Part 1:
1. The goal of this project was to explore line and its different characteristics. There were 5 phases of the entire project, starting with line inventory, moving to gesture drawings, a sculpture made from the gesture drawing, and a drawing made from the shadows cast by the sculpture. The drawing would use the different lines created from the inventory. The last phase was to create a 4D expression of line.
2. I reached this goal by first tracing the shadows and then using my inventory as a starting point in creating the patterns and lines in my drawing. I continued exploring and found new ways to use line to make my drawing interesting.
Part 2:
- The strongest aspect of this work is the use of edges to overlap the different images in an interesting way.
- The weakest aspect of this is the lack of depth in the theme. I didn’t add as much meaning to the work as I could have.
- The composition can be improved by using nicer paper and scaling the different elements so that the frames of the background and the apartment contrast better.
- The project can be strengthened conceptually by adding some kind of meaningful message other than just size comparison of real world objects.
- The project can be strengthened technically by making better cuts and choosing the size of each element on purpose.
- Overall, I really like the layout and color scheme but I think I could have made it a lot more interesting.
