Year One Summer Project


The project is simple – Only using a black pen and the colour orange produce 10 drawings on 10 pieces paper measuring 10cm by 10cm.

Keep your eyes open - observe. You can draw anything you like from life, the limitation in format, size, colour and medium should restrict your drawings and force you to produce 10 graphical exercises. Look at weight of line as much as wit - you may play with adding quirky slogans and illustrate from them. Or, a diagramatic drawing of a house or interior.

They don't have to be works of art you have spent hours on - learn to 'symbolise and summarise'.

Why not upload your observations and chat about the project amongst yourselves before you start the course.

Hi, I'm D, 23, and quite excited/nervous about returning to full time education!
Does anyone know what the normal times of the classes will be, and if we need to bring our projects on induction week or the week after when we're on the course? Thanks
