INSPIRATION

Our exploration of value drawing is based on the works presented in the exhibition Third Realm, which is on until November 8th. Instructions for creating similar projects from home can be found in either of the following three project pages: Drawing Value, Drawing Value II and Drawing Value & Zines.

Above image still is from Zhou Xiaohu’s video, The Party Camp (2010), and below we have a video still from Lu Yang’s Wrathful King Kong Core (2011), both courtesy FarEastFarWest collection.

For anyone visiting the gallery before November 8th, download and print this ‘Seek and Find’ document before your visit, to help you look closer at the works in the exhibition. Or, use your personal device to look at it as you go through the exhibit with your family.

DRAWING VALUE RESULTS : USE A PAPER TOWEL TO SPREAD THE GRAPHITE, CREATING A ZONE OF VALUE.

DRAWING FROM MANGA RESULTS : USE TRACING PAPER TO FIND INTERESTING FACIAL FEATURES TO CREATE YOUR OWN CHARACTER.

USE YOUR RESULTS TO CREATE A PUBLICATION: BIND ALL YOUR DRAWINGS INTO A ZINE.
