Drawing Machines

Our second project was to work in groups to create a drawing machine. This had to be anything that made a mark. Working collaboratively, we experimented with body paint and balloons, before we decided we wanted to use light.
  

We found a prism and explored the dispersion of light on the seashore. We were interested in finding the marks that were unseen in regular white light, but marks that are essentially always there. We replaced the studio with the beach, so we could involve the sunlight, water and the pebbles below the surface. It was difficult with such a tiny prism, but we managed to capture the rainbow effects with a camera and presented photos to the group.
