Environment: Belfast Campus

To start this workshop, we were given the task of creating two A3 sized drawings of the skyline out the window or a view from inside the studio. To begin with I decided to create a quick study using a black sharpie of the atrium….

  In this workshop, we were tasked with gathering objects from our surroundings to create letterforms which were then assembled into an alphabet. I found this a lot more challenging than I originally thought it would be. Some letters were easier than others, with objects…
