For our last project we had to design a post modern

piece. I decided that I want to do "Change".

So I took the Main building of my school and made

a visual timeline. Main building I tried to design

like the Obama campagnes change theme. I then looked

up the history of our campus. The Main building use

to be a confederate hospital so I drew a nurse taking

care of a hurt soilder; Then it went on the to the founder

of Peace College, Mr. Peace; to the girls who first attended

and then to the Women who attend now.

Materials:

Charcoal White Paper

9b, Pencil, Ink Pen, Vellum Paper

the bubblegum machine. DESTROY.

This project we were to pick one

complex object and interpret it into

three drawings.

In this drawing I took my object

and interpreted into a value. I wanted

to focus on the decoration of the bubblegum

machine. So I zoomed in on that part of the

machine.

Materials:

Cream Colored Paper

18x24

9b,4b and lead pencil

Materials:

Black,Grey and White Charcoal

Grey Charcoal Paper 18x24

The purpose of this assignment was

to see the object as a whole, and to create

a 3-D form in space. We first started by

outlining the bags, and then we shaded in the

darkness of the object, afterwards we shaded in

the light, and then went into detail.

Value faces was another assignment. The drawing approach used was to block in the value pattern. the materials used were medium vine charcoal, kneaded erasers, and 18x24 drawing paper. The lesson was seeing and drawing the whole before the parts and to draw with series of relationships.

In this activity I drew a skull. Measured line was the drawing approach. The materials used was 18x24 paper and vine charcoal. The lesson learned was to try to see and draw the whole before the parts and details, and watching out for "flip to grid".

For this class assignment I had to draw my hand using the Observed Continous line and contour method. Materials used was a 9b woodless pencil. Taking a sheet of drawing paper, I drew my hand slowly looking at my hand and the paper The purpose of this activity was to not name the object I was drawing.

For a class assignment I had to draw my hand using Blind continous line, and contour methd, Materials used was 9B woodless pencil. Concentrating on my object I did not look at the paper, but drew what I saw while ONLY looking at my hand. The purpose of this assignment was to see our hands as hands to look at them as objects other than what they actually were. Also to see beyond the idea of perfection.
