Visual Language: Set, Series, Sequence Part 1

For the first part of this project, I was given a set of 9 words (dance, tank, science, flight, envelope, fork, bug, skip, plant) from which I had to choose ONE (I know it was a nightmare for me) to create a series of 32 A5 sketches from. After a very long think about which word to choose I managed to whittle it down to flight however, I noticed that most of the people around me were also doing flight and I didn't want my work to be influenced by theirs so it was back to square one. In the end I decided to do bug.

Gif of my 32 images.

I must admit I found this task quite difficult, as I really struggled to come up with any form of quick response (in fact I struggled that much that it took me a week to create more than 4 images). However, after generating quick responses in the form of a brain storm, I did managed to finally come up with 32 images all depicting 'bug' in a different way and it didn't actually take me too long once I had the ideas. But, quick responses are something I am definitely going to have work on.

Now that I have my 32 different images I will have to pick out my most successful drawing and develop it further. This seems even more difficult than coming up with the first 32! Thinking about it now I'm feeling more fondness for my actual bugs, as I feel these will be easier to come up with a narrative for (so she says).
