Location Drawing: Huddersfield Town Centre




My second Process and Production session was an exiting adventure taking place throughout Huddersfield town centre. As groups we captured various iconic buildings/pieces of architecture that we then sketched on large drawing boards. My group was assigned to the old Huddersfield Market, a very old building, using clashing colours around the architecture. 

Looking into different parts of the area was important, we achieved this by splitting into smaller groups and taking different samples from the market that we could then piece together to become one large overall collage. I drew the outside of the market, while other students focused on the inside, covering everything from fruit and veg, to pillars that held the building together. I thought this task was a really good way of sharing how I and other students examine and observe the same attraction but approach there sketches differently, from different perspectives. 
Once our sketches were finished or nearly on there way, we as a whole group stuck them up in the studio. The drawings ranged from, pencil sketches, to dark fine liner outlines, and a few colour pieces. I think the work looked fantastic all put together, it mapped out Huddersfield's finest buildings/expanse and everyone put in the effort that is clearly shown in the picture I personally took. We had critical discussions as well as complimentary praise, leading us towards better results in the future, for example our sketch books to be assessed.
