This is the first time that I have ever had to create my own brief for a project before, and although it is really exciting it is also a little daunting. However, I splashed around with a couple of ideas and decided on working with the title 'eye of the behholder'.
Brainstorming ideas lead me to begin with drawing and trying to imitate the appearence of the iris. This part of the eye is fascinating especially in terms of colour. I didn't realise quite how strange an iris was until I really payed it some attention.
I thought I'd start the unit as I intend to go on by getting straight out of my comfort zone. We learned a drawing technique last year in which you place a glass bowl over a projector and drop ink down the sides. It creates a really nice effect which resembles an eye. Normally in the first couple of weeks of a project I stay in my sketchbook when it comes to drawing, this helped me break up my routine and get the ball rolling.
