The first assignment of the semester was to create two 8"x10" drawings, using only white paper, gesso, and-on one drawing- black chalk pastel. They were to be done using two 22"x30" sheets of good quality paper.
I had gone into the first drawing with the intention of creating a geometric design using only the white paper and gesso. After much impatience over the multitude of paper scraps, however, I resolved to simply create a drawing over it using the pastel as well. I followed a few lines from different paper shred before deciding to make a simple boat drawing, as I felt that the texture of the paper could help to create a dramatic scene. The second drawing was much like the first, in the sense that I had intentions for what I was going to do, before scrapping all ideas and simply resolving to slap all of the paer on as quickly as possible. The process created a hard surface, but was brittle, and the gesso that I used- being old and un mixed- contributed in giving the paper a yellowish tint and a rough, bumpy texture.
