7 days / 7 landscapes / 7 mile radius.
A documentary of the landscape. Surrounding the Calder & Spen Valley Greenway. A sustainable transport route set up and managed by
Sustrans; a charitable organisation that builds cycle routes and works with
communities.
The formal elements of visual recording are used as a ‘road
map’ to further a journey through the landscape.
Index cards join neatly to make a strip. Line, tone, texture
and colour. The panoramic form lends itself to length (distance from A
to B) as an archive of the journey that was taken, whilst cycling to observational
points.
The elements of VISUAL RECORDING are:
Line / Shape / Colour / Texture / Tone /
Form / Space / Depth / Pattern
There are links here with Basic Course / Bauhaus / Johannes
Itten.
