Collaborative Drawing Project

I participated in a Collaborative Drawing Project organised by my tutor Bryan Eccleshall.  The instructions were that each person would have two panels to draw.  Each drawing was to be 12 inches x 12 inches, and had to be monochrome, but could be in any appropriate medium. It was to be made using the grid method, so that the proportions would be fairly accurate.  This is one of my panels;

And here is how it fitted in to the overall drawing.

I wasn’t asked to send the actual drawing, just a photograph.  Bryan said that if the actual drawings wee to be assembled the whole piece would be eight feet by six feet.

I found the project exciting to participate in.  It made me think about Bryan’s role as the artist.  He didn’t complete any of the panels, however he was still the creator.  In a way, the participants became his media and he dictated what we created for him.
