Collaboration Duplication

artist statement

The subject is a class collaboration based off a drawing and we got a small piece of the drawing and the whole class to put their squares together.I chose to create this specific work because I didn’t know what the drawing was so I made it simple (gray and white). For materials, I used graphite. I used the technique of using a tortillion to try to blend my graphite.

While creating this work, I paid close attention to how I was blowing up my small image and drawing it bigger to the best of my ability.

I wanted my artwork to look like it was scaled correctly so my square matched everyone else’s. I struggled with blending / smudging my graphite so you couldn’t really see the pencil marks. If I created another work like this I may use marker.
