WAYFINDING

In this assignment I was to create a mental map to the News and record, luckily for me, i knew how to get there, so i already had a mental map, the only thing that i didn't know was where the front door of the news and record was, and wen i got there i found a pleasant surprise. There was this cool bench sculpture, made up of copper and it had news paper prints as its supporting structure which id pretty cool.









A distinctive and legible environment not only offers security but also heightens the potential depth and intensity of human experience.

Creating Dimensional Forms via Shading

this was my favorite out of all the exercises that i did and i put it in Microsoft picture it and created a negative version which i thought looked pretty cool also.

Shades of gray on my fingers!

This shading assignment was very unique because I have never really shaded conciously before, ahhh! Yeah I was never an "artist" so didn"t do these types of things. So now I'm learming and what I have learned so far is that some techniques are definitely more easy to use than others. The two I used in this assignment were random and cross- hatch. I like cross hatch of the two and thats only because that picture turned out better, better use of my strokes in controlling heavier and lighter shading. but I'm sure we will be doing this again so I'll practice for next time.

SELF PORTRAIT IN B&W

Look its ME, or something like that! I ENJOYED DOING THIS DRAWING. i FOUND OUT THAT I WAS AVERAGE AND THE SYSTEM WORKED! THANKS JAKE. i DID MAKE A FEW MISTAKES AND I WASN'T REALLY SURE WHAT I WAS SUPPOSE TO BE SHADDING IF THERE WAS SUPPOSE TO BE SHADING SO I JUST SHADED WHERE THE SUN LIKE REFLECTED OFF OF MY FACE .

PEOPLE PROFILES

People IN Space

People in space! This Assignment was probably one of the most difficult to complete. I say this only because on a daily basis I am rarely around more than one person at a time that is still enough for me to draw them in there element. As you can see in the picture directly to the left. I began to draw the person in front of the cook and they got up before I could finish.
The second picture below was a quick draw these guys were having ten minute conversation.
The last is a picture from class that i really liked and wanted to add to my blog.

NOthing is sweeter than DOwntoWn!

These are two of my immages form downtown. I really enjoyed drawing the triad stage this little section of downtown has alot of character.

BIKE CONTOUR

This is bicycle contour is a perfect example to me how we have a preconception of how a bike is suppose to look and what we see in reality. With this piece i start in the middle and went to theright and I made the wheel in what i thougt it looked like and not in it actual likeness, as i did on the left side with the front wheel of the bike. By making this mistake it made it extremely hard to comlete the interior of the back tire. I hope I have learned this lesson for future reference.

THE LIBRARY

The picture on the left and right are of the same building but from 2 different views. The first picture was rushed and was done under some slightly extreme conditions. I was beginning to be irritated so it isn't the best work. The second picture was done under similar time restrictions but i was more comfortable with the location and settings so it turned out a lot better. I suppose the your physical environment can effect your quality of work if you let it.

This was my first successful blind contour and I can honestly say the only part i glanced in on with this one was the nail portion of my thumb and the etched lines in the base of the palm of my hand. It actually didn't tun out too bad. But thats my opinion!

These are three negative drawings of chairs. After completing this assignment It allowed me to really see how the space within an object really create the object and give you a sound bases for scale and a really great starting place for any drawing. I foresee using this technique in many drawings in the future.

M Y DIRTY laundry, Man if you knew this pile and how horrible it could be. I need to do my laundry once and week but really don't have the time. It usually doesn't happen but every 3 weeks. Anyone have a washer or dryer they want to give away?!

EINSTEIN

This fellow looks awfully sad, doesn't he? This is my replication of Philippe Halsman"s famous image of Einstein. We used this picture to help us learn how to follow a line.If you have a chance try to drawn this just as it is, and follow the lines, don't try to look at the object as a whole.
