Drawing Workshop

On Monday the 25th, we had a drawing workshop, which I found very interesting and I was glad that I got a chance to attend it. So the main thing that we learned in the workshop was to draw an image by not looking at the paper but continuously observing the object that we are drawing and drawing it while watching it. So basically the idea was to draw directly from what we saw not from our memory. So at first we had to choose an object to draw, I chose a plug. First we had to draw how we normally draw by looking at both the image and paper. I missed that stage as I had to hand in my project after coming back from the scavenger hunt and came to the workshop a bit late. Then we had to define the word drawing, which I defined as "making an interpretation of an object with pen or pencil on a surface"

After that we were asked to draw without looking at the paper, which sounded a bit weird, but we did it, these are the drawings that I made

Then we had to draw using the hand that we not normally write or draw with, without looking at the paper, so these are some really bad drawings I did with my right hand

After the above we were asked to draw using both hands simultaneously, which was quite fun, although they don't look that good, but still...
So the next task was to draw using scissors, this time we were allowed to look at the paper, but by this stage I was so used to not looking at the paper and just at the object that I forgot that we were allowed to look at it and cut it, so these are the drawings I made with scissors, partly looking at the paper

In this task we did a mixture of both, drawing with hand and scissors. First we had to cut out the object, like a silhouette stick it onto a white sheet of paper and draw over it without looking with a thick black marker.

In this last one, we had to draw using the back marker without looking, of course... I quite like this one.
