Mark-Making is what it says on the tin, it is making a mark. It sounds very simple but to make a meaningful mark can be slightly challenging. Mark-Making is basically the lines textures, patterns, colours we create on any surface. Putting a pencil to paper creates a mark. Writing creates a mark. Most people create a mark everyday. Mark-Making can be free where you don't completely control the marks you make, but look for a good outcome. Or they can be controlled where you have in your mind the type of mark you wish to make. I completed some mark making which involved me using only black colured media, so I used pencil, ink and charcoal. Our task was to fold the paper into 12 rectangles and fill the 8 central rectangles with different marks. First I used Charcoal....
Next I used pencil to make marks...
Then I used ink to make marks...
And Finally I made a sheet which had marks which I favoured the most from my previous sheets, which I copied exactly, tweaked slightly or incorporated more than one design within one rectangle.
