Evaluation of 'A drawing a Day' Book

What is working:
  • the constant theme of symbols from the bible 
  • the colour palette being limited to only a few colours- reds, greens, black, blue.
  • the colour palette being a majority of dark hues. 
  • the cut outs in some of the pages look very interesting
  • collaging with photocopied and found images



What is not working:
there are two pages where i used bright coloured pen and i felt that it didn't work well with the other pages so i reworked it by adding some black and white paint and some fine pen drawings to make it connect with the other pages. 


Themes: References from the bible. Symbols such as angel wings, hands, the tree of life and people. 

Who else is doing similar work:
Rodriguez Calero
Frida Kahlo
My Dead Pony
Daniel Egneus

What are you making it out of?
  • coloured paper
  • pen & pencil
  • black, white, and silver paint
  • felt tip pens
  • magazine pages/ found images
  • clear plastic sheet
Self Evaluation:
If i had come to class more i wouldn't have stressed out with doing last minute work to hand in. I found that i worked well in class and managed to do more work than when i was at home. Attendance was something that i struggled with that i need to definitely work on for next semester. 
I also learnt that i love collage work and creating images that have lots of layers of found images, fine drawings and paint like the work that Rodrigues Calero does. I also learnt that i like washed out colours and doing contemporary and abstract styled art.
