As part of the reportage project, we went on a group visit to the potteries museum in Hanley where we were set the task to capture on environments and different elements of the exhibitions. Unfortunately alot of the exhibitions were closed as they were being redone, however we were bale to visit a few with some interesting elements that were fun to capture.
Above shows the first sketchbook page full of drawings that I made. On this page you can see some main elements for the spitfire exhibition including the spitfire itself. I particularly like this exhibition more than I originally thought as it was very much out of my comfort zone in terms of what we were capturing, however once I began I surprised myself.
However, after taking far too long on the previous drawings we were set the task to move around the plane every two minutes capturing different angles and illustrations. Again this was very much out of my comfort zone however, b y being thrown into it straight away i enjoyed the idea of not being too precious on my line work and instead focusing on the thing that is in front of me rather than what was on my page. I actually liked how my linework turned out, although some elements are definitely out of proportion i still feel it captures the important details well.
The third and final page of this exhibition we had more freedom yet we were to move upstairs, i liked this as it contained a range of smaller items which were fun to capture and add to the sketchbook page as a collective. It was also nice to capture the spitfire from a very different angle looking down from above. Again the proportions are definitely not correct but it was fun to capture in an unusual way.
The third and final page that i captured was from the alice and wonderland exhibition, i found it harder to in fact capture the elements of this exhibition due to the environment however i felt i made some fun technical drawings which really captured the exhibition in it's own way. Looking back i wish i spent more time looking at both the finer details and also maybe trying to capture the whole exhibition as a whole.
Overall I really enjoyed this trip and felt it allowed me to experiment and play around more with the idea of reportage and giving it my own style and twist that pushes me out my comfort zone yet still tests me.
