Desta Sketchbook Studies - Workshop 2 The Barbican site visit Aims: The objective of this exercise is to visit a successful completed built project and study it in detail through the

process of sketching. Apply the skills and techniques we have discussed in the previous session to record what you see. Demonstrate the use of a range of mixed media techniques. Create a series of drawings which respond to 3 of the following 5 themes: Patterns and textures Make a catalogue of patterns and textures. Record through a series of quick sketches, the material surfaces and patterns that you experience on your journey. Use a range of media and techniques. Process ● ● . . Soft and hard landscaping Find a point where soft and hard landscaping meet. Produce a detailed drawing(s) of this threshold. Habitation Observe how a range of people interact and engage with the architecture. Record these scenes through detailed drawings. Light and shadow Produce sketches/drawings capturing the qualities of light and shade. Draw surfaces and gradients, not outlines. Form and expression Create a drawing, which you feel represents or captures an essential aspect or characteristic of the Barbican complex. Deliverables: We would like these to be quality drawings rather than quick loose sketches. Tools required-sketchbooks and drawing equipment. At least 4 different mediums.
