Week 1 Reflections: Encountering the Figure Tracings

Week 1 of the Encountering the Figure Project was to trace 12 artworks and reflect on the mediums used to create them and to start thinking about what the artist intended when they created the images. I have explored lots of different mediums this week and it was interesting to see how the wet media reacted to the tracing paper. For instance, Peyton's image ( above) using charcoal paint made the tracing paper crease up. As if the drawing had been swimming with the very subject! Would like to explore more media next week when I start copying these images using thicker paper rather than tracing paper.
