STICKS and PHONES: 12"x 12" PLYWOOD


I got bought some plywood and had it cut into about 50 12"x 12" squares.

Based on the graphics I created from my twig and cell phone, I plan to reproduce some of the final squares on these wooden panels, as well as create new designs from other objects. 
I want to experiment with different wood stains in place of black paint on some also.

I've only done 2 so far, but hopefully I can work on them during break.  

As of right now, I have a wall in my house in mind to arrange most of them on.

PEANUTS!

as a review of our first semester of drawing, we were to draw a peanut in at least nine different ways [gesture, contour, sketch, blind contour, graphic, plan, perspective...] and put them together in a book to turn in the last day of class.

PERSPECTIVE - desk and room


For homework, we were to try drawing perspectives of interiors: 
- our studio desk
- a room

CONTOUR - my desk

PERSPECTIVES





I need to work on perspectives of shadows!

SITE PLAN - from a GoogleEarth Image


For homework, we were to find a building (house, public building, landmark, etc) on GoogleEarth and draw a site plan from that aerial view, trying our best to determine topography lines as well.

I chose to draw my grandmother's lot in Graham, North Carolina.

SITE PLANS



In class, we were to make to copies of the site plan of the Sea Ranch Condominium.
One must emphasize the building, the other must emphasize topography lines.
We also had to include an Azimuth in both plans.
