Painting and drawing, taster assignment

Mark making can be an expressive, creative, analytical and experimental way of applying materials. This assignment will enable you to expand your visual vocabulary, it is a journey of visual discovery and understanding of how mark making can act as an image or impression for a surface and the sense of touch in a picture.

These exercises will allow you not only to work in a traditional way of mark making but will also help to break away from the more conventional and familiar methods, and processes. The objectives of these exercises are for you to be excited by the practice and recognise the potential of these experiments for future use.

This assignment is a research and information gathering opportunity so you should approach it in the right frame of mind, your attitude should be one of freedom and experimentation when making the drawings. In this exercise, you should apply the materials in an investigative manner experimenting with possibilities and the potential that these materials can offer you.

Once you have completed the purchase, the taster assignment will be sent to you via email. This will be in a PDF format. There are detailed instructions at the end of the PDF of who to forward your work to for feedback.
