Creating the final piece

Creating my final work had been quite a process, as it went from a detailed comic book to something more dreamlike and collective. I had chosen this alternate technique as I felt as though the original style I had used for the comic book was not the kind of expressive look I had wanted as I had desired to create a more subtle, almost dreamlike piece.

[Quick drawings for the organisation of the final piece]

With the watercolours I had tried to replicate a softer atmosphere as they are each stories which were inspired by reality. With the use of ink pens I was also able to draw clear, detailed work with the inclusion of thicker lines in some areas to emphasise certain subjects and increase their depth. For the format of the final piece I had experiemented with two different techniques, the purpose of this was to discover which look would suit the style of my work most. I had first thought of doing the ‘Dos a Dos’ method which was quite fun to complete as it was a type of binding which had multiple folds, similar to a concertina book. The pages within this type of book would be a simple flip of the page kind of book, and despite the appeal of this particualr format it had clashed with my original idea of having my story concertina. This was when I had began to think of an alternate method that would suit the concertina layout. This was when I had thought of simply attaching the binding to the first and last pages of the book, as this would enable the pages to expand outwards and inwards at one’s will.

My final thoughts overall for the work I have completed is that it was not easy, however I am glad to have went through the process as I learnt to continue with my work and evolve from work which hadn’t always been a success.

Going Forward

The last few weeks of this project have been very quick and difficult to keep up with, I believe this is due to the many different side tasks which exist alongside it not to mention a change of direction in my own final piece. All in all this unit has been very different to the previous, moving a lot quicker and also a lot more independent when it comes to study, organisation of events and so forth.

Despite this, I have discovered my own strength of will and managed to move forward with an idea which will help me complete my work and keep me optimistic until the end. The direction of my café project has been a journey of progress, trial and error, but this has helped me in learning not to give up and to keep moving forward. For the final piece I had originally decided to create a concertina comic book. At first this idea was working well for me as I was able to draw out the story ideas and then place the successful ones into the concertina book. However once I had done this I felt unsatisfied, despite the drawings being neat they appeared to be too illustrative in the traditional sense, and to me it portrayed drawings without much expression and when I think about the process, I didn’t enjoy creating it as I normally would when creating an illustrative piece. With these thoughts on the project on my mind I then had a peer review where I had to submit work to a group of students, who, when they had finished evaluating everything, had confirmed my idea. Their issues were that my work lacked experimentation and explanation, and on that note I had also noticed this and began brainstorming ways in which I could fix my project. This was when I began creating a new interpretation of my original piece.

[Original comic strip idea]

 

To continue my piece, and inspire motivation I began thinking of another way in which I could express my interpretation of people within the café as an observer from the inside. I started off with looking over previous story ideas from my original documentary project on the café, I rememered my primary passion and reason for carrying out this project and so I got to work with a new interpretation of the story. With the scenes, I decided to make single or combine two images instead of boxing off each scene for the ‘comic-book’ effect. My goal was to create more of an alternative visual story without boxed restriction found within a common Western comic book.

[Experimenting with new techniques]

 

When I began trying out a new style, I started off by adding watercolour to the paper, adding more to some areas more than others to emphasise different tones. I then began my drawings in pencil, and when over it again in both thin and thick ink pens. Once I had completed the first drawing I was surprised and felt a familiar surge of optimism for the project, and so I began working more with this technique to see where it could go and if I would be willing to use it for my final piece, and after having completed a dummy book with this technique I had made up my mind to use it. Why I like this style is because it has a mixture of fine detailed linework, and then thicker lines that emphasise shape and different features within the drawing. The watercoloured background gives the scene a spruce of colour and atmosphere, which I believe helps complete the drawing.

[Extracts from the final piece]

 

With my experimentation being successful I began trying out ideas for my final piece. What I had to determine first was what kind of format I was going to choose for my final piece, I knew it would be a book of some kind but I had a variety of formats to choose from. What had come to mind was a concertina layout, but as I had used it before I am unsure, there is also the original book layout that you can find in any book store.

My next steps are to complete my story collection, and choose a book format. The format will be ideally A-6 sized and either separate or together as one collection of stories.

 

Experimenting with Exhibition

For the past two days I had been working on creating an experimental mock-up of a potential outcome for my project. My idea is to create an illustrative narrative from inspiration I receive in the café, however for experimental purposes I decided to create a kind of 2-D pop-up version of potential narrative. At first I did carry out a short story, however with this opportunity to take a risk with an alternative idea I decided it could be more inspiring and educational.

With watercolour paper I created the walls of the interior of a café, cutting out a large window on one side to make it seem more interesting and realistic. I then began drawing the different elements of this particular interior you would normally come to expect, such as the wooden paneling on the walls, a door, some tiles on the floor and a canvas for personal touch. What I did next was the 2-D pop-up props, including a couple of tables, hot chocolate, traybakes, a cabinet, light shade and customer. I used watercolours to give my piece more life and character, and it would have been completed with more in the cafe if I had the time to complete it. However despite this it was still useful for my experimentation as I was able to view this café environment from different angles, and this comes in handy when it comes to creating storyboards as you can present scenes in alternate ways you may not have thought of before.

In continuation of this task, my next step was to set-up a mini exhibition in three locations of my choice. This exercise was to get us thinking about the exhibition, such as the importance of space, placement and background which would suit the piece, I had chosen places which I thought complimented my small experiment. This included a large crate which stands in the corridor of my university that often holds exhibitional pieces, I placed my work here to experiment with camera angle and scale in a solid background. I then went into the foyer and placed the 2-D pop-up work on the large grey tiles by the enormous window that held all of the green grass and nature of the university grounds. I liked this location as there was a nice juxtaposition of the inside and the outside, and it was a good metaphor for the concept of my piece as it is set within a café with a window which led to the outside. My final set-up was on top of a large cube instillation piece which resides amongst the trees just beside the university’s building. I chose this space as it was unusual, and captured the nature that surrounded it completly.

From what I completed during this task I learned that the space and surroundings are very important for the art pieces that are intended to be put on display there, neutral colour tones in the designated space is good for exhibitional pieces as there is nothing to take away from the featured art work. My camera skills were not the best when capturing my work set-up in the exhibitional space, however the idea was there and that was what to task had asked for.

 

The Workshop’s Workshop

Around two weeks ago I took part in a group workshop about workshops. Basically this was an opportunity to understand the process and possibilities when setting up and running a workshop.

With my group, we were given the key word, ’empower’, and our task was to create a workshop which helped people to reach feelings of empowerment. Of course, empowerment consists of having self-confidence mostly, so we came up with ways in which people could achieve confidence. Some of our ideas was to set-up a kind of art station where there would be balloons full of paint, and the participants job would be to aim at them with a dart in hopes of popping them. Another idea was to create a 2D tree, where you could attach written worries and personal issues onto the branches. Our final idea was to set-up a completely expressive environment with large pieces of paper to cover the wall, where volunteers would have the opportunity to use paints, inks, crayons and pens all across the paper and create whatever they desire, inspired by their feelings and emotions that they would otherwise keep hidden and repressed.

[Images from the live Exhibition, from set-up to launch]

For the set-up we decided on the name ‘Expressive Space’ for the event, which we then placed large sheets of paper across the wall in the hallway. Then with number of supplies we put paint brushes, paints, pens, markers and inks across the shelve below the paper so as people could access the suitable materials for their time of expression. When our event was ready to go, a lot of students crowded into the hallway to participate. However, afterwards we had received some feedback which weren’t enitrely positive, as some students would have preferred to have been alone or in a smaller group when taking part in the exhibition, as they did not feel comfortable in expressing themselves freely with a crowd of people watching. So perhaps if this event happens again in the future we can put this under consideration, and have just four or five people to take part per session to encourage them to feel as free and unjudged as possible.

Overall this workshop was interesting, and not my favourite, however, it was useful in regards to experiencing the process of setting one up. I learnt the value in sharing with and listening to the ideas of my team, and also the realities of what we want to set up and time in which we have to make it possible. Our event did work well, and in future if we work with this idea again, we can put the feedback of the participants into effect and hopefully carry out a more successful workshop.

Exhibition: The London Trip

To further my understanding of the ‘Exhitibion’ project I also had to remember the actual exhibition part, which was entirely new to me as I have only ever held an exhibition once, however I had no part in the setting up of the event, just providing the art piece for them to present.

My tutor believed it would be a good idea to suggest that myself and the class take a trip to London to view three different types of exhibitions to get a feel for the various types of set-up and options available.

The first location was called ‘The Drawing Room’, which held exhibits of a menagerie of diverse works of art. Each piece was very different from the other as they were completed by a variety of artists, all coming from different perspective points and medium usage. Whether or not I liked it is hard to clarify, even at this point. I believe the space was intended for people who create, or have an interest in art, as with the many different styles it would be a good exhibition to view if you wanted some inspiration as to what kind of art you would be interested in creating. The set-up itself was creative, as each piece placed on the wall consisted of an unorthodox position, and no piece of art matched the other as they were all unique and individual.

[Images depicting exhibition set-up from the Drawing Room]

The next stop was in Kings Cross to visit ‘The House of Illustration’. This exhibition was not free, however I would never regret the payment as this establishment was extremely interesting to view. Within this gallery, there were a number of rooms in which you could walk through to view the different artworks, and each of the rooms were shaped differently, some smaller than others. The first exhibition I viewed in there was a collection of illustrations completed by a few different artists which had dedicated their pieces to expressing the traumatic experiences and lifestyles of refugees and people living in war-torn countries, that are often repressed, or ignored. Each style was different, though connected by their concept. One of the works presented was George Butler’s, as he used waterclours and inks to create his recordings of Syria, with the remains of buildings and dead army tanks which children now used for play. The organisation of this room was well laid out, as each art piece had its own space, and set in a particular order, this helped make the work stand alone and tell its story. In the next room stood some works which featured the work of Ludwig Bemelmans, the illustrator well-known for his ‘Madeline’ picture books. Most of the work presented was rough sketches and plans for the narration, these were set up well and clearly so as you could actually examine the notes and sketches from the artist. The last room held artwork from the famous nun, Sister Mary Corita Kent, who had spent her life creating beautifully colourful screenprints to express her ideas concerning God and love. Her work was placed on the walls in a captivating manner, but mostly this was due to the nature and look of her work, as wherever it would be placed it would be an eye-catcher. Each piece was placed above another, in a row, some big some small, and this set-up created an interesting exhibition as wherever you looked there would be colour, and something engaging to observe. As I walked around the room I also discovered free posters of Mary Corita’s rules, which I believe was a good idea from the team as another way to communicate with the people coming into the exhibition.

[Images from the House of Illustration]

The final place we had all went to visit was called the ‘David Zwirner Gallery’, which had an unusual instillation of sculptures and crafted items presented around the building in order to be observed and looked at in a confused manner. The sculptures were particularly strange as they were made of recycled material, and sculpted in not one specific shape known to man. The information sheet on this particular exhibition would have saved a lot of curiosity, and should be a must if you are not familar with this artist or his work. The placement of the sculptures and other works did however help with the look of the exhibition, as each was placed on the floor around the room, making people have to walk around the pieces and observe them. There were also chairs which had been changed or effected by the artist, and this was apparently to encourage people at the exhibition to use the actual pieces on display, which is often an action you are never allowed to do. I believe people of all ages could attend this exhibition, however, perhaps an adult with an open mind, and general interest in the concept and work of the artist would be one who would most enjoy being there.

[Pictures of the work at the David Zwirner Gallery]

The trip overall was educational, I got to understand a bit more about the different types of exhibitions and the various was in which you can present different pieces of art in order to accentuate their overall look and meaning. For my own part in the upcoming exhibition task, I will keep in mind that the goal of the whole event is to make my work noticeable, and have the space work with my pieces in order to have them appear prominent, and easy to view and examine.

 

Exhibition: Watering an old project

At the beginning of the semester I was greeted with a task titled, ‘Exhibition’, it was of course new and unfamiliar to me, however I proceeded and began my investigation.

My first obligation was to choose an old project, which I would then study and come up with an alternative way in which I could interpret and create the outcome for. I decided to go for the Documentary project as I really enjoyed the investigation of cafés, and widening my scope of human behaviour, and gaining inspiration from the whole café atmosphere .

During my time on that previous documentary project, my original goal was to create a narrative based on the people and experience I had throughout my time on the investigation. However, instead near the end I had decided to make a subconcious, abstract piece which I presented on a concertina book, with my gathered information of the café expressed onto each page, combined with drawings, collage, writing and photography. The first outcome was a success, I couldn’t find fault in it except for when my tutor had mentioned my certain level of untidiness, as it was all done by hand and not digitally, which I understood though still preferred my original choices as I liked the idea of feeling each element of my project, such as the sugar from the small packets at the café, the texture of napkins, and the torn edges of newspaper, it made the story which was being told from the piece, more real and genuine.

For this new project, ‘Exhibition’, I plan on returning to this Documentary project and choosing a different outcome for its end. As previously I had the idea of creating narrative from my observations, this time I will complete this idea and follow through with it until the end. My methods for gathering research and ideas will be done through observational drawings in a café environment, notes which I will take during my time there where I will record the noises, partial conversation, detail observed and drinks/foods bought by customers. What I also plan to do is look into artists for some artistic inspiration, such as Lucinda Rodgers, George Butler, William Goldsmith and other relevant influences. My aim is to create a collection of subtle, short stories which capture the café, and the people that come and go. The narrative will be inspired by moments that I come across, such as the woman that decided to come alone to read her book, the child that came with their father or mother to have their very first coffee in the hopes of feeling more dignifed, or even something as simple as a pigeon walking around outside. Stories can be achieved anywhere you go, they don’t have to be amazing, just as long as they are real. I would like to express interest in the mundane, and aid observers of my illustrations to witness a certain beauty to it, in the subtlety and detailed nature of it all.

Documentary Project: Investigation of the café

After having completed the various experiments in expressing my outcomes from the research carried out in cafés, I have decided on what sort of outcome I will create in order to communicate the message. This was done through the observation of people coming and going, the baristas, the food and drinks available, and also taking into consideration the sounds and smells. I had done experiments with the study of people by creating stories through what I could see, I placed my ideas onto storyboards and had visual stories produced in order to see where I could go next with this. Despite the work having a strong case, I still felt that it was not enough to express my findings and so I went back to the drawing board.

I took time to look at all of the research I had carried out, this included voice recordings I gathered from the cafés I had visited which provided the whole feel of the place, with it’s unique atmosphere and sounds of friends laughing together, barista’s shouting loudly when orders were completed and the loud banging and noises of the machines they work with in order to give the customer what they want, along with the usual café jazz music playing from above. I also had some photography of various things I had seen such as the merchandise available, the products you can buy to eat, my friends enjoying their coffees and the signs from the various coffee shops I passed by or visited. I then looked over my research which I had gathered online about Starbucks and Caffe Nero that stated information about the companies, I also had some news articles that presented people’s viewpoints on their ideas of what it’s like to sit in a cafe for work or leisure, aswell as from some barista’s that state their tough time trying to please the customer and do their job successfully. The drawings I had done for the investigation featured mainly people in the café with their beverages and the odd solitary cup along with some food I had bought and thought to draw.

All of this research could not be held through just stories about other people’s lives alone, so I thought of another way in which I could make a successful outcome. I wanted to use a method that could hold a variety of subjects that are each different but connected, it would be similar to a journal except presented through imagery, drawings and writing. The idea of a concertina book came to mind, as when it’s opened, the story is continuous, all on one page and so, connected. With this method I can include various areas of my investigation through the use of collage, such as using my photography on some of the pages, in which I can write and/or draw over. I have completed some experiments of this method and with those I believe it has been the most successful.

[Below features images of some practise concertina books and drawings. This was carried out with liquid ink, loose material and some photography]

The next step forward will now be creating the finished concertina book which will be in a5 size, and depending on the length of the content I create this will dictate how long it will be. I feel very confident with this idea and I believe it will be successful in it’s presentation of my research.

Documenting the café experience: who are you?

To further my research into the café environment, I decided to look into the people that come and go each day. These people had inspired me as when I was studying the environment of a coffee shop, the people had a constant presence, faces changed often upon the hour but they never ceased to intrigue me. So I began my investigation on them, without the customer the café is just a place that produces coffee, with an empty chair and the potential of becoming something more. They give the establishment a sense of character, and diversity. Without them, perhaps there would be no such thing as a mochaccino or a one shot, soya latte with cinnamon on top, each beverage purchased says a little about themselves. Perhaps if they decide to get vanilla syrup, maybe they were in need of a little comfort that day, or a hot chocolate because it reminds them of family, childhood and wintery nights. People are comlex in everyting they do, and I wanted to look into the potential of expanding my knowlege on that.

I began by creating little stories about who they might have been, storyboards similar to comic strips of who they were or what they did before entering a café. I had seen a young woman a few weeks ago, with gothic/vintage clothing and necklace to match. I wondered who she might have been, I imagined she would’ve liked to read old novels not many people read anymore, she was someone who enjoyed herbal teas and chi lattes. Of course, I could never know for sure, but my imagination could fill in the blanks and create a story to try and figure it out.

The storyboard below is what I had thought up and created for my impression on who this young woman could be. I wanted the work to be subtle, featuring the quiet moments in our lives that no-one else notices or sees, such as the looks we make when water drips onto our faces, or when we water the flowers and walk by cloting stores and see things that we imagine ourselves in. I enjoyed creating this story, it helped me think about people and acknowledge their lives as someone more than a customer.

[Below image carried out with fine liner]

The storyboard below was another investigation I had carried out on a girl at the train station who waited on her train whilst holding a cup of coffee. I wanted to link the elements of the station such as the people and pigeons, I incorporated this into the story by linking the girl and the pigeon through a memory she had about herself and her father, she had been reminded of him as he had been a keeper of birds. And so the pigeon at the station flies away and all she is left with is a feather. I continue the story by having her sit inside of a café still thinking about the bird and her father whilst scrutinising the feather. I intended on this work being subtle and emphasising the delicacy of the situation as it was one of her core memories. By creating this story I have realised that an idea can easily be made if we just take the time to look around and give importance to certain subjects.

The original idea from making these stories was to create short narratives of the people I had seen in cafés, however when I had come to view my options on presenting my documentive research I thought this was inadequate. There was not enough association with the café and the research I had drawn out within it, though the sotryboards still serve as further investigation as I got to explore people for who they were, and from what I produced I was able to see that I wanted to go in a different direction.

An investigative project with Jonathan Hall

A couple of weeks ago a guest speaker had came to visit the illustration room, with a plan and task sheet in hand. These tasks consisted of content created to aid the further research of the documentary project, and mine was on theatre at the time. Actually, without this guest speaker I would not have changed my subject so quickly to the café if it weren’t for his challenging questions.

The task sheet made us think about the project from different perspectives, this included a journalist, activist, statistician and historian. It was an interesting angle, but also not the easiest as I never thought of seeing it from the point of view as anyone else, so I got to work.

Firstly I began with some tester pieces which exercised my research skills and my outcomes from that. This helped me get a rough idea of what I will do for the actual pieces for the task, as I got to experiment with technique, layout and also the type of research of was going to carry out.

After having done the preparation work I then moved onto the actual presentations of each point of perspective.

For the historian I chose to look into Starbucks former CEO, Howard Schultz. I thought it would be helpful for my research into cafés as Schultz joined Starbucks back in the mid 80’s, he helped make what Starbucks is today, with his trip to Italy he got to experience cafés like nothing he had ever seen before. In Italy Schultz had witnessed the connection between barista and customer and the importance of that when it comes to making the specific coffee for them. He had taken Starbucks and turned it into one of the world’s most popular brands. With this new-found research I created an illustration piece to express my findings. The piece I had created for this theme was a fun approach to expressing the research as it involved Schultz with a speech bubble explaining his first trip to Italy, there is nothing too lengthy in the writing involved and the colours are subtle and reflect a memory or recollection as it’s main colours are brown and black.

[Image below contains the historian piece which was made with inks, watercolour and brown paper]

Next for the journalist point of view, I decided to create an article on why go like to buy food and drinks in cafés that we may have previously never intended to do. I challenged the idea of using persuasive descriptions of products, such as the ‘luxury chocolate cake’, or the ‘carmelised pecan muffin’, it all sounds very appealing and something we have never heard of before and so feel privileged and special to have the chance to eat such delicacies. I am happy with the outcome of the piece as the detailed drawings contrast with the type, I also used a little collage by sticking some words I had found in magazines that I thought made it appear interesting and gave it more of a variety in aspects to look at.

[Image below contains the journalist piece. This was made using ink, watercolours, brown card and gold 3D paint]

With the role of the activist I decided to look into the eco side of things, often we go to a café and never think about what this may do to the environment. It was an interesting find, beforehand I hadn’t gave it much thought but the amount of waste in cafés is at an obscene number. I focused on the takeaway cups we often leave with to go on about our days, despite the cup being made of paper, there is polythylene lined within the make-up of these innocent coffee holders, it prevents the cup from getting soggy from a rainy day and also unfortunately, from being recycled. The outcome for this research I believe worked well as it’s simple yet effective. The image consists of mainly facts but aslo a small diagram of the coffee cup to present the parts of the cup that contains plastic. I also tried to make the piece vocal and bold with the words in order to communicate an in-your-face message.

[Image below contains an activists point of view, this was created with sugar paper, brown card and a sharpie]

The last point of perspective was of the statistician, which at first I was quite unsure of how I could apply that to a café. I thought of looking into what may be the most popular drink bought in the UK, and then of which café is most visited, I chose the latter. From a blog I had found online she had rated three cafés from the best to the less vistited, the first was Caffe Nero, second Costa and third Starbucks.

I completed this piece by drawing café establishments over the top of relaxing images with fine liner and stating the reasons as to why they were where they were in the ranks, along with a quotation from the blog. I admit this piece could have been done better when it comes to presentation, it could have been neater and better laid out, however despite this I like the drawings as it gives the piece an alternative look.

[Image below depicts three of the UK’s most popular cafés, the piece was made with cut-outs of scenery I deemed relaxing, with fine liner to draw the cafés and marker]

Overall I found this task very helpful as it challenged my way of thinking about my topic, it got me looking into alternate information that I would have before never looked into. This aided my research and perspective on cafés, and so would help me come to create my final piece for the project as I come to add information and opinions throughout the presentation of my documentation.

Documentary Project: The journey to a familiar place

The project began with the task of finding a company that I could investigate and document in the form of illustrative reportage. This was a new topic for me to work on, taking on the job as a reporter seemed exciting and I was ready to explore through an investigative spectacle.

The first company I had come into contact with was the Guildford Shakespeare Company, which is a small independent organisation that set-up shows throughout the year. I chose to work with theatre as it was something that had always been a subject of intrigue and colour, a place where people are allowed to go onstage and perform as someone completely different, whether that be a character from a Shakespeare play or famous novel. It was an opportunity for someone to be outlandish and outspoken, and I believed that this would make an interesting topic to study further in the spirit of the project. When I had arrived at the building I was met with a warm greeting, and I was shown into the office where plays are organised and brought together. Our conversation revolved around what type of work I was going to carry out in their organisation, I had explained that I would like to investigate through drawing and voice recording the whole process of theatre and what it takes to create a world with elements of magic. Everything had been approved by the time the interview was complete, however, I had roughly three months to build this case, but was only given three arranged meetings to complete the work, and this simply wasn’t enough. So, with two and a half weeks worth of trying to figure out how I could make this project work, I had finally decided to put the brakes on the whole idea and consider other options. And that is where my journey towards the true investigation had begun.

 

 

[Drawings from my investigation in cafés around the south of england]

Within those two weeks, I had went out into the city and tried to find other ways as to how I could make-up for the work I was not able to do at the company. I decided to visit cafés around near where I live, this of course included Starbucks, a personal favourite due to it’s coffee and American origins made visible through it’s decor and produce. I decided to sit down and focus on what I could see and then interested me. The one thing I could see most was of course the people, I noticed them down to the coffee in their hands, and the shoes they had decided to wear that day.  There was something so pure about observing life in a cafe, where people go to read their books, work on their laptops, spend time with friends and family, and sit alone to become one with their thoughts. I liked to imagine what thier stories were and what they might be thinking about, if we have anything in common as people instead of just strangers. So I began to draw, my investigation began with them, who are these people and what brings them through that door and into a world of espresso, I wanted to understand and try to work out who they could be. As I drew them, I noticed that I also had the desire to write a small piece of writing beside them that resembled a narrative. It was investigation from an imaginative mind, when I work in this manner I attempt to gain as much knowledge about the subject as can, such as the things they bring with them and how they appear. At times this can be quite difficult as it’s not easy to study people you don’t know and have never met, if you get caught you may be considered rude or awfully curious. I like to be subtle and unseen, but this want of mine has it’s own problems as this can prevent me from getting all of the information available for my project, but I get what I can and let my creativity play out the rest.

With the research I have collected I can now begin developing the drawings and pieces of narrative into a more in-depth study, with storyboards, larger drawn pieces with more types of medium, and detailed sketches.
