The exercise in preparation for our first assessment task was fairly strait forward. We were given the following instructions and a few tutorials to watch on YouTube. Overall I found it frustrating trying to get the wire to comply with what I wanted to do with my quick sketch and continuous line drawing of the head phones. I wasn’t happy with the result and did not enjoy this process at all.

Assessment 1 assets’ to assist you with these below steps.  

1. Choose an inanimate object from around your home that has potential to be ‘drawn’ with a continuous line (the wire). The more interesting its shape, the more detailed your work will be. 
2. Following the steps given in the provided handouts, create sketches of the object – keep these loose and rough. 
3. Once you have simplified your sketch place tracing paper over it and draw a single continuous line that captures the essence of your refined sketch.  
4. Using some thin and easy to bend wire (like floristswire) start to express the object through this continuous line. You may use your hands or pliers, just ensure that your wire is easy for you to manipulate. Make sure that you have plenty of space to work in and that you are aware of where the ends of the wire are and that you keep them away  from your eyes. 
5. Post a photo of the finished product on the Module 2 Discussion Forum – Part 2: Wire drawing or the line with no end’ with your reflective thoughts. How does it feel not to be able to rub the line out? What does the wire drawing express of the original object? What do you think of the end result?
