week 1.

In the first week off the 'Hands On' project we were given the brief to produce glossary pages expressing the elements of design. These were: Line, Colour, Value, Shape, Texture, Space and Form. Each glossary page should illustrate the word chosen as well as having the definition within the art work.
I chose to illustrate Line and Colour first.

For Line, I simply drew straight lines across a page, however, raising them in an arch in certain places to it created the effect that there was a hand underneath causing the paper to raise. Doing this piece was very time consuming and tedious. I also came across the problem of being unable to match the striped pattern up and as i drew this in felt pen, some of the lines ran and caused the lines to blur.

I also started to draw Colour. For this i drew around my hands so they crossed over. I then chose to colour each hand in a Primary colour, either red, blue or yellow and were the hands crossed i coloured the hand in the colour that would be made if they primary colours were mixed; green, orange and purple.
