For the task I decided to look at graffiti around London, especially in the area of Bricklane. I have collected multiple graffiti recordings and then zoomed in very closely on each image to the area that interested me the most, which then lead to observational drawings. Overall, i enjoyed the activity and exploring new ways of seeing objects which helps to freshen the perspective, however, next time I will try to experiment with my drawing style as I got a bit confused.

For the task Talking colour I decided to explore colour and patterns within my house, I have selected few objects that interested me in terms of their colour and sometimes pattern. I then closely observed the objects while drawing using different media, including oil pastels, markers, fine liners and colour pencils. This task gave me the opportunity to pay attention to my surroundings and identify inspiration within my house, which I found beneficial to do because in future I could practice extracting inspiration from unexpected areas.
