Hepworth Gallery/ YSP

Today I visited the Hepworth gallery and Yorkshire sculpture park I collated a mass of primary information and observations (photography and sketches).
In visiting the Hepworth I was able to further widen my artist Intel, in doing so I was inspired by a lot of artists work (Barbra Hepworth, Magda Cardell, Dennis Oppenheim and Von Rydingsvard) which I was able to capture on a camera and in my hand rendered book using my mark making skills and range of dry media to produce a plethora of drawings and sketches using techniques such as; blind drawing, timed drawing, collage, charcoal, oil pastels, coloured pencil, Biro, continuous line, negative space drawing and painting. Below you can see a selection of the strongest observations from both galleries that I will move on to develop:

 
 



After much analysis of each drawing and technique used I would like to take forward my charcoal and bread drawing of a sculpture in the Hepworth, I have chosen this observation because I particularly loved the technique used in which captured the sculpture using tone line and texture which is simple however effective. In developing this piece I think I will looking into working on a much larger scale trying to perfect scale and tone, I will also look into starting to introduce other materials keeping the piecce fairly monotone using foils, plastics ect.
Therefore I have also decided to develop another piece which will be another piece from the Hepworth being the fine lined continuous line drawing of a tall humain sculpture, I particularly liked this piece because it had a striking resemblence of a high fashion illustration with exaggerated proportions and stance. In developing this piece I will look into using mixed medias such as working into line with sewing and adding used materials such as used clothes and plastics.  

Below you can see a contact sheet of all the strongest images taken throughout both visits:

From looking over these images I would like to develop one of my images (image marked with >), in developing this picture I would like to practice a half torn and drawn into effect. Creating a hybrid of image and drawing.
