Project 1: Self Sustained Wood System

For studio class we received a project where we had to create an object out of an 2x4 without using any type of adhesives. I chose to keep it simple and make connect the pieces so they would be sturdy as well as a system. I really had a hard time with this project because it was very challenging to work with the wood. I had never cut or connected two pieces of wood before so I think I did an overall good job.

Detail Sketches

I loved this assignment because it really made me focus in on one detail and draw larger! I think these three turned out the best and I am really excited about how my drawing skills have progressed.

Project 1: Furniture Piece

For our first assignment in drafting we were asked to create a desk for Pat that incorporates a seat/workstation/table. It also had to be different on every side of the piece of furniture which made it a challenge. The following pictures are my sketch models of my piece of furniture I chose for Pat. I loved making this model because I believe my piece works very well together and it is also very appealing to the eye. Below are my thumbnail sketches, sketch model pictures and my furniture orthographic drawing.

The orthographic sketches above represent my furniture piece.

Clutter Sketches

The three sketches below are my best clutter drawings for Perception & Communication class. I enjoyed doing these sketches because I felt like it didn't have to be perfect and I also loved using my colored pencils to highlight the clothes. For the shading of the sketch I used vertical and horizontal hatching.

Annie Han + Daniel Miller Sketch

Below is my sketch of the Annie Han + Daniel Miller exhibit in the Weatherspoon Art Museum. It took me about 2 hours to fully complete it and I believe it turned out really well. It was hard for me to figure out which light sources to draw because there was so many to choose from, natural, on set lighting and museum lighting. Overall I loved this sketch!

Clutter Sketch

This was our first assignment for Perception & Communication class... to find the biggest mess we could and draw it. We took direction and ideas from Ivo Kircheis' sketch of his work space.
