Visual Narratives: Textures

I came into college today, ahead of starting back for the New Year tomorrow, to do some more exploration. I had the studio to myself which was absolute bliss! I experimented with mono printing methods as well as mark-making and textures which I really enjoyed doing in the Visual Language sessions. I used a thick painting brush to create rough marks, the end of a kitchen roll to create circular shapes akin to buttons, found objects and stencils. I used black paint and black ink to convey the black and white outfits of the Pearly Kings and Queens. I photocopied multiples of each so I can experiment with cut paper and collage as well. I have so many techniques I want to try out with these great, handmade textures!

I'm feeling really optimistic about this project and can't wait to get storyboarding and sharing my findings with my peers and tutors!
