For this exercise I set up a Still life with a selection of natural objects that myself and my three year old son found in my back garden.
We then arranged them on some black paper where I took photographs of them from differing angles. 

I was inspired by the student example in my handbook by oca student carol smith ‘driftwood’ (white ink on black paper.) 

I just love how effective her striking white lines were and I wanted to try something similar myself.

I worked a3 size with white ink on black paper. I tried to make a drawn study that shows my understanding of the forms and the connections and spaces between the forms.

I completed two drawings, and for a first attempt at using this media I wasn’t too displeased. I enjoyed making marks using white, but as I am so used to drawing with a dark media on white paper I did find myself getting a little confused at times. 

I think for my drawings my main area for improvement would have to be the arrangement of my objects. In hindsight I think I could have arranged them in a more interesting way or drawn them from a more exciting viewpoint. I would however really like to experiment with using these media’s again in the future.
