Franck (born 1978) is a young Dutch artist working with different media, photography, paintings, installations. Her work is based on her practice in the studio mixing everyday objects with materials such as Plexiglas, mirror, tape etc. She knows how to skillfully mix references for the viewers, is it a painting, a photograph, an abstract installation, her studio, or another place?
- 13. Maintain an awareness of what others are making. Develop a sense that you are creating this work together. For example, you might like to work with someone else, to create pathways or negative spaces between the pieces, or visually relate your work to something happening next to it or on the other side of the room.
