This years exam is about contrasts. I started up with a vague idea of what kind of contrasts I would like to explore in this project, and after having a sit-down with my drawing teacher, I have found out what I will work with the next weeks.
The darkness and the light within people and within the society we create around us, the seemingly innocent misleading of others, resulting in misleading ourselves and creating a society where true feelings and honesty gets in the shadow of lies and betrayal. A world where you don't trust anyone, not even yourself.
I have decided to use the photos from my photo assignment earlier this year, and make one or more drawings from this. I want to see if I can further emphasize the contrasts in the scene with my drawing, and have started with the format and the placing of the objects on the paper. I have also started testing with different techniques and tools to find out what combination of these will help giving the drawing the right feeling and expression.

"Float or Sink"
The "Out of the comfort zone" project was presented at school a couple of weeks ago. I have already started working on my exam project for this year, but felt I had to present also the last project here on my blog before I give all my attention to the exam.
Staying afloat can be a challenge, both physically and mentally. The trick is to pick up a form and create yourself from a material able to hold you up. Having flow requires being afloat, but will not necessarily come as a natural consequence of being afloat. Flow involves more movement and energy than just the stabilizing force that allows you to stay afloat. Stability and movement are fundamental elements to move on, being in the water, in life or as a society in general.

I have really loved working with this coal and pastel picture! I have learned a lot about light and shadows, and the color added with the pastel really helped giving the picture the depth and tone it needed to be interesting. All in all, a lot of good learning before the final project of this year, -my exam.
