Elephant

In my drawing class my professor told us to bring cardboard so we can create sculptures. This idea was a bit odd to me considering that it's a drawing class, not a sculpture class, but my teacher really enjoys thinking outside the box. (No pun intended)

My object was an elephant, from the photo you can't really tell but the elephant is a little off the center because the idea is to focus on the interoir and exterior of the object. Much like Picasso's s guitar piece. We're focusing on cubist ideas, and the concept of space.

Picasso's Guitar Construction 1912-1914

As you can see here, Picasso focused on the inside and the outside of the guitar.

Seeing Double

This was a very slow painting, it's not perfect, but I'm satisfied with how it came out.
In my opinion, this was a very successful piece.

Shoe

Wire Shoe Sculpture for 3D class.
This class is slowly becoming my favorite class because it's making me think in a 3D way when my brain normally thinks in a 2D way.

Line

In my 3D class we are focusing on line, or a space between point A and point B. It's very challenging, and for homework we had to write down definitions and physical properties of line. This is what I came up with.

1. Abstract/Metaphorical ideas/definitions of line:

• A representation of such objects 
• A distance between two points 
• The path of a moving point 
• Distance that suggests space and mass
• Where your eye follows 
• General appearance or outline 
• No solid areas 
• Not always made by a ruler 
• May be used to convey a certain emotion 
• The beginning of a composition 

2. Descriptions of some physical properties of line: 

• Straight, curved, wavy (type)
• Vertical, horizontal, diagonal, zigzag (direction)
• Thick, thin 
• Harsh, soft 
• Fast, slow 
• Organic (irregular shape), synthetic (regular, mechanical)
• Implied, actual 
• Parallel, adjacent, perpendicular 
• Tall, short 
• Wide, narrow 

Here are some examples I created:

Tromp L'oeil

This is my working on my latest piece in painting class. I enjoy the process and how it's looking so far. I still have a bunch of work ahead of me.
