Precedent

My next design for twigs reminds me of a canoe. Although my project does not come to a point on both ends, it still appears to me that i could set it afloat on a stream. It is sturdy enough to place items in it, just like a canoe does. Most canoe's are also made of wood, and so is my project...and some other agents. Thinking of my project as a canoe makes the thought peaceful as you would imagine a flowing stream, river, or lake.

Line Contour of a Chair.

This technique is pretty difficult, but I like the outcome of what it looks like.

Logs

2008-09-14

I enjoyed drawing the logs and think they turned out okay. It's kind of hard to mess up on them though.

Skyline

This was the skyline that was outside the window close to my desk...it's pretty beautiful.

Negative Space: Bicycle

The bicycle was hard to draw!

Negative Space: Chair

I think I still focus too much on what the object is and what and how it should be drawn instead of actually looking at just negative space, so I need to keep working on it.

Blind Contour: Portrait

These were pretty hard and I don't really know what I thought about them. This one is actually decent compared to my other ones...i'll post them later...but they're pretty comical!

3 Messes

2008-09-14

These kind of speak for themselves. In doing this activity though, I realized that I need to work on the way lines run and the view I see them in order to draw them.

A Place for A Leaf...

2008-09-12

In my place for this particular leaf, I wanted it to have a place of protection and security. The paper was a good height for it, as well as had a good color. I decided on black in order to represent security because when you think about it, policeman, security guards, they all wear black. (its also kind of intimidating) I also put the cuts in the paper for light to come in to represent life. I picture my leaf sitting in an office window seal with a large window where the light can shine in revealing life.

Up Side Down Drawing

2008-09-01

This was an interesting assignment I thought. I actually really enjoyed it. I noticed that at the top of the page, I was drawing everything really big and once I got to the head, I had to draw it really small in order for it to fit on the page. I think it would have been better if I just had some larger paper haha!

(Interesting I know!)
