Clue #5,6,7

The car I chose to draw was a range rover. I decided to turn it into almost an older version. I made it have front curves like a vintage mustang and added some racing stripes. The wings are there for fun! I also decided to incorporate text like we used in previous clues because I feel it adds humor to my picture, which is what I was going for. I added shadows and made the center of my picture have the most color. I used watercolor on translucent bond paper. I like the way the material of the paper and watercolor work together. It helps go for the sketchy feel that I like.

Clue #2,3,4

For these clues, we were to do detail drawings. Mine obvious was my laptop case. We had to chose 3 different patterns and put them into the space. I tried to chose 3 that corresponded to each other. Then we had to use four colors and use different mediums of them. I felt I was successful in creating 3 livable spaces with the different colors and patterns.

#1: Storytelling in Perspective

Our first clue was to sketch two places on campus that have a certain significance to us. Both of my areas relate back to my sorority, Chi Omega. Chi Omega has changed me a lot and has made me aware of many things in life, for one, we are much more fornicate then most. People take for granted for being healthy, or even not losing loved ones to diseases. All greek organizations participate in "Relay For Life" as a part of greek week. We all gather to celebrate survivors of cancer and raise money to help prevent while providing entertainment to the families attending by performing a lip-sync. Relay For Life was so much fun because I felt it brought in the community to show the college students really do care and want to help. One person can only do so much, but joining together as a team can change the world.

My second drawing is the sidewalk in the quad. This is what I ran over when I was rushing toward my new home. Again, just signifying the appreciation for the change that Chi Omega has brought into my life.

These are a few of my favorite images from our trip! I found all the places we visited captivating and inspiring. I feel like the mechanics of architecture have been lost in the architecture we have today. We never hear of steps leading into a stream, or the corner of windows opening, or a wine bottle being delivered by a pulley. I really enjoyed this trip and learned a lot. I learned about the flow of space in falling water and how the structure is actually supported. I can't wait to go back again!

SAY WHAT?! extra credit in the sun!

I have always loved the graduating path. I think that area is so beautiful. it feels tranquil, even when there's 30 people walking through there. The atmosphere is outdoors and nature-like. there are a lot of shadows and trees that hide people from one another. The context has trees, stairs, a pathway, bushes, grass, leaves, and shadows. The scale in the first one i felt was right on but the second was a little off. it is difficult to see a progression from far to close in the second one, but the first one was the exact point where i was sitting.

attempting rendering.

The key to rendering is layering. layering colors and grays then adding some colored pencil does the trick. try not to let it bleed and keep a light source in mind.

Exterior Perspectives

I decided to do my exterior perspectives in the quad because of all the new blooms of spring! I learned that exterior perspectives are more difficult because there is no actual "back wall".
