Hi there!
Well, it is about time I started this blog! I decided to not only keep you posted on the Steel Competition, but I also wanted to take advantage of having Design 4 with you to create a series of mix-media drawings (yay! So busy!).
This link >Steel Competition Program PDF< will take you to the competition's program guide if you wish to read this year's requirements. I am planning to do the Category II for Charleston, SC again and I am debating to do the Category I Building to Bridge.
This drawing is a sketch I did in class one day when we were talking about illusion of a space. It's a composite of plan, section, and perspective. I am aiming at exploring the possibilities of space making with the diversity of tools (ink, led, watercolor, acrylic, charcoal, Photoshop,ect). I really cant wait to do these drawings!
I did this collage last semester but found myself constricted to one medium, Photoshop :(
Excellent! Now you are set up. I like the Ps collage, but I know why you want to expand the media choice. Get in gear with the students in D4 and use similar explorations to focus you design energy on bridge. It sounds like a great match. They do a tower and you do a bridge. Maybe you can present to them when you are done. I checked out the competition. It looks great. I have also spoken with Nawari about music and structures. We can approach him later about providing any structural input you need.
ReplyDeleteYes! That is a perfect plan. I can show them some techniques on drawing too. Nawari is great help, thank you for reminding me. I guess I'll get started!
