Marks Made Drawing

We were each given a large piece of nice paper and various other materials to use. Ink, pencil, charcoal, paint, white, and black. We had limitless possibilities of what we could create. We were assigned not to make a drawing of anything in particular, but rather test the materials. All we did is made various marks on a page. Next, once the whole page was filled, we cut up our drawings into the different designs our materials made. Everyone laid their pieces out on the table and we were allowed to grab as many as we wanted, regardless to whether you created them or not. Essentially we were making a collage. I was surprised how many people decided to make landscapes, including me. I chose to create a picture of snowy mountains. Then, after we finished our collage, we had to draw, using only pencil, a picture of our collage. This was different for me because in the past, I've only really drawn from 3D, so this was a challenge for me. The outcome of this drawing was very interesting. I was surprised how well the pencil created paint strokes. I think that turned out really well. This drawing was a lot of fun to create.
