This week I had the task called ‘ way of seeing and talking pattern’. It let me to create drawings that in different views or details as well as combine with the first task pattern to get new patterns. For this, I drew with leaves, woods, boiled water and also did 3D work.

From this lesson, I was delight that I learned how to get new patterns. This was a good way to develop projects, like when the two patterns were combined, unexpected results would be obtained. At the same time, I also learned to observe a thing in different ways. In this process, I felt it quite reliable. However, I thought I need to break through the way of painting when observed the details of things then transformed into patterns.

For the future development, I will observe the things in more detail, and observe things more broadly. In addition, for this lesson, I will do more exercises on pattern combination also use different methods as well as colors.

For the first week, I started the task called ‘talking colour ’ which asked us to drawing same things in different styles and also used kinds of materials. I mainly created with mushroom and peacock.

From the task I have learned how to use mix media to create a fast drawing. It was also quite inspired when looked through others work that tutor showed me. At first, I felt a little bit difficult, so I went to exhibitions and parks also got inspiration from them. I think I was good at using mix media as well as colour. At the same time, I found that I preferred to focus on the details, which led to the overall outline of the object was not obvious.

For the next improvement, I will do more exercise related to the shape of the object, or I can investigate more of the works of artists. In addition, I think I need to add some photos and also maybe one more object.
