Act One: Setting the scene
The aim of this project is to introduce ourselves to carefulness of image making, but at the same time allow us to be as much open and expressive as possible. Each workshop that I took part in, is designed to question my pre-existing visual language. Visual language is important in order to understand your process of developing ideas. In this project it was important to be chaotic and experimental. To create as much work as possible, using different materials and process, get out of my comfort zone and discover new mythologies.This project is thinking about pace, rhythm, flow, pressure and texture while creating my outcomes.
The first task was based on all other small projects, this was to write the automatic writing task, and writing 96 words without thinking about anything, but only whatever comes into your mind. This is how my sheet looked like;
Part of this exercise was to get anything that’s in your head, and be honest with it, this is a good way in starting to explore your inner self, and what is stuck in your mind, allowing yourself to explore your visual hidden language.
Task four Extraction
Task four was about applying my illustration skills to the words from the automatic writing task. The task had 11 different bullet point. It asked to; 
Task Five:
This task was designed to
Experimental Mark Making workshop 02/10/18
Before starting the workshop, we have looked at two artists. Neil Canning and Atelier Bingo. Both these artist have a
This project is based on the freedom of expression, and using these thoughts create marks, using anything that you can bring to the session.
Creating very quick illustrations when a number was called from automatic writing sheet.
Task six: V&A gallery visit
This session was about exploring the word ”Taxonomy”
Final illustrations outcome & IVM box exhibition
Act two: wheels in motion
My chosen 10-100 word extract of writing.
”If your place, if there is pain, nurse it, and if there is a flame, don’t snuff it out, don’t be brutal with it. Withdraw can be terrible thing when it keeps us awake at night, and watching others forget us sooner than we’d want to be forgotten is no better. We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster than we should that we go bankrupt by the age of thirty and have less to offer each time we start with someone new. But feel nothing so as not to feel anything-what a waste!”
” Our hearts and our bodies are given to us only once. Most of us can’t help but live as though we’ve got two lives to live, one is the mockup, the other the finished version, and then there are all those versions in between. But there’s only one, and before you know it, your heart is worn out, and, as for your body, there comes a point when no one looks at it, much less wants to come near it. Right now there’s sorrow. I don’t envy the pain. But I envy you the pain. ”

Act Three: Crescendo
” how much history must be in love padlocks, or in a severed wire netting. How many moments of infatuation, disappointed, tears, laughter, passion, failure. – and all we see are padlocks. One thing you start noticing as you grow up is how everything is interconnected. Each and every thing.
Think about how many things you miss out on everyday. How many things your brain considers irrelevant. Do you pay attention to every car? To every passer-by? What they think about? What they believe in? Of course you don’t. Our brains work so selectively that they only see what they consider relevant. And they ignore the rest. We always see just a fraction of the whole. We only see what we want to see. Mostly just who we are. The world is but an infinite number of dots. And every one of them is connected to each other.
Humans have the uncanny ability to correlate facts. They see A and B, and wonder if they are or may be connected. Heaven knows why we made use of this uncanny ability so seldom. Why? Already as young children we wonder what will happen if we do this, what will happen if we go there. Where do this come from, where does that come from? Endless queries, endless curiosity. And As time goes by we seem to lose it.
A teacher comes in, points at dots and goes home. That’s all. The vital role of a teacher is to impart wisdom from connections, not dots. It is in the connections where the true power lies. But there’s just a book. A dot, a book, a dot, a book(…..) over and over again. The meaning of life doesn’t boil down to amassing piles of books, reading them all and calling yourself clever. Yes, you will certainly be clever but only outwardly. Real wisdom comes from understating and not regurgitating dots.
They say that one never ceases to learn. It certainly doesn’t concern everyone. After some time one stops being hungry for knowledge and stops connecting dots. And this is what we call adulthood. We do our best to function normally with a number of dots that ensure a normal life. It’s best to sit quietly and not say a word.
Once you realise that everything is connected, you’ll understand that you don’t need to be a cog in the machine. You start understanding the world, people. Patterns of behaviour they follow. What have I found out ever since I started connecting dots? More than I can count. What are yours? You need to figure it out by yourself. ” – Wlodek Markowicz
