Week 4: Conceptual Sketches

After the second site visit I decided to produce some drawings and sketches of anything that came to mind to help me get a better grasp on how I want to move forward. I often really struggle to move forward and develop ideas when I start to get stressed and start thinking ahead too much about what my next five steps are going to be. It makes me shut down and I really struggle to get back moving again. I find that I work well and am able to find my feet again if I can clear my head and forget about what process and steps need to be taken in order to achieve an end goal. So I decided to do some sketches that related to some of my ideas.

While I was at the gardens I picked up a fallen flower and pressed it in my visual diary. Here are some of the photos I took of it to get some ideas flowing.

After that I began to explore some ideas through drawings. I really liked the print the flower had left in my book from when it was pressed so I explored the veins and lines it left with coloured pencils.
