Wild workshop

Acrylic paint and emulsion with ink over the top 

A1 piece, Ink with emulsion slapped on over the top 

   With Eddie we did a really fun workshop where we circulated around tables every 10 that required us to work with different media on different scales. We worked with collage, making grounds, photomontage, paint and bypass printing. I enjoyed this because it pushed me out of my comfort zone and I made things that I would not have thought of otherwise, so it was great for quickly generating ideas and it helped me accomplish what I set out to do in my last blog post. Working on such a large scale was scary but it was actually much faster than doing a small thing in my sketchbook.
   I really liked the effect that brushing emulsion over the ink gave; it blurred the lines to give a watery look. I also love the texture of acrylic, and I think it would be great for fabrics especially because the brush strokes show movement.
  To expand on this I need to take what worked (the movement and texture) into further experiments, and use these methods to quickly generate ideas throughout the rest of the project. It doesn't matter if everything's not perfect, as long as it gives more ideas that can be worked on later.
