THE BRIEF: ZOO ANIMALS?
Investigate and explore an object from the real world that relates to the above theme, it can be anything, use your imagination.
Draw numerous observational discoveries in the form of sketches. Think about, scale, the surrounding environment, perspective, space, volume, shadow & light, heavy or delicate mark-making, quick-fire / long-studied drawing.
Draw out more sketches from observations at the zoo, find something others aren't, do not jump to conclusions.
Research, enquire, formulate ideas.
Work intelligently but what is communicated could be very simple.
Use existing visual & contextual studies as a critical frame of reference for evaluating your own work.
The outcome should be; creative, imaginative, discovered through your own experimentation and investigation, expressing ideas, visually skillful, engaging an audience by communicating in comprehensible visual terms.
