Shade and Shadow

Using our 3D axon, we cut away part of the design in order to produce interesting shadows. We constructed shadows as well as shade that would be present if light hit the model at a 45 degree angle. The hardest project of the semester!!

Paraline drawing(axonometric)

Starting with a three-dimensional cube, we had to break away space to create our own 3D composition(axon). We then drew the plan and four elevations of the design.

One-point perspective

One-point perspective drawing. After setting up a pencil grid, we used our interior design skills to create our own room.

Lettering Exercise

We practiced architectural lettering by making up our own letters. Then, using our letter scheme, we created an interesting composition that implied movement, shape, or negative space.

2-dimensional design organization

After developing a line grid, we placed shapes and text boxes on it to create an interesting composition. Mine stresses circular/radial motion, using spherical objects and rectangles that move outward beyond the boards. My text was taken from "Exiled," a poem about the ocean.

Project 2: Shape

Using a combination of circles, squares, and/or triangles, we created two designs that explored spatial movement, proportion, and negative space.

Project 1: Line

My first studio project of the semester. Using lines, we were to develop three designs(one with 10 lines, one with 10 lines crossing, and one with as many lines as we wished) that expressed interest and spatial complexity. We created a process folder of various designs in pencil and drew the three finals in ink.
