Final RCA class of the term, moving from the life room to apply experience in the ”real” world. Each person has developed their own approach. This is a very difficult thing to do but creates a link between the life room and and the practice of drawing outside.

A few images from the life Room at the RCA. Ink, charcoal, water, erasers, brushes and bamboo

RCA class, two approaches ink and large translations. The ink drawings in the first half of the gallery, were made with various tools including bamboo and brushes. Water was also added the ink in some drawings to make for a more subtle image. This was introduced to get the students to consider the power marks can have. It’s not always the strong, black or pop colour lines that have the greatest effet, pale marks can hit your senses and pull you in as they alway hint at new information and reel light rather than shouting as black or brightly coloured marks do.

Images in the second half of the galley are first made by the student and then remade at a far greater size with different tools. This reinterpretation of the image makes for new marks, discoveries and images as you can see.
