Assignment 5 prep

I started today by looking at two self portrait sketches:

Deciding the first image was the stronger for what I had in mind, I flipped it on my phone and printed it off A4 size.

I went over what was a weak print with black biro. I then laid out 8 x A4 sheets of cardboard so that they formed an A1 sized support. I transferred the image by hand to the board like so:

It is my intention to play around with this image – perhaps even reproduce the image as an A1 calograph print with some or all of the boards transposed. I expect this will have mixed results but will be fun to do. I shall also produce at least one A1 print from the image with all boards arranged in the “correct” order. Perhaps I’ll end up with one reductive calograph print. Maybe I will draw on top of the prints depending upon the outcome of each – whether they require further definition. It will be interesting.
