My first draft of the essay ended up focusing more on the psychological reactions created by interiors and which features of an environment have different effects, the last part of it looked a lot at the psychology of colour and its importance within architecture.
I now have to start thinking about the practical work and how it will link with the essay, which I'm a bit stuck with because I don't want to just be drawing different interiors, I want to have some more meaning behind what I'm drawing.
In the essay I talked a bit about comfortable environments, like pubs, which use warm lighting, cosy furniture and layouts to make customers feel at home and comfortable. So I did some drawings of pubs that try to create a similar feel.
I didn't really know where I was going so I thought of ways artists use their tools to create different atmospheres in their paintings - and the change in light can make a big difference.
I looked at David Hockney's drawing:
I love the colours in this, and the obvious rays of light do help to make the drawing feel a lot brighter and pleasant. So I tried a similar thing with some chairs
I don't think it worked as well but I like the idea of using colour to create different moods
