PATHWAYS-EDGES-BOUNDARIES

These are some pictures of my group's drawings, models, and process throughout the Pathways Edges and Boundaries project. The first three images are photographs taken of the critique set up. (I was a member of the exhibit group, and we worked very hard to come up with a layout for the presentation that matched our conceptual designs of the project as a whole.) The fourth picture is our first model that we created to present. It ended up changing a little bit, but the central concept of the sand waves still persevered. The next two images are of our group's concrete mixing sessions. We had a right amount of fun making the foam models for the box so that we could create the wave effect, as well as fun in casting the concrete. It truly was a group effort and we all had a hand in the stirring, pouring of water, etc. Though we didn't each have our own small model that we cast, we all "got our hands dirty" in the casting process. The next two images are my plan and section drawings of our design. The top view is one foot by one foot, and the section view is one foot, ten inches by one foot. The final picture is our first model that came out. It turned out really well in our opinion, but we learned quite a bit about making our second one. Our second one, for example, had our waves connecting on each side so that they continued throughout the block instead of being random. 

Chapel

As I was beginning this drawing, it seemed to be rather easy to me. I finished the entire roof (the complicated part) and then realized one side was an 8th of an inch off. So I redrew it because I couldnt figure out where I had gone wrong. This time, I decided to start from the end that I screwed up on and ended up messing up on the other side! (Again, I didnt realize it until after I finished the entire roof.) Henceforth, I finally drew it again and it was right, but I realized that I started poche'ing the bond for some odd reason - which is why the chimney and such is darker :o] 

House Elevation

This was my favorite to draw and my best one. It came out very well, and I am pleased with it. 

better perspective drawings

The top image is a two point perspective drawing of the corner of my dorm room. I was very pleased at how this came out. The second image is a one point perspective of Clairissa Anderson's studio desk. Her's seemed a bit more interesting to draw than mine so I chose to do hers instead.

Perspective Exercises

This is a two point perspective of a corner in the critique room. It is a rough sketch, but I feel like it came out better than I thought it would. I am pleased :)

We were sketching a box in two point perspective while playing close attention to light sources. I found it rather hard to visualize the object in this way because it seemed deformed to me. This might just be the angle in which I was sitting in front of the object to draw it. 

North Arrows and Scales

Orthographic Projection Practice

Perspectives

These are four drawings of different points of perspective. We were to take photos of spaces with one and two point perspective, and one with an exaggerated lighting (leaf photo). These drawings turned out really well in my opinion and I learned quite a bit about shading and how the eye actually sees an object. 

Site Plans

Sketch of Track Lights

A blown up picture of my favorite light fixture I drew. I tried to capture the shadow on the wall with my shading as well as certain aspects on the fixture itself. 

Lighting

Three light fixtures drawn from three different views. We were asked to choose our favorite and blow it up larger. 

Hardware

Three pieces of hardware drawn using three different techniques.

Final Four Thumbnails

These are four of the twig and cell phone drawings that I liked the best. I tried to incorporate aspects of the twig and cell phone in each block. 

More thumbnail sketches

Thumbnail Drawings

These are various thumbnail sketches of my twig and cell phone, some are mingled, some are separated. Needless to say, the sharpie fumes gave me a high. :o]

dialogue 5

I have continued playing around with my idea, trying to make the dialogue more defined. I've arrived at my favorite model (the bottom image). I have found a way to make the movement more of a dialogue without creating more than two spaces.

dialogue 4

Tommy and I both started playing around with my second iteration and experimenting on how the dialogue between my two figures could be more defined. in this position, the two spaces are well defined, and the dialogue between them is created by the skewers.

Dialogue 3

I arrived at this idea from my first one. I really liked the skewers piercing the paper in an even proximity.

dialogue 2

As I was "playing" around with the project, I disassembled it and came to have the smaller triangle with the six skewers. This came to be the inspiration for my next iteration.
