Eclectic Projects Fragments 9 October 2019 – 6 November 2019 Back PA240829_800_600_s.jpg Images The project began in Drawing Room’s Library as a site for image gathering and free association. Students considered each found image as a ‘fragment’ and explored the relationship between multiple images in various arrangements. This experimental research process then fed into practical workshops delivered at each university, culminating in an evening of student’s ‘moving drawings’ screened within Marc Bauer’s exhibition afterhours, at Drawing Room. Co-devised by Study Librarian, Yamuna Ravindran and Learning Curator, Betsy Dadd, the project uncovered the ways in which expanded forms of research can underpin experimental moving-image and non-linear narratives.

Jarvis Woodman This workshop has been a great chance to explore the relationship between engaging with images and the process of drawing. I really enjoyed experimenting with filming the drawings we produced during the workshops. Yassmine Betioui, Student The project laid the foundations for students to not fixate on a final idea but to consider their outcomes as the result of a continual investigation, a working process. Research became a form of active learning, a form of play that was closer to their experience of drawing. They began to conceive of their work fitting into different areas of practice such as theatre visuals, experimental film, narrative adaptation, gallery setting and post graduate study. Martin Morris, Senior Tutor, Kingston School of Art The time spent in the Drawing Room library was such an amazing and exciting way of collating research. It was interesting to see little narratives form in the most unexpected ways. Freya Croissant, student This project has expanded my perception of the possibilities of animation, particularly the method of taking the audience on a journey through the image using the camera as a ‘driving force’ in the narrative Eleanor Blake, Student
