You have already looked, and experimented with, a range of techniques and media so in this project we will revisit some of these ways of working and start to develop our skills by creating digital work from our original drawings.
what you will learn
- Why artists create simple backgrounds in their sketchbooks to 'work over' when drawing.
- The importance of experimenting with different drawing techniques and materials.
- How to develop your drawings into new and exciting pieces of work by using digital methods.
- How useful it is to create mockups of our ideas and experiments in real world situations.
key words/terms
- ARCHITECTURE - the art or practice of designing and constructing buildings.
