I have been doing some thumb-nailing in reaction to principles of visual perception and gestalt theory. My initial thought was to create a series of illustrations using basic geometric shapes - alike to perhaps William Luz's sketchbook work - however I am finding it hard to express these theories visually without basing my images first on some form of subject (even if it be a simple one).
The struggle here is that I do not have a really stylised form of drawing, instead the subject or context will often determine how my drawing will look. Therefore I think tackling something like figure or animals may be too overcomplicated - but maybe I could work towards this? For now, I need to start off with a simple subject like plants (done this last year), or just an object. Also (as a plus) I would like to be something I enjoy drawing...
Ideas for content/subject:
- Everyday objects e.g. a bunch of bananas?
- Plants (done before, but still like the idea of this)
- Sculpture e.g. Henry Moores, Babara Hepworth.
- Figure and Animals (work up to)
