We had to bring an object, wrap it and draw it.

I chose a high heeled shoe, i wrapped it with tin foil, masking tape, material and coloured string.

Unfortunately once wrapped it still looked like a shoe. My aim was to make the shape unknown but still interesting. This did not happen.

Because of the materials used it was interesting to draw, this was a positive thing after the first stage didn't go to plan. Marker pen, ink and watercolour paints worked really well to show the texture on the surface.

Although i found the next part hard, the outcome was unexpected and it adds another technique into my work. I am always happy to try new techniques and know some need more concentration than others.
I'll briefly explain what we did: put all the objects into the middle of the room and drew with pen/charcoal/other media. We weren't allowed to look at the paper, i think this was to show us how much we need to look up whilst we are drawing. Otherwise we are drawing what we THINK we are seeing, not drawing what is actually there.
