BASIC MARK MAKING LINKING TO MOVEMENT BY VISUAL INSPO

Materials used- White cartridge paper

Mediums used- oil pastels in the colour BLACK

I was visually inspired by the photos I taken on bonfire night so I wanted to see the difference in re creating them by using different materials, I like how the charcoal has built up a layering of shades at the bottom of the composition but I think I would add colours such as neon pinks in the medium oil pastels.

Materials used- White cartridge paper

Mediums used- Chalk in the colour BLACK

I was experimenting with chalk because I wanted to apply the movement in a different way by blending the colour with my finger, I have then used a rubber to erase parts of the movement similar to the visual inspiration as I wanted to create a drastic change in the tones of shadow in comparison to brightness. I line how the texture differs from being roughly applied on the background in comparison to when I used my finger as I realised the black shade varied into a grey scale.

For this experiment i have re created what  i saw on the images i took from bonfire night and have used yellow chalk because i know that when i use my finger to drag it across the surface it will smudge, i have then used PVA and washed it over the chalk so some texture can arouse. After layering it this way i use a black oil pastel to go over the texture so i am able to define the texture to create more than just a 2D effect.  However, to improve I would work with different colours other than just yellow chalk.

For this experiment i have a white oil pastel to show a spread of lines that i seen when the fireworks had only just lifted into the air, I used white because it is a very juxtaposing colour in comparison to the black cartridge paper and i wanted rot expose the simple lines as they move up into the air. To improve would work onto the white chalk with another tonal colour such as creams or yellows.

For this experiment my aim was to move my hand quickly to create duplicated lines which show a rush of the fireworks exploding into the sky as they burst intro colour within a split second, i used a bright yellow oil pastel because it is a colour that is most relatable to the flames of gun powder exploding, the yellow is very eye capturing and proves a settlement of exaggeration and abstraction. Furthermore, i have used white cartridge paper instead of black because i feel like the yellow is much more compelling on a brighter surface. I then used a black charcoal to act as a definitive shadow to the lines because  thought it looked very basic with it just being a one colour. Overall, i love who the yellow works as a brighter tone in comparison to the black shadowing it, i like how the application of both the charcoal has smudged by my finger and the yellow oil pastel staying very close to its own medium.
