In response to our location drawings that we had to collect in a 24h period, we created a concertina timeline. We used the photocopier to reduce, enlarge and to manipulate our original sketches, which were then arranged on a long piece of paper (a concertina). From this we were given the task to show the passing of time throughout the piece, which was reflective of when we recorded the drawing in our observational sketchbooks.
This is my outcome:

*The image was too big to scan in one go, so its been joined together in photoshop, which is why some areas don't line up or are double*
I am really happy with the final result, as I feel like the whole thing flows smoothly from left to right. When using drawings from your sketchbook, it becomes very easy for the images to become disjointed and separated from the others when trying to combine them all into one. However, by extending the poles and windows throughout several of the images, I was able to link the whole thing together. I then added block shading into the windows, which graduates from light grey to black - showing the passing of time. I think that this was particularly effective as it further brings all of the images into one, and also adds the sense of movement.
