thumbnails. foust

These are 12 thumbnails from Foust. I learned it was a lot easier to draw from still life pictures then real life. I also convinced myself to draw without a straight edge and not use pencil, so all mistakes and everything are on this paper. Over all, I was proud of myself being able to give some sort of perspective without these tools. This building is made up of tons of offices and studying abroad programs, but still has a sense of old architecture. My drawings are from the top floor, which has less of the historical architecture but I tried to capture it as best I could. I also have noticed characteristics we have been learning in our other classes such as the clerestory windows and the sense of 3 "levels".

Window.

I feel like I learned a lot from this project. I understand what I could have changed to have a more defined dual moment of light. I would make the right side of my cardboard longer to create more over lapping and maybe even add another layer. As a second material I used tracing paper which gave the light shining through a sense of majestic "glow". These pictures were taken at 12 in the afternoon, but also consider that the weather was overcast. If we were to have more time, I would have added these components I have listed and it would have made my project stronger.

We also had to in some way coordinate to our neighbors which was difficult. But, I went with the idea of converging, and rain drops on a window. The long lines running into each other represent coming together as one while having the characteristics of running rain.
