Myles - Week 2, Project 1 - Primitives

Week 2, Project 1 - Primitives:

This was Monday's charette where we had to try show a foreground, mid-ground and background using our instruments. I tried to use a series of screens placed 3 dimensionally in order from closest to furthest away as well as using various line weights and patterns to bring out the depth.

In this charette we had to show on half a page a balance of negative and positive and on the other half show a portray dominance between positive and negative.

In my first piece I tried to portray to counteracting forces (positive and negative) of equal strength pushing against each other.

In the second piece I tried to portray one of those forces over powering the other to show the dominance.

Below is my 'Refined Contour" I basically used different arcs, circles  and straight lines to show the general shape of my klecky. I fell it has produced a more robotic version of my original contour drawing.

These are the 3 primitive shapes i have made.

This is an updated version of my refined contour. I have added a lot more curves and line-weights to bring out some more detail as well as darkening the construction lines add a whole new level. I think i have improved this from my earlier version and will print this one to the acetate. 

 This is my final acetate model. I trialed lots of different shapes from photocopied versions. i found the square to be simple and effective. I do not like that the contour did not transfer onto the acetate very well but unfortunately due to time constraints i cannot go over my whole contour and re-print/ re-make the acetate model. 

If i could have done this again I would have made everything a lot darker so that it would show on the acetate better.

This week I have learnt how to use some of the different drawing techniques 

that we learnt last week in practical situations as well as getting used to using all of our  drawing tools.
