Norwich Castle Museum Study Visit
The Decorative Arts Gallery Collections
During week one your job is to visually explore and investigate and become familiar with the objects in the decorative arts collections.
During week two your job will be to research an object or a collection of objects and continue to make drawings of your chosen objects. There will be an object surgery on Monday 25th October/drawing tutorials.
During week three you will be required to bring your ideas together into 3 finished drawings/designs around a collection. Details about this will be discussed at a later time.
YOUR JOB IS TO:
Spend time in the gallery and become familiar with the broad range of objects on display
Read the information provided – note dates, any stories/narratives, political references, historical and social references to pattern, design, maker. This will help you to begin to identify what interests you about the object or collection of objects and provide you with initial information for research.
YOUR JOB IS TO:
Investigate/Enquire.
Look.
See.
Record and document visually (drawing) and in writing (note taking)
Put in place strategies to help you LOOK, SEE, ENQUIRE, INVESTIGATE – viewfinders, ant, butterfly etc.
Make rules – 5/10 minute drawings, drawing in continuous line, etc
When making your drawings you need to consider:
Composition - working along an edge, across an edge/page, mask areas off etc.
Application of colour- linear, block, textural etc.
Shadows - light/dark
Tracings.
Scale – Miniature, large scale etc
Record detail of object, shapes, negatives/positives, textures/smooth, etc.
we will only know the final outcome a week before hand in, so we don't limit our creativity to the final piece.
i have chosen the delftware china and tiles.
