for the first project, we got given a general visual research project to get to know the city of norwich. they're looking at how we visualise a subject in which we've been given. for instance, this project was so broad you could literally look at ANYTHING in the city. which was a bit daunting at first, but it's interesting to see what everybody chooses and how diverse some of the responses are.
we have been set a series of tasks aimed at helping to develop our own visual language. by looking at themes such as composition, use of colour and mark making we can explore our ideas in drawing workshops, to then develop our drawings to take into the print workshop.
one of the first tasks we had to do was choose several areas of the city to explore. i initially ventured down st benedicts street, but ended up at tomblands and eventually at the cathedral. i felt that norwich is known for it's numerous churches and the castle and cathedral so it's not a bad place to start.
i then took photographs and made a series of drawings in my sketch book focusing on;
- texture and surface
-pattern decoration and ornamentation
- colour and form
