Weave/Construct Data Collection week two

Rubbings taken from statues and grids around Manchester an Liverpool

I began by focusing on people’s postures, body language and interactions with one another on the bus I take. By drawing quick sketches using a vast range of media such as pen, pencil, charcoal and graphite. This resulted in my drawings to appear to have a sketchy quality of movement within them. Each drawing, like a photograph captures a moment in time, as all the individuals travelling together on that bus, at that certain time, for one reason or another was now evident within my artwork. As a material to draw onto not only did I use paper but also the free newspaper ‘Metro’ which are available for passengers. I found this was another element of data collection and added a new dimension to the word Data. The viewer is now able to get information from the drawings and their meaning also able to take a small caption from the events going on in the background wrote about that particular day within the news articles.
 
 


using a choice of colour based on grid rubbings however also incorporating elements of my drawings and the Metro newspaper from that day in a way to document data collection.
