Sketching Scavenger Hunt : Clue # 1

2010-04-21T20:33:00.001-07:00

clue number one: Storytelling in Perspective

chose two public places on campus that have meaning to you.
The two places I chose were The Quad and College Avenue.

I chose the quad because I think that all the trees and grassy areas are beautiful and the older buildings remind me of the old homes in Beaufort, where I live. Everything is very green in this area, perhaps because of the color contrasts between the redbrick buildings and the deep greens of the trees and grass.

I chose College Avenue because I travel down this little street every day multiple times a day. I see it busy and empty, I've seen it covered in snow, and also in pollen covered flowers. It is a beautiful area on campus and one of the best people watching places on the UNCG campus.

five styles

2010-03-03T18:21:00.000-08:00

This assignment was to take five styles utilized by different artists and create five compositions of the buildings we had to do diagrams of for the previous assignment. This building is the Mossman building. My inspiration pictures come from Drawing and Designing with Confidence A Step-By-Step Guide by Mike W. Lin, ASLA.

Thumbnails of Mossman

2010-02-24T18:07:00.001-08:00

These are 12 thumbnails I created of the Mossman Building on the UNCG campus. I sat inside the lobby and drew the things I saw around me.

2010-02-24T17:57:00.000-08:00

This is one of the assignments from the group discussions of A Whole New Mind by Daniel Pink.

We were supposed to draw the person next to us with only 5 lines, no more, no less. I then doodled on the page some interesting cartoon characters.

The one in the bottom left is a kid in an oversized home-made dinosaur outfit with a bunch of kids (the circle faces) laughing at him. there is also an "i-man" with a fro-like mass on the top of his head (originally flipping off the world) throwin' da deuces as he rides an exploding bottle cap! There is also a demon-like creature that is yelling to no one after finding a nice little present in his path. My imagination continues to ramble on throughout my sketchbook. :)

Light Moments

This is a perspective drawing of my light moment cardboard installation.

2010-02-24T17:45:00.001-08:00

This assignment was to create 12 thumbnails of the architectural detail chosen for the board in History and Theory of Design. The architectural detail I chose was an Ionic Column.

Watercolor People

2010-02-07T17:53:00.000-08:00

This assignment was to take pictures of 3 people interacting with a large object.

I chose to photograph a girl scraping snow off of her car, a guy walking past a large buliding, and a guy driving a chevy truck on a snow and ice covered road.

Watercolor Accessories

2010-02-07T17:48:00.000-08:00

This assignment was to take 3 of my classmates and draw and watercolor them wearing their accessories. I chose to do Antonio's watch, Shareece's earings and Blakeney's bracelet.

This project was to create a luminary out of 2 materials used before, plus another not used. The pictures show the progress of my design ideas. Also, we had to do Orthographic drawings and a expressive rendition of our luminary.

2009-11-08T17:29:00.000-08:00

This project was to build a structure with a certain dialog out of 12 skewers and 12 4x6 bristol cards. I do not have a picture of the final yet, it is on display in the lobby of the Studio Arts Building.

sketchbook Assignment- 5 interior spaces

2009-10-18T16:49:00.001-07:00

here are 3 of 5 of the interior space drawings. For some reason, my scanner would only scan parts of 2 of the pictures... this sketchbook assignment was to draw 5 interior spaces with people in them. ( my favorite is the bathroom one...i thought it might lighten somebody's mood...)

These are the pictures of my latest project, which was to build anything I wanted out of 12 skewers of equal size, and 12 planes of bristol board which had to be 4x6. The first picture is my sketch model, the second is my "rough draft" model and the third is the final. I will be adding pictures of my orthographic drawings later, which will be of the final model...obviously. :)

sketchbook assignment - This sketchbook was to pick 5 different leaves and then do a negative space, blind contour, contour, and a shadow drawing...here are the negative space and blind contour drawings.

2009-09-28T13:22:00.000-07:00

This project's guidlines consisted of making a 4x4 box out of bristol paper, accentuate the edges and incorporate straws with a 8x8 base.

Environmental Design Project 2

2009-09-21T17:57:00.000-07:00

This is the project where we had to make a container out of paper, fabric and thread for a special object. My special object was a little jade turtle that a friend gave me. Inside the box is a bed and a mini pillow for the turtle to sit on, so the box is like his bedroom. The pattern on the box resembles a turtle shell.

First HW Assignment ( IARc 1st year)

2009-09-09T12:46:00.000-07:00

This assignment was to find ten food items and draw them detailed with pen. I was really nervous at first, because I was taught to NEVER start in pen. ALWAYS USE PENCIL!! So, heres what became of that lesson Mrs. Kathy!! :)

(Mrs. Kathy was my HS art teacher)

First Project

2009-09-03T08:37:00.000-07:00

This is my very first project for Environmental Design. The guidelines for this project were to join two natural artifacts together with a linear object. I chose to join a stick with dead leaves, and a half dead leaf, together with a piece of ivy. Here is a photo

1st blog

2009-08-25T07:52:00.000-07:00

My favorite sketchblog is Crack Skull Bob's. I like this sketchblog because not only does it have a VERY unique name, it is filled with wonderful sketches of everyday things, and people he encounters. Each post has a story behind the "doodles", such as the Sunday morning talking faces, or the nice russian lady at the doughnut shop, and even the collage of people at Starbucks and the random "person" at the fair grounds.
