Scavenger Hunt!

Clue one: Sketch to places on campus that have meaning to you, I think my drawings speak for them self.

Materials, Color schemes, Applied perspectives

Rendering some possible materials...

Color wheel assignment. First we made our own color wheel's, I did it by making a wreath out of paint swatches. Then we demonstrated monochromatic, complementary, split complementary, and analogous color schemes using a perspective from a different studio assignment.  I choose a color similar to the granite.

Monochromatic: Different shades of taupe? browns? 

Split complementary

Complementary

Related/ Analogous 

Above and below is the pop art inspired scheme for Peter Max's (imaginary) studio

Monticello & Falling Water

This past weekend I traveled via bus from North Carolina up to Jefferson's pride and joy, Monticello, then to Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling water. Luckily, both visitation days were gorgeous, and so was the architecture itself, although extremely different. Below is a relatively quick sketch of Falling Water from its premium viewing point and and even quicker sketch done while sitting on the lawn in front of the backside of Monticello. 

People, Places

Although I could use plenty of improvement, I love to draw people. Over the past two years even more so. Last year I took a figure drawing class which i think helped me out a bit, but only practice make perfect. I think over the past year i may have improved upon being discrete in going unnoticed while drawing these friends and strangers.  Here are a few sketches, of different people in different places, time spent on each is pretty varied. 

A classmate of mine just happened to be sitting in front of me during a rather boring lecture, i mean...

Some girls from the UNCG Tennis team cheering on their teammate, a story of a day and a mood behind it. 

Poor rachel was bled though by the markers used in "girls of uncg tennis"! lesson learned. Above is a friend of mine failing at being studious. 

 

Planes can take alot of time waiting, good thing I brought my sketchbook.

Stuck in a layover I sketched this bored looking man relatively fast. I bet he is a very nice individual, but the way I sketched him (from my perspective he really did look like the above image) he looks, well rather..peculiar.  Caught in a moment.

I took my friend Rachel back home to DC with me for spring break...which meant doing alot of the sight seeing and alot of walking. On the metro at the end of our excursions, apparently this man had a exhausting day as well.

Back home, on ze metro...some ladies conversing by the doors. It was rush hour, aka no seats.

At a meeting, some faces came out angular, and odd.

Some exterior perspectives around town

MHRA building

Le Produit Finalment!  Our group collaborated in arranging some of the best images we completed to showcase the MHRA building. Carefully placed in this format, the super-graphic is the light blue squares curving in the background which are meant to simulate the negative space the windows in the round atrium create; A part of MHRA the group decided was a key architectural feature. 

Below are five perspectives from the MHRA building inspired and replicating works i found on urbansketchers.com I found trying to replicate images on different paper than the original was on simply did not produce the same effect. A few zoom in's and zoom outs on a tour of the Humanities building on the UNCG campus.

Below is an occupational plan and key. I tried to make the plan easy to read to through the simplicity of the color coded key. This was one of the first times using markers so it got me curious to see what else i could do..

Cataloging The Humanities building though thumbnail sketches...here are 16 moments I came across, in preparation for the serious of perspectives above.
