Line Weights = Depth

The Goal of this sketch was to learn how to add depth by cross hatching or drawing in different line weights. The walls or objects that you want to seem farther away beome darker. I learned a new way to create depth in a sketch, while practicing one-point perspective as well.

Fruit Section

The goal of this sketch was to draw a section of two fruits. I chose a kiwi and Pink Grapfruit because they were two friuts i had never sketched before. I also thought it would be fun to draw the interesting textures and layers that each fruit has. It was fun to experiment with the grapfruit texture, and doing these helped me think in perspective and practice line weights and shading.

This weeks sketch was to simply draw two peices of furnature in one point perspective. I decided to add color to these ones, and continued to work on my shading. I liked the way these turned out. I think i'm finally getting the hang of one-point perspective drawings!

Houseplants

The goal of this weeks sketch was to draw three houseplants. Now that I have learned a bit more about shading I've tryed to incorperate it as much as I can in my sketchs to create depth and a better quality sketch. I really like the cactus one but I would still like to be much faster at sketching. These sketches still took my lots of time and I have yet to be able to draw from thought. I had to look at a picture.

The almighty WHEEL!

This was part of the color harmonie assignment. Much like the chips, the goal of this assignment was to paint our own color wheel trying our best to match it to an already existing color wheel. This too presented itself as being a little difficult, especially when it came to red-violet. That color just seems as though it doesn't actually exist. I enjoyed this assignment though because I love working with colors. I learned exactly how much of each color is in what, which will make it easier for later projects and when I work with colors in general.

Color Harmonies

This goal of this assignment was to pick out 5 pictures that represented 5 of the color harmonies. This was one of my favorite assignments because it consisted of looking through home, and design magazines for "educational purposes." (always a plus). We then had to mix and paint our own color chips to match the colors in the photos. This was surprisingly hard, I now have a new appreciation for paint mixers, and the awsome machines that mix the paint FOR you. My favorite one is the complementary because of the colors, I love the colors blue and orange. This assignment helped me recognize that every room has a purposful scheme its just a matter of finding it.

the goal of this assignment was to display our actual process and thought process when creating our Room Projects, resulting in an actual 3D model. By doing a process poster it helps me see for myself the process I went though, and the overall themes that I used by collecting all process work in one place. Process posters are helpful for that reason exactly, now that I have everything in one place it will help me explain and describe my project better, in a more whole and clear way. I was also able to explore Van Gogh and my themes even more by applying them to my the actual process poster as well.
