Theme: Force
Method: Pull three student-created rules out of a hat, then use these rules to create an environment in a new and interesting way.
Context: Minecraft and photo collages; two very quick ways of building environments without actually having to draw.
Response:
The prompts I pulled for this assignment were:
- Use only black and white
- Use only cubes
- Use only images from the internet as a source
Googling pictures of cubes didn't seem like it would be all that fun or relevant to my practice, so I decided to get a bit creative. First I created a quick scene in minecraft, then traced over it and used stock images to create a mood.
Can't say I'm entirely happy with the result, but as with my week 2 experiment it strikes me as a very quick and easy way to test out aesthetics and colour pallettes. It could have more use in my practice, when I'm planning out complicated drawings.
