Apple Art

The goal of this sketch was to draw a piece of fruit, and then a section of a fruit. My sketch is pretty simple, but I think with this sketch it helped me gain perspective. With this sketch you had to look at an object as a whole and then create the same image but in a different state. Witch relates to the drawing of sections and elevations in interior design work. What I think i could work on is shading and creating dimension within all my sketches.

Corner Room

The goal of this sketch was to draw the corner of any room of your choice. With this sketch i really had to work on three dimensional drawing. I really had to think of positioning and perspective with three dimensional objects like the bump out in the wall, the desk and dresser, as well as decorative objects like school supply's or wall hangings. This sketch really helped me practice these skills, mostly three dimensional drawing. I have lots of work to do on my 3D sketching, but i can only get better!

Negative Space

With this sketch, the goal was to take an object and on color in the negative space around the object. It was hard at first to imagine something in "negative space." I found myself redrawing multiple times, after realizing I hadn't include all the negative space. I decided to do this lamp because it had a simple outline, but with the necklace it added something a little more difficult. Sketching is a skill that I would really like to improve in, and by doing this sketch I was able to learn the basics of outlining, and looking at an object by its figure rather than its details within it. This makes it easier for me to see objects differently, as well as knowing where to begin in a sketch.

Textile Pattern

The inspiration of this design came from a Scottish Heritage. In Scotland there are different "clans" that mark your family blood line. The clan represetned here is the Macgregor Clan, Which inclues a crest with a lion and a crown, with the saying "Rioghal Mo Dhream" meaning "My Race is Royal." Both the lion and the saying are included in this textile.

The focal point of the pattern is the letter "S," This stands for three things, of course Scotland, but also Skinner and Scott. Scott is my dads name, and it's from his side where the Scotish blood line comes from. Skinner, is the surname that is associated with the Macgregor clan. Also there are two flowers that surround the "S," and these are Thistle, a flower that Scotland is known for. Lastly, there is bagpipe at the bottom of the "S," and this too is a known instrument of Scotland, and also happens to be one of my dads favorite choices of musical entertainment. (his one flaw, according to my mom). The color scheme is based off the Scottish flag which is royal blue and white, with the white part making an "X." This also mimics the "X" that is behind the this decal.

This textile was put together in this way, primarily to mimic the scottish flag. The main decal, was created to mimic a textile pattern that had a compilation of different flowers and birds that were recognizable up close, but far away the compilation created a textured circle or ball. This textile was aspiring to be the same texture allusion but with different Scottish elements instead of birds and flowers.

I am very happy with the way the decal ended up, and I'm also proud of the compilation of images. I do wish though, that the decal looked more like the "ball" I had described before. I would also like to have added more dimension to my image, and more texture. As of right now its very two dimensional and sketch like.
