Reportage - Stoke-on-Trent Museum and Art Gallery

For this module, I went to my home town of Stoke-on-Trent, and drew objects that interested me in the museum. These were then developed into the final pieces you can see. It was a scary project to do - going out in public and drawing - but was very beneficial and helped me loosen up my drawing style. The incorporation of maps into the drawings was pleasing to me as it helped situate the work, giving it a location and a historic aura.
