Video capturing ink, pencil and pastel drawings on paper
Using Rachel Jones51²è¹Ý¶ù work as a starting point, students from Lord Grey Academy explored scale and mark-making to approach ways of looking at Vincent van Gogh51²è¹Ý¶ù self-portrait and consider how they could respond creatively to visual, contextual and cultural sources of inspiration.
Playing with size and proportion, the group worked experimentally in The Courtauld51²è¹Ý¶ù Leon Kossoff Learning Centre, using a range of materials and paper sizes. The resulting studies range from abstracted drawings zooming in on Van Gogh51²è¹Ý¶ù brushstrokes to details collected around the Courtauld Gallery. They were then scanned and layered digitally to create this video.
