Drawing with string - experimental materials

For the experimental materials project I have chosen to record the model's form using string/ thread and tape and record the precess by taking photos and then making them into a stop motion.

I like how the shadow of the string makes its own lines; this is something I would like to further explore.

This is the video I made of the photos I took in today's class. I find that it is most successful when I take photos after each piece of tape I stick to the string. You get to see the figure evolve and appear. I made some colour corrections to make the colours a bit more vibrant and add some contrast. I think I will just continue building on this video and see where it takes me. When finished, I could project the film onto the used tape and string. Unfortunately, the resolution of the images is not that great and the video looks quite pixilated. Not sure how I would be able to solve that problem.

Exploring movement

This one was first drawn and then torn and reassembled and the same pose was redrawn over the top.

This one was a collaborative piece involving everyone with electrical tape to use the tape to record the model's form.

The above exercise was also done using masking tape on the floor.
