Also for this project as a collaboration experiment we attempted to set up our own drawing machine.  Tom was in charge of putting the equipment together which involved using a monitor and a large video camera. The camera pointed to the person we would be drawing and their image was transported to the monitor screen, we then placed a piece of acetate over the screen and drew round the image. It was a good experiment and we managed to draw most of the students in the studio. Once we had collected a fair few drawings we decided to paint some colour onto the back of them to see what different effects we could create. Below are some examples of the finished pictures

We overlapped several of the pictures and placed them on the window to give them a background, I think they looked quite effective.

Eve showed us some examples of an artist who arranged her images into the shape of letter or numbers, so we decided to try this with our own images.

The letter 'L'

Number 1

Number 2

Number 3

I found our collaboration both difficult and hard work. The difficult part was getting everybody to work together and produce work as a group. It was very hard getting everybody to stay focused on what we were actually doing and what we were trying to achieve from the collaboration. Although we all seemed to work independantly, we did eventually all aim for the same finaly. I was pleased with our finished publication it showed all our independant work coming together as a final piece and it actually worked. So in my opinion we were successsfull as a collaboration group.
