We were given 12 sentences such as 'A harsh black line meets a soft curved edge' and then had to interpret how we imagined this to be, on a small square of paper. I found this task exciting as I loved the freedom of being able to make all the different marks. I used biro pen, pastel and pencil. I think mark making is a really important aspect when it comes to designing as it allows you to explore and make positive mistakes.
I decided to do a bit of research into artists who use mark making in an interesting way and came across Brice Mardens work. I love the simplicity of his work yet it's still interesting and textural.
