At first I struggled to get my head around this exercise but after going through all my sketchbooks and laying them out I was able to come up with some really interesting connections.

Summary:
I initially struggled to get started with this exercise so I went back to SCAMPER to help me move forward. Looking back through all my work from the course on my computer and my sketchbooks helped me to choose which pieces to print off to make into new sketches.
Reviewing all my work I soon realised there were connections already there, things I wanted to work on further like perspective, composition and viewpoints, soft and bold marks, line work, pastel colours, ambience and my interest in landscapes, environments flowers and objects.
Putting these connections together really helped me to prepare to move onto to the next exercise constructing a visual journal and have an idea of where my work is heading overall.
Onto the collections themselves, I mainly used my travel watercolour sketches as a base to create landscapes from, adding in my favourite elements which contained either flowers, people, trees and statues to give depth and interest. I enjoyed playing around with the size of the elements to change the overall look and to try to suggest height, depth and distance.
The last few collections combined mark making and ambience to show my interest in those areas and how I could combine them in new ways.
