Observational Writing

For this project, there were two main focuses. The writing and the physical response to the writing. Observational Writing was the first section of the rotation. For this part, I had to chose an area that I could write in great detail about.

I decided that the area that i was going to write about Oxford Street & Swansea Market. Instead of going to a specific location, I documented my journey.

At first, it was quite challenging because I couldn’t get my head around what should I be noting down. Theres no right or wrong answer on how I should approach this. As time was passing got more comfortable with writing in public.

After the hour out there, I had to come back and refine my text and get all the details down. Anthony gave the text a read over and said to get all the information down because it was still fresh in my head and trying and make my text read like a conversation.

Physical Response

The second half to this project, was to create a response to your writing. Had a talk with Anthony and he suggested that i should combine my text with some images. So from that I decided that my images were going to be continuous line drawing because I tend to gravitate towards that type of style because of how quick it is to get something on the page.

Photography Workshop

For this workshop, I had to take a digital image and convert that into a positive or negative photogram.

I did a series of photograms that helped develop the physical response a bit more. The whole experience was a bit of a trial and error. Trying to get into the rhythm of using the dark room again. For this workshop, I got explore different techniques that helped build my response.
