Salford Quays
The last place I want to visit for this brief is Salford, The Quays. I really want to visit here because it is a place with such gorgeous buildings, and also holds a lot of important offices. For example, the BBC studios are here, as well as the Coronation Street Studios and that of 'The Voice'. Therefore I think it would be a really interesting experience to go here and see the buildings where television is so highly involved.
I am anticipating a lot of high rise buildings that would be really good to draw from a low angle perspective. And this really interests me because I hope it will strengthen my use of mis-en-scene and staging for the future. From the research I have done, I really liked the idea of architecture type drawings, and since the focus of this area is buildings and offices, I am really excited to do a bunch of these drawings.
Thus I think pen and etching would be my preferred medium for this area which I am really happy about. I used to think pencil was my favourite medium, but until I got such good feedback from all my pen drawings it has given me more confidence to do more of them and become stronger with it. I also obviously want some colour in there, so maybe some neon coloured pencils would be nice to contrast the dark shadows of the high rise offices.
I am hoping to both take pictures and do some sketches. I am unsure as to whether The Quays is a busy place or not though I would assume so since many things are filmed there, how and ever, I hope to do as many sketches as possible.
Texture is something interesting I am going to look out for, because I think a lot of the buildings have a lot of glass in them. And the National War Museum also has a unique texture, so once I am there I think it would be really good to take note of that, and see how i could convey that through a drawing.
