Sequence & Rhythm

A productive workshop today, all about brainstorming and conceptual diagrams. First genuinely enjoyable group assignment I've ever done- so thank you Susan, Alick, Isabel and Imogen!


Prior to this session we were given a brief prior to this studio session to produce two drawings using eight squares. The pieces were to be titled "Sequence" and "Rhythm"; the composition and interrelationship of the squares was meant to somehow describe the title of the piece.

This is sequence:


A little bit Mondrian... what do you think?

The next one I tried to create rhythm between the elements by scaling the size in proportion to their distance apart using the ration of SQRT:2


As usual, squeezed some arbitrary mixed-media elements in using window-cutting. Not massively successful, but hey!

Things starting to intensify with group survey now but have some business to attend to this evening: will have to really crack on tomorrow.

Other than survey work the task for next week is to explore gesture and expression in conceptual diagramming. So: expect to see some conceptual diagrams of my favourite public spaces some time soon, along with a random aerial photograph of an urban space identical in size to Calverly...

  2. Thanks Antoine! Like I said, sort of ripped off Mondrian [a lot] but it came off quite well

  3. I agree - it was a great team work session! We may be thinkers but we got there! Once we got started we made it in record time because we knew where we were going. Well done team!!
