Project 1 – ‘Drawing upon inspiration’

I interpreted this project by believing that drawing is doing what I love.

I decided that I had a particular interest in noticing that people draw in their spare time, or when they’re bored – such as doodles. I could see people ‘doodling’ all the time throughout my daily life at uni, whether they were supposed to be taking notes, or listening to someone else instead.

I think that a drawing really is anything practical made using some form of media, by anyone.

I decided to tackle this project by making it personal and tailoring it to myself, and also by making the subject matter something of which I love. Over the first few weeks of University, I had to travel between Brighton and London (home) due to external factors over the weekends. I decided to use this as a reason for my project. This also worked well for me, because I have a particular interest and ongoing love for the art of architecture.

So I decided, to look at the journey’s I made over the weeks, in both cities, Brighton and London and document the travels I made and what I saw on the way. A lot of this included buildings, and architecture which I saw, I decided and started to notice many similarities and differences between the 2 cities; Brighton which was a new city to me, and London, a city which I have known before.
