PUBLISHER’S NOTE

Since the beginning of my teaching career in Korea, I have always wished that I had a book such as this one. This wish may have originated from my 6th grade teacher, who made a graduation workbook containing students’ writings, drawings, and photographs.

After my graduation and before my undergraduate years, I was able to see my growth in ways of thinking and understanding as a result of reading the book.

With my colleagues, I made a school book including all the graduate projects completed at Hanyang University in 2006. By reading the book, I had been able to cheer up and reenergize myself whenever I was exhausted and burnt out in practice. With these memories, it has been four years since I made the course books for the subjects I taught.

In my opinion, the curriculum in the first two years is typically more focused on visualizing ideas by converting them into visualized outputs that can be shared with others. In the second half, the focus is more on materialization aligned with the realities, such as building codes, social issues, etc. It is my hope that you will be able to improve your ability to visualize and sense scale before the second half.

During the process of creating this book, I learned something that I had never known before. I am gradually improving my skills as an instructor, learning what I have missed as an instructor, what I should remember when teaching next semester, which assignments to emphasize more, and what to emphasize less. Seeing the efforts and thoughts of the students that I had not yet discovered, I smiled at them and regretted that I had not been able to encourage them more.

I congratulate them on their successful completion.

As a final note, I would like to thank you for all the time I spent with you. Despite the fact that this design studio with you has ended, please feel free to contact me at any time. I will be glad to respond to your contact. It has been a pleasure having you with me this semester.

Jinoh Park, Instructor and Publisher

After receiving this book, each recipient may have a different reaction to it. In the past four years, it has been observed that it serves as a tangible teaching portfolio for instructors, a data bank for students in the event of unexpected laptop failures, and an educational experience that motivates students to create their own portfolios. What will be your reaction when you receive this book? In the future, when you are about to graduate, what will you think after reading this book? In keeping with this thought, I completed the process of making the book.

PROJECT #2

Hand Drawing Learning Objectives for Work #1. Blind Contour Performing a blind contour exercise isolates the right-brain’s specialty to see visual detail while inhibiting the left-brain’s symbol-based control of perception. This drawing technique purposefully negates your natural inclination to draw something as you remember it in favor of drawing your subject as you see. By doing this, you might begin to separate preconceived notions of the appearance of seemingly familiar things and practice an appreciation for what you observe in its immediate presence.

Learning Objectives for Work #2. Dancing Lines This exercise is designed to improve your manual dexterity in freehand drawing, and it introduces the opportunities for expressive pattern making that can result from precise and rule based geometric drawing strategies.

Learning Objectives for Work #3. My Window View This exercise is designed to discover everyday life by recalling memories, writing, and drawing. Through the discovering process, students will gain an understanding of how various media can be converted to enhance depth of understanding.

Learning Objectives for Work #4. Color Relationship The use of color in visual culture and design can achieve so many wonderful results. When color is used thoughtfully, it can alter our perception of spaces, instill emotion, direct attention, and even hide mistakes. Hue, Chroma (Saturation), and Value (Lightness) are the three components that define color.

Learning Objectives for Work #5. Shaving Cream Marbling Students will experience how 2D colors and patterns work in 3D space.

Learning Objectives for Work #6. Value in 2-point Perspective Students will experience how to draw a two-point perspective with greyscale.

Learning Objectives for Work #7. Outdoor Sketch It is our objective that you become more familiar with a significant resource in Northwest Arkansas, be inspired by its contents and spatial elements, and devote energy to formally understanding, identifying, and applying Art Elements and Design Principles as a result of your visit to Illinois River Watershed Partnership.

Key Themes: 1. Observation and Perspective: - Emphasizing drawing what is actually seen rather than what is perceived.

- Learning different drawing perspectives, such as one-point and two-point perspective.

2. Patience and Attention to Detail: - Developing patience and meticulous attention to detail required for hand drawing.

- The importance of precision and exact measurements in producing accurate drawings.

3. Exploring Drawing Techniques: - Experimenting with various drawing styles, techniques, and mediums.

- The use of color to affect emotions and enhance visual appeal.

4. Building Confidence and Creativity: - Gaining confidence in drawing skills through practice and iterative learning.

- Encouraging creative freedom and expressive drawing.

5. Applying Senses to Drawing: - Incorporating sensory experiences (sight, sound, feeling) into drawings.

- Observing and interpreting real-world objects and spaces through drawing.

6. Fundamentals of Architectural Drawing: - Learning to draw floor plans, elevations, sections, and 3D views.

- Understanding the role of line weight, stroke, and detail in architectural illustrations.

7. Emotional and Conceptual Drawing: - Using drawing to convey emotions and concepts.

- Exploring abstract and non-traditional drawing methods.

Lessons Learned: 1. Observation Skills: - Drawing what is seen accurately, enhancing observational skills.

- Blind contour drawing to improve hand-eye coordination and focus on details.

2. Perspective and Proportion: - Mastering the principles of perspective to create realistic drawings.

- Understanding spatial relationships and proportions.

3. Drawing Techniques and Mediums: - Experimenting with different drawing tools, such as charcoal.

- Learning to shade, outline, and depict objects using various techniques.

4. Emotional Expression Through Drawing: - Using color and drawing styles to evoke specific emotions.

- Applying creative and abstract techniques to express ideas.

5. Building Drawing Confidence: - Overcoming initial lack of confidence in drawing skills.

- Embracing imperfections and focusing on improvement over time.

6. Attention to Detail and Precision: - The importance of precise measurements and clean lines.

- Developing meticulous craftsmanship in hand-drawn work.

7. Connection to Environment: - Drawing inspiration from the surrounding environment.

- Noticing and capturing details previously overlooked.

8. Creative Freedom: - Allowing for creative expression and experimentation in drawings.

- Moving away from perfectionism to embrace artistic freedom.

9. Foundation in Architectural Drawing: - Learning the basics of architectural drawing, including floor plans and sections.

- Building a foundation for more complex architectural projects.

Conclusion: The “Hand Drawing” project provided students with a comprehensive introduction to drawing techniques and perspectives.

They learned to observe and accurately depict real-world objects and spaces, developed patience and attention to detail, and explored various drawing styles and mediums. Through iterative practice and creative freedom, students gained confidence in their drawing abilities and built a strong foundation for future architectural work.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - I learned how lighting effects walls and spaces. I also learned how wall, columns, and curved walls work together.

Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - From this project I learned that drawing what you see can make you see more then what you thought you did. It also made me think about how we see the work in different perspectives.

Project #3 “Power of Patience” - I learned that I really don’t have that much patience. After looking at a painting for 3 hours I did notice more things about the artwork then I did before.

Project #4 “Space Cube” - Project four taught me a lot of different things. It taught me how to manage my time and do things right the first time.

Project #5 “First Portfolio” - I learned that making a portfoili with all the projects that we did took a lot of work and made me happy to see them all together.

Overall - These five weeks have been so stressful for me and has been nothing like anything I’ve done before. Although it was a stuggle with very long night it was very rewarding.

If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

- One thing I would tell myself before the five weeks is that you can push yourself more then you think and you can do so much more then you think. You will lose a lot of sleep but this work is all your future and for you to do something you love.

Work #3 . M y Wi n dow V i ew

When I look out the window of my living room, I see all the other apartments around me. The smell of paint and sawdust swarm my nose. The sound of saws and drillers are going off, construction workers talking as well. I feel happy and frustrated at the same time, wanting the smell of paint to go away but also joyful that the apartment that I’m staying in is already done with construction.

While drawing my window view, I noticed that there is a fence outside and there is a balcony on some of the buildings.

After drawing my window view, I feel happier than frustrated. I smell more natural things like grass and flowers than paint. It’s also not as loud as I thought it was.

Work #6. Value in 2-point Perspective

While drawing my two-point perspective of my cement model I noticed that there are a lot of shadows in my cement model depending on the model. I tried to show the shadows by using hatched lines. Also, I noticed the amount of texture that my cement mode has, and it was hard to show that in the drawing without making it look crowded or messy.

Work #7. Outdoor Sketch

Being outside for this project was a nice change of pace. I loved that we all got together and had a day of fresh air. I enjoyed the history behind the Illinois River Watershed and how they are trying to protect the environment and the animals that live there. I felt a lot of different ways throughout the process of this project.

At the start of the project, I was not excited about sitting in the heat and was dreading having to draw twenty pages of the landscape. After getting used to the heat, I was excited to draw the landscape from different viewpoints. Seeing how still the water was, it made me calm and understand the feeling of the lake. The algae that was floating on the lake made the water look dirty but actually the water was fairly clean. The water comes from a cave and pumps out millions of gallons of water a day. I could smell the poop from the bats that live in the cave as I got farther back in the trees.

As I explored the watershed, I discovered it was a lot bigger than I thought it was.

Walking on the path to the back part of the lake the smell got worse, but the water got prettier. Also, the further you go back you start to see little waterfalls from the dams that were put there to help the water from flowing too fast and keeping the road from flooding. Getting closer to the where the water was coming from, you could feel the air change. The air was getting cooler from the temperature of the water. I also didn’t expect to see some animals like crawfish and snakes. I knew I would see bugs but seeing a crawfish really confused me because I didn’t know crawfish would live in water that stays around 50 degrees all year around.

After doing all my drawings and looking about through them I felt like I did a good job trying to draw how I felt from looking and being in the landscape. With the drawing being more abstract, it helped show the emotions I was feeling looking at the scene.

When the class met back up at the end of the project a worker stopped by to answer some questions about the Illinois River Watershed. With her doing this it gave us some great information on the history of the watershed and how it works. I am grateful for the work that the people of Cave Springs do for the watershed like keeping the land maintained, keeping animals safe, and doing burns keeping the environment healthy and growing.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” Project #2 “Hand Drawing” Project #3 “Power of Patience” Project #4 “Space Cube” Project #5 “First Portfolio” Overall If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

This course, while extremely important and useful, will seem convoluted at the beginning. The instructions and amount of time spent in the studio are daunting, but looking back, the completion of the tasks at hand was the most important aspect of the class. Completion, as Jinoh stated at the beginning of class, is ninety percent of the grade and something to be proud of. The times that I experienced doubt in this class, as to whether I should continue, were valid. But thanks to Mr. Carl, I now know that this class was much more geared towards interior design than anything else. Landscape, while not entirely different, asks for different aspects of architecture than what you are currently doing.

While the class was more aimed towards interior architecture, the lessons and projects are still important and useful for your degree. Building models, learning how to use software tools, and submitting assignments in a timely and orderly fashion are all skills you will need to have leading into the next five weeks, and in your life in general.

So, it’s important to remember that in the end, completing this course with your best foot forward is the goal of these five weeks. Be sure to look ahead at what is required of you and do your best to be punctual to class and pin-ups.

There will be moments of angst and doubt, but the moments of joy and completion of things you enjoy far surpass those.

Enjoy it.

Work #5. Shaving Cream Marbling

Picture of pop-up card

My initial marbling page was comprised of my second set of palettes chosen to show the sunset-like qualities of the nostalgia room. The sense of disorder and chaos with the almost calming colors of the palette convey a sense of motion in many directions. This would cause the viewer to inspect the image much more closely to see the movement and direction of the paint.

68 48

Scanned Marbling Paper

Picture of pop-up card

The second painting consisted of the same color palette as the first and was also created to induce a state of chaos and movement. I find that when I look at intricate things such as these paintings, I am able to focus on the minute details much easier and let myself drift in thought as I look, which was the goal of my space cube project and color palettes. This would cause the viewer to take a moment, just like with the first painting.

69 49

Scanned Marbling Paper

Picture of pop-up card

Your Intention writing The third painting consists of the initial color palette, a much more dull version of the second, and consists of many more colors and less of a single color at many hues. The less smeared and less intense color scheme is reminiscent of vintage wallpaper, something I had not expected but tried to create again as the project continued. This much less chaotic painting is inherently interesting and would cause the viewer to look at it from many positions to see the extent of the color scheme and try to find images in the swirls.

70 50

Scanned Marbling Paper

Picture of pop-up card

For this marbling, I used my initial color palette to see what happened if I intentionally smeared the marbling slightly and how it would affect the mood and color of the painting. The mood and color were definitely changed, but the overall marbling was surprisingly undisturbed. Creating almost a block painting from Japan, the smears creating depth and layers seeming to be mountains to the less smeared bottom right, the colors melded to create an increasingly interesting painting. The viewer might view this as a mistake or just see the smears, but the longer they look at it, the more they can see

71 51

Scanned Marbling Paper

Picture of pop-up card

For the fourth marbling, I used much more shaving cream and less paint. I wanted to see the effects of the marbling on a smaller scale, giving the shaving cream space to adjust and spread across the page. I feel that this succeeded with my goal, with the lesser amount of marbling being evident without being the focus of the painting. The darkest middle part was the most interesting aspect of the marbling due to my surprise when it occurred. I believe that it was foam below what I had just created and made an interesting contrast of color. The viewer would be drawn to this darker splotch while still seeing

72 52

Scanned Marbling Paper

Picture of pop-up card

For the fifth marbling, I used the second color palette and changed directions halfway through the pulling of the foam off the page. I love the marbling to the right of the project. I feel that the increase in marbling and color as the painting goes to the left shows the direction I went in an interesting way. The point of change is very evident, but I believe it would allow the viewer to wonder why I did it and see the difference in color, smear, and intensity between the two sides.

73 53

Scanned Marbling Paper

Picture of pop-up card

For the sixth marbling, which is probably my favorite, I once again changed directions, but horizontally, which cannot truly be seen unless you are told that it happened. The second color palette once again creates an almost vintage wallpaper of a painting and reminds me of my grandmother’s yellow room. The abstractionism of all the marbling papers, but especially this one for me, is a vessel for the viewer to pour themselves into. My goal was to make interesting pieces that were inherently joyful so that when the viewer poured themselves into these pieces, they would be drawn to the joyful aspects

74 54

Scanned Marbling Paper

Picture of pop-up card

For the seventh marbling, the second palette was used. Trying to convey motion both through the movement of the foam and the direction of my scraping, I tried to convey a sense of disillusionment leading into the left side of the painting. Even though most of the scraping was done towards the right, I feel that the many levels through the painting and the spread of the marbling, especially in the top left corner, convey this sense of dissolving and would cause the viewer to slowly move their eyes to the left while still lingering on the less smeared right.

75 55

Scanned Marbling Paper

Picture of pop-up card

The eighth marbling used the second palette to its fullest color and was created to display disillusionment in a more active and less methodical way. The use of fewer paints and the single direction of the scraping create less of a dissolving of the paints and more of a falling, like that of a waterfall. I was very happy with this piece for the foremost reason that despite the spreading, the marbling is undoubtedly present. This is my second favorite due to the boldness of the color and the almost uninterested movement of the smearing. I would hope that the viewer would find this piece less of a place to put

76 56

Scanned Marbling Paper

Picture of pop-up card

The ninth marbling used the initial palette to continue my creation of the yellow wallpaper in my grandmother’s home.

I tried to create a sky of some kind with the upper right being much more empty than the lower half, reminiscent of the layout of “A Sunday on La Grande Jatte” by George Seurat. I find myself drawn back to his paintings often, and especially this specific piece for the point of interest in the center, leading your eye to every aspect of the painting before realizing that it is comprised of thousands of tiny dots. I felt that this painting created the same feeling of doing a double take once

Work #6. Value in 2-point Perspective

This final space cube in the space cube assignment is the culmination of the many narratives and architectural arrangements of the initial project. This final rendition of my original park, containing all my favorite architectural spaces from my childhood, has become a space dedicated to the remembrance of these spaces, rather than recreating the spaces themselves. It focuses on creating a space to reflect on and enjoy the past, while guiding the viewer to enter and exit the past through the future and discouraging them from remaining stationary.

The entrance to the structure is composed of two semi-circle columns containing stairs, which signify entering and exiting through the future. When entering, the viewer is unaware of the building’s scope or the impact the space will have on them, much like how remembrance and nostalgia can unexpectedly affect us.

The entry to the first floor through the semicircle entrance leads the viewer to slowly gain visibility of the space as they climb higher. The only way the viewer can enter the space is through the same two columns, with the entrances always facing forward, towards the future. The viewer is able to enter the space slowly, one step at a time, moving from a tight, darkened space to a large, brightly lit one, leading to a sense of wonder or excitement.

The first floor consists of two rooms: the porch and the hallway. The porch represents the future and the idea that we cannot see the past while looking forward. The room is sparse, allowing the viewer to fill the space with their vision of the future. The skylight in the floor represents water, which, while being a reflection and a view into the past, symbolizes a clear future here. It encourages deciding what you want to be and do, and moving forward with that vision.

The second room on the first floor is the hallway. This is the only aspect of the structure that is not filled with nostalgia or joy but is imperative when speaking about nostalgia. The space is not one the viewer would want to spend much time in, with the walls allowing little light and the windows of varying sizes, leading the viewer to feel the imbalance in an otherwise balanced structure. This space represents the stagnation often felt with nostalgia, the trap of getting caught in our memories, making both the future and past seem threatening, and not moving is seen as the only way forward.

This is something I know I experience often. Thinking back on fond memories can lead to less pleasant memories or emotions, and can affect our future or make us question if our current path is indeed the correct one. The thing about this mental space is that it is not reality, and much like the structure of the hallway, is very easy to escape. By moving from this mindset into the more open future, or looking to the second floor at a well-lit past, we are forced to reassess our emotional state. This would lead the viewer to understand that their current mindset is unsustainable, and not half as enjoyable as the two other spaces they could be in.

The second floor consists of the room of memory, with the eye of the past being the epicenter of the structure. With the entrance of the floor coming from a staircase facing the future, the room dedicated to the past is very much separated.

Work #7. Outdoor Sketch As someone who spent a lot of her formative years in the Louisiana woods, hiking and otherwise spending time outside, I really appreciated this day. I am always so surprised at the amazing outdoor spaces around NWA and was once again stunned by the beauty of this space. I had a lot of fun spending time sitting in the grass and drawing the most interesting parts of the scenic landscape, as well as smaller, more intimate details.

While the water and the cave were magnificent, my favorite part of the space was the hiking trail that led to the top of the hill within the few acres of the area. I found it very relaxing and enjoyable to sit and look around at the developing houses and woods, observing the invasive and native plants fighting for light.

I was silly and landed on my ankle wrong after climbing onto the roof of an abandoned well to see what was inside. After that, I made my way back to the group. It was worth it to see the interesting space inside the shelter, which reminded me of when I would investigate abandoned homes in the woods behind my house and see the remnants of full lives. It was very cool to see the plates and old cutlery littered within the structure, making me wonder who, if anyone, had lived in the structure adjacent to the well.

I believe this is what the assignment was about. I added a sense of personalism and feeling to my drawings of that space because of my questions and past experiences. While I could have sat there and drawn the well and the adjacent structure (which, surprisingly, doesn’t have a door) perfectly, my rendition was laced with my history and desire to explore. As with the rest of the drawings, my feelings and personal experience created a work unlike any other, even if we had drawn the same space. In the end, I had a lot of fun drawing and hiking around the scenic Arkansas space.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - I learned how walls, columns, and space can affect your emotions based on the type of walls, their sequence and their placement.

Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - I learned that it is important to practice drawing what you see versus what you think you see, learned how to draw in 2-point perspective, and learned how color can affect emotions.

Project #3 “Power of Patience” - I learned that there is more than what meets the eye about paintings, especially abstract ones.

Project #4 “Space Cube” - I learned that iteration plays a critical role into a successful model, and failure can lead to accomplishment.

Project #5 “First Portfolio” - I learned how to use AI in an acceptable manner so as to not diminish the human experience and creativity.

Overall - I learned the basics of design school and how to think more about the placement and meanings behind everyday objects.

If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

- I would tell her that no matter what you think you are getting into, you have no idea what’s coming. Everyone is creative in their own way, and comparison is normal in the process, but don’t put yourself down just because someone has a different idea to yours because someone could be thinking the exact same thing.

Work #3. My Window View

My Window View is...

What I noticed the following after I drew my window view...

The first thing I noticed when looking out of my window of choice was easily the Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium.

The stadium is such a staple to the campus’ atmosphere and the size of it in comparison to the other buildings in view is massive. Although I did use this window as reference for my drawing, this view is 4 floors above me in a lounge that I frequented a lot during the fall and spring semesters. Now that I finally have to look at everything other than the stadium for this line drawing, I didn’t realize how much of campus could be seen from my dorm. For example, there’s a circular shaped building that I believe is Baum Walker Arena, another student living dorm Humphreys can be seen from the window, and I didn’t fully recognize or appreciate the beauty of the Ozark Mountains. Although this view is nothing special considering I see all these buildings every day, looking out this window made me feel very nostalgic. Because this window is in a lounge that my friends and I would hang out in over the school year, this assignment let me realize what I missed most about living in my freshman year dorm. Sitting in this space with nothing but the cold air conditioning blowing as background noise, the view was also kind of saddening. No one currently lives on the floor that this lounge is located on, which causes the entire floor to be empty and quiet when I remember it being very busy and lively.

Work #5. Shaving Cream Marbling

I like how the colors from the combination color pallet blended to create a murky purple color, I think it really adds to the piece. It also more closely resembles the “fear” icon from Inside Out so the painting is more easily associated with fear.

68 76

This painting is really dull and murky and kind of dreadful to look at. The black doesn’t stand out as much and the lighter gray tones come to life. The lightest gray that there is I think has a tint of blue in it which I think adds some liveliness to the painting.

69 77

I like how the blue and red really stand out from the rest of the painting, but the drips of the purple are kind of eerily seeping down the painting.

70 78

I think that this painting looks like a realistic marbling that’s dramatically dark. I think it also kind of has a soapy vibe to it, like the aftermath of a sink after washing paint brushes. I enjoy the darkness of the painting I think it adds an eerie vibe to the painting.

71 79

I really like the smears in this painting, almost like a printing error that you would commonly see. But in the context of this painting, it adds movement and I really enjoy how the marbling is really coming together more than it has in the previous color combinations

72 80

I think this painting is intense almost. The dark red pops out of the page and the murky purple mixed with the blues kind of frames the red into the center of the page. This again reminds me of blood splatter but it looks kind of like blood splatter that appears on what could have been a graceful painting.

73 81

The dark red and blue gives like a false façade of safety while the purple mixture slowly creeps onto the page from the sides that, as seen in the previous paintings, would make the painting really dark and murky and unappealing to look at.

74 82

This painting reminds me a lot of an explosion. I think I started experimenting with this painting to make it smear less, so I let it sit for a little before I removed the shaving cream. I like how in this painting really mimics the way the shaving cream looked on the page and it has a lot of depth to it.

75 83

I think that this painting looks kind of like clouds falling out of the sky because of the clumps of colors that are created that were then smeared when removing the shaving cream. I think it adds movement to the painting and creates some interesting colors from the streaks.

76 84

I like the way the purple and the blue accentuate the saturation of the red color, almost as if the painting is bleeding.

77 85

78 86

I think that the addition of color on my plaster model adds more emotions. The splatters of blues and reds and the inadvertent creation of purple from those two colors are very dramatic. The red especially reminds me of just blood splatters which is very eerie. Using the shaving cream method to paint my plaster, I think I effectively captured the emotion of fear through the chaos of the splashes of color. But because these colors are analogous on the color wheel, there is a sense of unity in the model. I feel like if I were to create more plaster models of additional parts of my space cube, this section would do a good job of informing a person that this is one long continuous space. Compared to the blank whiteness of my space cube and the dullness of my cement model, I think that the plaster model not only adds more fear to the sequence, but it also has more interest. I feel like I would be more inclined to venture through the plaster model than I would be 79 87 through my space cube and my cement model because of the brightness and the contrasts the plaster model has.

Work #6. Value in 2-point Perspective

I don’t think I really noticed anything too different about my space cube, other than the fact that the crookedness of my spiral staircase really stands out. Whenever I was crafting this I didn’t think it was that noticeable, but after drawing this like three different times it is painfully obvious that I tried to get away with my stairs being wobbly. Another think I noticed was that there appears to be a lot of empty space on my second floor. I think that whenever I was creating my space cube I was really concerned with everything fitting into the 9x9x9 cube, but I think that if I were to redo this project, I would add more interest to the bottom floor so it’s not too empty.

Work #7. Outdoor Sketch

Writing what you feel (see, smell, hear, etc.) before, during, and following your drawing completion...

Going into this assignment I was really on the fence about drawing outdoor spaces. I am notoriously bad at drawing trees that have leaves on them, so I typically resort to just blobs. I was additionally dreading being out in the sun for so long because summer is my least favorite season. Arriving at the site, it reminded me a lot of a park that’s in my hometown in Dallas that I would visit all the time. The watershed was significantly bigger, but they had a lot of similar elements with the giant stream of water, the damns, the algae, etc. Now that I had actually arrived at the site, I was more optimistic in my drawings since there was a lot of surface area to cover and a lot of interesting elements to draw. To start out, I initially drew with pencil to get a more accurate representation of the landscape with the soft pencils. Because of the humidity and the heat, I think I was subconsciously avoiding the charcoal because it felt sticky and I personally really hate making messes. After seeing a few friends’ creations, I decided to give charcoal a try. Initially I didn’t use it too much but the further along I got in my drawings I thought they were more expressive than a pencil. Making the first few drawings was really relaxing just sitting in the grass and enjoying nature. Smelling the grass, the watershed smelling which reminded me a lot of an ocean, and the old building smell of the pavilion were very nostalgic. The pavilion and the grass both reminded me of my old elementary and middle school which was a nice surprise. I felt more comforted by the area after seeing the similarities to Cave Springs to the DFW area. However, I was quickly reminded why I don’t go outside much and sit in the grass. After a couple drawings, I was continuously getting bitten by ants and was painfully reminded that I have an acute grass allergy. So, my time basking in the warmth of the sun quickly changed to a very itchy and annoying situation that became very frustrating. The itching also led to me creating a mess with the charcoal, as there was, and still is, lots of charcoal all over my legs. I think this is where the charcoal really came to shine in my sketches, as I think the strokes in which I started making my last few drawings were more expressive of frustration. Once I had reached drawing 7 or 8, my goal was to try and get these sketches done as quickly as possible while still maintaining the accuracy of the landscape.

There’s a gradual shift in my sketches that go from lots of effort from switching between pencil and charcoal to only using charcoal and having a very abstract drawing. Over the two hours of drawing time that we had, my mood dramatically shift from being excited over this assignment and having the chance to get out of the studio, to one of hatred and annoyance because it felt like all of the odds were against me. I would love to come back and do this in the fall, with a blanket and gloves to create a more pleasurable experience.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - Throughout this project, I learned how to create purposeful compositions utilizing walls, columns, and space. This assignment gave me the opportunity to develop skills in creating intentional spaces with consideration of the environment and those utilizing the space.

Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - Throughout this project, I learned a lot about different drawing perspectives and styles. This gave me the opportunity to further develop my drawing skills and to better understand my models and the spaces around me.

Project #3 “Power of Patience” - This project allowed me to dive deep into interpreting art and understanding intentions of others’ work. The assignment gave me the opportunity to gain a new experience and discover the deeper meanings within my assigned painting.

Project #4 “Space Cube” - This project taught me how to compose and continuously develop models of my own. It gave me the opportuniy to create my own intentions within a model and challeneged me to keep those intentions throughout a variety of assignments.

Throughout this project I was able to further develop my critical thinking and problem solving skills.

Project #5 “First Portfolio” - Throughout this project, I learned a lot about AI programs and gained experience in a new form of technology. I faced many challenges throughout these assignments but it allowed me to further my problem solving and computer skills.

Overall - Throughout this course, I have gained a variety of experiences and skills by completing and analyzing design work. New concepts and ways of thinking were introduced throughout the course which greatly furthered my understanding of design as well as the depths of my work.

If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

- I would share how important it is to understand the purposes and concepts of design while activley thinking outside the box. Along with that, I would tell myself to be confident in my ideas and work and to not stress because even during long, hard nights in the studio, life is always good when you get to do something you enjoy.

Work #3. My Window View Observations from Memory I see bushy, lush, green trees forming the horizon and leading all the way up to the backyards of the houses across the street. There is one large house, across the street, with a well-kept lawn and a retaining wall. The street stands before it until the hangover of the flat roof outside my window obstructs it. There are tall, widely spaced evergreens that grow a few feet past the edge of the roof and cover some of the house across the street. I hear cicadas buzzing, birds chirping, and occasionally squirrels scurrying by. There is some street noise, but not too much, accompanied by random sirens from the fire station a few blocks away. I smell the trees and often a sense of humidity. The air is always fresh and delightful.

New Things I Noticed There were many things that I noticed while drawing my window view that I had never given any thought to before. First, I had never noticed the unique shaping of the house across the street. There are a couple different sections of the house that you can see from the outside, and I had never noticed how it is all significantly different and connected, especially with the unique roof shape. I also noticed how much is obstructed by a tree in my front yard. I had memories of the evergreens that touch the edge of the roof but had never given much thought to the larger tree in the yard. Last, I don’t often look to the side edges toward the other houses that are out of view, but I noticed certain things about them like how the driveway on the left curves and the basketball hoop on the right.

Observations After Drawing Outside my bedroom window holds some of my most favorite memories, which I am reminded of every time I open the curtains. I have spent a lot of time over many years sitting on the other side of the window, on top of the roof, with some of my favorite people. I see beautiful greenery stretching from just past the edge of the roof, all the way to the horizon. There is no shortage of trees, allowing me to be surrounded by my favorite color, which always brings me joy.

I see a house across the street with a dynamic structure and a lawn with many curved features.

There is a street just before the house where people drive slowly during the day and very quick at night. My view is very high up as my side of the street sits atop a hill while the opposite side sits at the bottom. I smell the warm, humid air and the fresh scents of the trees nearby. I hear birds, bugs, wildlife, and the occasional howling dog. If I close my eyes, I can hear the memories of my best friend and I rambling about nothing, enjoying time together, pointing out the stars, and listening to our special songs.

Work #5. Shaving Cream Marbling

The busy and unpredictable 2D pattern on the exterior contributes to a blurring sensation of the 3D structure. The dark and free design makes it harder to see the shadows and depth of the 3D space.

68 104

For this structure, the 2D design being lighter on the face of the 3D space and darker on the floor and backdrop allows it to be seen clearly. The 2D design does not take away significantly from the shadows and dimensions of the simpler structure.

69 105

The 2D design being darker towards the center of the structure and lighter toward the edges allows for a better view of the 3D space. The darker marbling takes away a bit of the shadow and dimension, but with the windows and cutouts, the structure can still be seen mostly clear.

70 106

The 2D design takes away certain areas of shadow and depth within the 3D structure, however, with lighter areas of the design, specifically on the backdrop, the basic composition of the structure is visible. 3D aspects like cutouts and scoring help the structure to come across better within the 2D design.

71 107

The 3D structure is simple and has many cutouts making the space easier to view. The 2D design, though dark in certain areas and a busy, does not significantly take away from the structure’s shadows and depth.

72 108

The 3D structure’s composition, which includes large cutouts, allows for a simpler view of the structure within the 2D design. Though the design does not take away much from the shadows and depth of the upper portion, below the cutouts, depth and shadows are compromised by the dark, consistent design on the face of the structure and the floor, making it more difficult to identify the composition of the 3D structure.

73 109

The lighter 2D design allows for a better view of the 3D structure, especially as the structure allows for good contrast to the floor due to the cutouts and columns. The top of the structure, however, is more difficult to interpret as the design and angle allow for less visibility of the depth and shadows.

74 110

Though the 2D design is darker and busy, the cutouts and columns allow for a good view and interpretation of the structure.

In certain areas, such as the left edge of the structure, shadows and depth are taken away partially by the 2D design, but the cutouts on the floor allow for a good reference point to help identify the perspective of the area.

75 111

The dark and busy 2D design restricts the view of the 3D structure by comprimising shadows and depth. Cutouts, columns, and scoring contribute to a better understanding the perspective of the structure, however, certain areas of the space are much harder to identify due to the design.

76 112

The dark colors of the 2D marbling combined with blank, white areas between allow for a good view of shadows and depth in this structure. The cutouts and columns also contribute to a good view and interpretation of the 3D space.

77 113

The 2D design on this 3D model compliments the composition of the structure along with communicating the intention for the space. The composition of this model is simplistic and clean but the 2D design, including bubbled features, multiple colors, and an uneven spread, gives significant character to the simplistic structure and new, interesting aspects to the simple 3D features. The 2D design also greatly helps demonstrate the intentions for the space. As a plain, plaster model, the darkness, sadness, and chaos of the space cube, which the model is based off of, is not identifiable. However, with the addition of the 2D design, darkness, messy features, and complexities of the color and design bring the intentions from the space cube to life.

Work #6. Value in 2-point Perspective

There were a few things that I noticed after drawing my space cube from a two point perspective. Certain aspects of 3D features such as how some of the edges connect came to my attention as I drew. I also noticed some details about depth and shadows within my space cube as I studied it to draw. Two point perspective was a new drawing technique for me, so throughout this project, I also learned a lot about the vanishing point concept, understanding two point perspective, and adding value within a drawing.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - Project one taught me how the mood of a room changes with the rearrangement of walls, columns, and space. This prokect helped me focus on envoking emotion through a space I made and to be more attentive on how a space feels. Especially when these elements are implemented in real life.

Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - Hand drawing taught me patience and attention to detail due to the concentration needed when drawing or using my hands to put projects together.

Project #3 “Power of Patience” - Observing a painting for a rigorous amount of time taught me how one’s perceptions can change over an extent of time.

This excercise requires a strong time to be able to focus for a long extent of time but the result was the ability to truly understand the art piece to a deeper level.

Project #4 “Space Cube” - A continuation of “Wall, Column, and Space”, this project continued to focus on envoking emotion in a space but aswell as proritizing teaching me to able to support my ideas throught models.

Project #5 “First Portfolio” - I learned new software and digital techniques that will continue to help me in my career.

Overall - Creating my portfolio allowed for reflection on the projects I made through out the semester and I am able to say I not only learned some fundemental design elements but I learned I am capable of more than I thought coming in 5 weeks ago.

If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

- I would tell myself that this is not 5 weeks of perfectionalism and to embrace new ideas. Embrace messes and mistakes. I would add to ask for help and bounce ideas off others.

Work #3. My Window View

My Window View is...

In my bedroom. The window viewa the row of trees in the distance to the woods. The log lays in front of the trees creating a barrier from enetering the trees. Dry dirt from escalvation creates a flat surface. I smell my perfume I spray everyday. I feel cold as I constantly have my AC blasting.

What I noticed the following after I drew my window view...

I realized that logs I imagined were fallen trees due to the escalvation that levels the ground leading to the woods. I realized the curcular fence in the distance to makes a wall to protect the herbs. Lastly there is grass that peeps through the dirt.

My Window View is...

From my cold bedroom. I see the trees in the distance that makes a wall. The fallen trees line up in front of them creating another barrier. An orange fence circles the herbs we planted. Grass peeps through the flattened land. My nose numb from the cold smells the perfume I sprayed it the morning.

Work #6. Value in 2-point Perspective

What you noticed that you were not aware of previously after drawing the 2 point perspective...

When drawing the concrete model, I was ot only noticing the obvious size and shape of the mode, but I had to look deeper. When drawing the model, I thought that I had sanded the model down relatively smoothly and although that’s true I realized there was more texture on the walls and columns than I thougth. The columns and walls that act as a pathway had holes indented into them, and the smaller horizontal walls were texturized with horizontal lines imprinted from the board during the casting process.

Work #7. Outdoor Sketch

Writing what you feel (see, smell, hear, etc.) before, during, and following your drawing completion...

During the landscape drawing activity today, although it was quite hot outside, I was able to connect with the scenes more than I would casually walk through or through photos.

When I first arrived, I was a bit disappointed with the location. The water was still, and the humidity and heat were starting to get to me. The grass was sharp, and the rocks were hard. I felt bugs crawling on me, whether mentally or physically, and the overall first moments were uncomfortable. As we began the exercise, the experience stayed a bit uncomfortable, but I was noticing smaller things about the watershed that I didn’t notice when first arriving. Although sitting across from the geese I failed to notice their presence until I looked closer into the water. I failed to notice the rocks that can be seen looking at the water, the oddly large bugs, and the hidden spaces within the trees and vines. The pavilion reminded me of family cookouts at a lake or park, this invoked a feeling of not only nostalgia but familiarity. The forest and water reminded me of the lake near my house.

Leaving the watershed the feeling of disappointment that I felt at the beginning had changed to a feeling of well slight relief but also appreciation. The space had expanded as it was not just the still water and the grass next to it that I had first embraced myself in when arriving. It was now the pavilion that viewed the water and trees that hid the place's history. It expanded to the cave, now that I explored and noticed the details of the location.

The smell of the still water reminded me of fishing or being at a lake. The trees had a sweet smell of wood, and the smell of sunscreen filled the air where there were people. The sunscreen evoked memories of summer days at a body of water.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - I learned how walls and columns relate to space and emotion. How they can impact people and thier thoughts on a space.

Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - I learned how to ilistrate my ideas in both traditional and abstract ways, as well as how to draw diagrams of a 3d space. Ie elevations, sections, and 3d views.

Project #3 “Power of Patience” - I learned how to view an image with a designers eye. Disecting the artistic and design elements used to create a painting.

Project #4 “Space Cube” - I learned how to create a space in a limited area that can be used to express or envoke an emotion. I also learned how to simplifie elemnts in order to express the same emotion in a smaller space.

Project #5 “First Portfolio” - I learned how to utilize Ai in order to render my images into an example of what they would look like in person.

Overall - I learned how to express emotion and ideas through the manipulation of positive and negative elements, as well as how to understand what those elements are in understanding of artistic and design elements.

If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

- You can make it. It wont be easy but it will be fun, and you will love everything that you will do.

Work #3. My Window View

My Window ViewWhen I look out my window, I can see the trees of the woods surrounding my house, the bright colors of the flowers of my garden, my neighbor’s house across the street, the cars of my family members. I can smell the sweet scent of the flowers, the smoky tang of my neighbor’s grill, and the earthy musk of the earth surrounding my home. I can feel the wind and sun against my skin, and the heat and humidity seeping in. I can hear the trees blowing in the wind, the scream of children playing, and the sound of cars driving to their homes.

After drawing I noticed how the trees peeked over my neighbor’s house. I also noticed how much of my window was obscured by the trees of my garden. Another thing I noticed is that my neighbor’s house has an arched window above their garage and not a round window. I also noticed that the flower box my neighbor has is a rectangle rather than a normal flowerpot.

When I look out my window, I can see the trees lining the ditch along the road leading to the surrounding woods, the flowers of my garden, the fruiting plum trees of my front garden, the large leafy trees behind my neighbor’s house, the cars of my family, the trees in my front yard, as well as the trees of my neighbor’s front yard. I can smell the dirt, the flower of my garden, the smoke of my neighbor’s grill, the tears of the grass, and the freshness of the wind. I can hear the squirls chewing on acorns, the leaf’s rustling in the wind, and the sounds of the neighborhood kids playing outside. I can feel the warm light on my skin, the cool wind wrapping around me, the grass on my hands, and the rough stone on my skin.

Scanned Marbling Paper

Work #5. Shaving Cream Marbling

When creating this marble piece, I noted the similarities between the colors I was using and the colors of a piece of candy.

I used this inherent similarity to express a sense of jolliness and joy.

Picture of pop-up card

In this piece I noted the darker colors that were created by the mixing of the paints. Seeing these dark colors, I view it as a grungier path with these splatters of burning bright orange as markers leading one further along.

68 158

Scanned Marbling Paper

Using the expressive greens and reds I relate the picture to nature and the natural want for people to exist with it.

Picture of pop-up card

When placing the colors for this marbling I chose to swirl the colors. Creating a sense of flow and movement as though the paint were dancing and evoking a greater sense of joy.

69 159

Scanned Marbling Paper

This piece was the result of the mixing of the colors through repeated use. Through this I view it as a joy of expression.

That by expressing my current emotion through the paint I may feel a sense of joy when looking back on it.

Picture of pop-up card

Looking at this marbling I see a powerful flame with intertwining strands of bright orange spiraling through the deep reds.

I look at it and feel a sense of warmth and comfort, as that that one feels when sat next to a fire on a cold day.

70 160

Scanned Marbling Paper

Creating this paper, I wanted it to reflect the soft playfulness of the colors. I did this by creating an overarching circular pattern surrounding the entire paper with wisps of soft pinks spreading through the piece.

Picture of pop-up card

Using the bright colors of this composition I wanted to express the joy found in playful nonsense. I did this by allowing the colors to pool where they flowed naturally with minimal mixing.

71 161

Scanned Marbling Paper

For this piece I notice that with the congregation of the colors towards the center of the page that it has taken on a protective look. That with its dark colors being overlapped by thing strands of bright orange it feels like a protective barrier.

Picture of pop-up card

When creating this marbling I wanted to use the darker colors to represent the contrast between them and the empty white of the paper behind. Allowing the color to act as a ground and safety net for the viewer.

72 162

Scanned Marbling Paper

When making this piece, I wanted to create a sense of swirling motion in the paint creating this sense of calm and serenity.

Picture of pop-up card

When making this piece, I wanted to create an idea of flow from the dark reds bleeding into the white of the paper.

Allowing for this idea of motion in an unnatural and whimsical way.

73 163

Scanned Marbling Paper

In order to create this piece, I wanted to place the dark reds to bring an idea of anger and allowing for the red to be surrounded by the empty white of the paper and act as a kind of shield against it.

Picture of pop-up card

When making this piece I allowed for the colors to be very pale and light. Bringing an idea of imagination to the piece, and allowing the viewer to create their own story.

74 164

Scanned Marbling Paper

In this marbling I used more of my greens in order to translate the idea of nature into my piece. Bringing with it the calm serenity of nature with it.

Picture of pop-up card

When viewing this marbling I see it as a garden of flowers of bright colors.

75 165

Scanned Marbling Paper

When creating this marbling I had the idea of a rainbow in a storm. To show this idea I allowed the paints to streak as I removed the shaving cream from the paper allowing this sense of downward movement from the colors while still holding the wonder cast by the colors of the piece.

Picture of pop-up card

With the soft colors I wanted them to ebb and flow like the bends in a river creating a soft sense of movement in the marbling.

76 166

Scanned Marbling Paper

To create this marbling I wanted to express an idea of growth. To do this I added the colors to the shaving cream and mixed it heavily then I added more color and lightly mixed it to express it as a connected yet younger part.

Picture of pop-up card

When creating this piece, I wanted to expand on the idea of the joy found in an adventure and the exploration of the unknown. With this idea I created a marbling that settled in a way reminiscent of a map of some magical place.

78 168

As I applied color to the peice I wanted to exentuat the playful nature of the peice. Pushing the idea of joy through the use of bright and kind color. I also utilized the pale nature of the color on the white material to give the colors a rosy feel.

Option 2 Weekend Assignment

The painting that I had for the Power of Patience project was ‘Excavation at night’, a painting depicting the excavation in New York for the creation of Penn Station.

When I look at that painting a feel a sense of despair at the darkness and idea of the chaos caused by the excavation, but I also feel a sense of hope. A hope that comes from the idea that this sufferin will bring a better sense of connecting with the train station.

When looking for a place that reflected these emotions, I found that despite the brightness the outdoor area reflected similar emotions for me. This fundamental disconnects between the hard sharp concrete structures and the smooth chaotic beauty of the natural elements. In order to better show these emotions through my drawing I used extreme colors to push this idea that these elements while being in the same space are at a disconnect. This sense of sadness and even despair at the thought of this disconnect, and the hope scattered throughout caused by the idea that this connecting is being made possible with these beginnings. I also utilized the overall messiness of the colors to show this sense of chaos that shrouds the piece as a whole rather than something seen only in the fine detail. Allowing for a sense of controlled chaos to create the natural elements. While having a very unkind sharp edge on the more industrial areas.

Work #6. Value in 2-point Perspective

After creating the -point perspective of my space cube I noticed just how powerful the shapes are on the model as a whole. I began to better notice what areas became more dramatic due to the surrounding shapes, and what areas became more playful. I also noticed how the shadows impacted the space and the emotions conveyed by them. or e ample, areas with more creative shadows felt more fun and chaotic with a sense of whimsy.

Work #7. Outdoor Sketch

Throughout my exploration in the Illinoi watershed, I noticed many things that both piqued my interest and caused me to remanence on past events and memory’s. Often, I used these items of interest to dictate where I would draw and how I would draw it. At one point on the woodland trail, I entered an area with heavy tree coverage causing the area to be bathed in a shadow giving a dark green hue to everything. This also led to the area having a pungent earthy aroma. This type of environment was also something I often encountered in my youth. With my home sitting in an area surrounded by woodland, constantly shrouded in shade and earth. This also led me to hover in this area creating multiple drawing a short distance away from each other. Listening to the crunch of leaves and whisper on the wind.

I also found myself gravitating to areas of motion, whether inherit or implied. These places were areas like the cave spring itself, the sequence of dams, the pond, and the pavilion. All of these places being ones that related to what I have seen in my past. With me having seen a similar spring in Eureka, the dams reminding me of my trips to beaver lake with my family, the pond smelling the same as lake Bella Vista where me and my mother fed the ducks, and the pavilion having a sense of life and community to it. All of these sights, smells, and sounds lead me to drawing them. I wanted to, in some way, capture these moments.

In some of these captures I was more abstract. For example, on the trail I found an area defined by three large trees, so I created a drawing of three large columns that gave the same feeling of the trees. A drawing that when I looked at it, I could see, and feel, and smell the area that I sat in to draw it. There were also some areas that I struggled to be abstract with, because there was some much that I wanted to capture in the drawing. In order to do so, however, I found that a sense of roughness helped portray the natural element of the sight.

What I learned...

In the Wall Coulumn and Design I learned a lot about createing images that convey feelings and use angles and lighting to do it.

In the hand drawing excersise I learned to apply my five senses to drawing what I see and feel into a tangible image.

In the Power of Patience section I obvisly learned pateince but i also learned to dig deeper into art and understand the why behind designers choices.

The space cube taught me the imprtance of scale and being able to convey the same feeling through multiple different models The process of making a portfolio is very rewarding and nice to see all of your work come together in one space. I also learned to get bettter at documenting my work in order to showcase the time i spent on it.

Work #3. My Window View

Before drawing my window scene, I took a few minutes to recall what the view reminded me of; a memory, maybe another place from back home, or even letting my senses take me to an imaginary place. The first remembrance that came to mind was the first morning I spent in my new apartment. Staying the night and waking up in a new place is not an unfamiliar feeling to me. As a child we moved around a lot and I constantly packed up my belongings and transferred them to a new home and reinvented my style, bedroom set up, and had to adjust to the lights and shadows of a new space. When moving to a new place after the first night of struggling to fall asleep with new sounds, shapes, and aura in the air I always wake up particularly early. Usually, I wake up to the sun coming through my window with a surreal feeling of being officially in a new era. The feeling in my new apartment was no different. I remember lying in bed staring out of my bedroom window and studying the trees, neighboring homes, and people coming and going. I often still do this on a regular basis noticing the patterns that revolve around my little bubble that is my room.

After, drawing my window scene I felt a deeper appreciation for the view and the details that make it up. The roof extends horizontally outside of my window and I often think about climbing out on the roof like a scene from a movie. The tree line is high and I can intently watch the birds fly back and forth as well as the squirrels that jump from branch to branch. If I stand up, I can see down into the parking lot where everyone consistently parks in their assigned spots making it easy to notice when people come and go. After the drawing I had less of a memory to recall but rather new elements of the view to dream up scenarios in my head about what is going on outside. My window drawing reminds me of how much I miss home and the familiarity of a big open back yard. As well as the sounds that come with the nature that once surrounded me; song birds, and the dripping of condensation on my windows in the morning. At night is it the sound of crickets, and frogs croaking. I love my new apartment and the fast-paced life it came with, but nothing compares to the sounds, smells, and feelings of home.

Even further in the process I adapted new ways to scrape off the excess shaving cream that also played an interesting part in the finished product. Removing the excess shaving cream with different materials produced different outcomes. Using another piece of water color paper created a smoother more blended painting. While using a paint scrapper for the rest left a cleaner and more distinct outline of where my paints were first laid.

Work #6. Value in 2-point Perspective

What you noticed that you were not aware of previously after drawing the 2 point perspective...

In my two pint perspective it was interesting seeing how different angles affect my model while drawing it. While you can see more detail in some areas there are a lot of sections that get excluded from the view. I think this highlights the importance in drawing iterations of your models and to draw your model at all angles to see what captures your model the best.

Work #7. Outdoor Sketch

Writing what you feel (see, smell, hear, etc.) before, during, and following your drawing completion...

Taking a step outside to observe nature and draw it on paper was not as easy as I imagined it to be. Having had an interest in art my whole life I have experimented with multiple mediums and taken a variety of art classes that all taught me hard skills to depict a drawing. However, in the outdoor sketch I was asked to draw with feeling, taking my senses and drawing based on how I felt in the space and by the things around me. I found this extremely difficult. Switching from a left-brain background of drawing; being able to convey exactly what I am seeing with detail. It took me a few tries to let go of an idea of perfectly depicting a realistic view of my surrounding and instead draw what it felt like. Even after achieving the outcome of drawing with my senses, I still felt uncomfortable and unhappy with my drawings. The idea of perfectionism and the need to draw the traditional way still has a grasp on me. This project was beneficial for me to step out of my comfort zone and push myself as an artist. I appreciate the ability it takes to tap into a more creative space in order to draw from my five senses.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - Throughout the process of Project 1 I learned a lot about myself within the craftmanship area. When first beginning I was not sure of how to create specifc pieces while keeping them visually aesthetic. With practice of cutting and molding I was able to make clean work. I learnd that practice and itteration is key to creating precise art.

Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - When entering Studio, I lacked confidence in the drawing/sketchign field. I can now confidently say that I feel much better about my skill set that I gradually created this 5 weeks. For some of us, it’s difficult to stear away from creating perfct work, and I mean slipping into a sort of abstract work. I heavily put my focus into whether or not my lines were straigt and so on and so forth. But what studio has taught me is that art is completely subjective, you have the creative freedom to illustrate your own thoughts and idea. So over the course of project 2, I began to loosen up slightly and let my mind get into a sort of flow.

Project #3 “Power of Patience” - At first, I truly thought this project would lack in serving purpose toward my new skill set of interior deisgn knowledge, but sitting here today I know now that patience within art is one of the most key concepts towards understanding the meaning behind art. After visitng Crystak Bridges, I was astonished by the amount of details I had noticed after standing infront of a painting for 3 hours. With a group of people each giving individual feedback, it opens up so many new topics that reach greater than the eye can see. I have learned to enhance my time with work and delve deep into the significance of each stroke and decision made.

Project #4 “Space Cube” - The space cube drawing was by far the most strenuious yet rewarding project I completed in these 5 weeks. When first gievn the task of creating a large sequence phase, I found it somehwat easy and entertaining to have free range over my model. But as we progressesed to building smaller space cube models, I learned that I am able to convey so many new emotions and messages through my work. As I recreated each scene, my narratives or stories for each phase would be become more and more detailed.

Project #5 “First Portfolio” - AI is becoming a large part of the desgn work extremely fast. When asked to take our own work and create AI images, I was hesitant to follow through. I was scared of the fact that my work would be completely construed and alrtered based off a software. But after seeign the creations I was surpised to see that although my work had been completely changed it was not negative in any sort. It opened up my eyes to the hundreds of possibilites that are to come. AI is not a danger but more of a addition to creativity.

Overall - Overall, I had an amazing experince over these past 5 weeks. I have never in my life learned so many new skills and yet so much about myself all at the same time. This program is mentally challenging but so rewarding which continues to push me to create bigger and better projects.

If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

- If I could talk to myself before these 5 weeks, I would tell myself that It will all workout although you outcome may not be what you anticipated. Change is difficult for you in such a quick time frame but you will mold to the specificty of each task. I am extremely proud of how resilant you have become!

y Window iew is...

When I would stop and look out my window, it appeared that a new season had arrived each time. During none of those occasions did similarities e ist, the trees had changed colors, and the student body sang different melodies. While living in a dorm, my window often seemed like my only connection to the outside world. I relied heavily on my window, whether I was feeling the glass to gauge the temperature outside, checking eagerly for signs of spring, or listening for the e cited cheers of classmates anticipating an event. As for smell, I was never uite prepared for what would waft in ramen, laundry detergent, and an indescribable musk from four humans crammed into a small space. et, that modest window breathed life into me

What I noticed the following after I drew my window view...

After Drawing my window picture, I noticed how apparent the greenery trees are. The tree almost takes up most of the window when in full bloom. I also feel more connected to this image, given the fact that I drew it from memory as well as an image. I also noticed how much smaller the windows seem when drawn on paper

y Window iew is... verall, this window is not only my only source of outside life in my room, it also holds character and I hold a connection to it. The warm glow that comes through in the morning or even the piercing noises that come late in the night on speci c weekends, I am completely absorbed in its visual.

Work #5. Shaving Cream Marbling

My intention for this marbling sheet was to create a swirl like pattern of 4 more original colors while slightly altering their tone.

68 214

My intention for this marblng sheet was create an outer ring of more vibrant colors while still leaving areas of white in the middle creating dimension.

69 215

My intention for this marbling sheet was to focus more on the green/ble tones while stilll introducing a few warmer tones.

70 216

My intention for this marbling sheet was to create an overall cooler pattern with hints of pink/red tones to sort of give an illusion of the paint popping out.

71 217

My intention for this marbling sheet was to incorporate an opaque looking arera that allowed some colores, like yellow, to become more transparent.

72 218

My intention for this marbling sheet was to introduce each color around the page while also varying shades. If you look closely you can tell that each area has some sort of different color although they range in size.

73 219

My intention for this sheet was to focus more on the orange tones I created, I did tis by using more shaving cream and less paint to create a faded look.

74 220

My intention for this marbling sheet was illustarte a cooler arera that reminded me somewhat of greenery.

75 221

My intention for this marbing sheet was to illustrate a mix of colors and experiment with the pattersn created when adding new colors on top of old. I did not clear off the palette for this sheet therefore there is some layering.

76 222

My intention for this marbling sheet was to make a work of art thet relayed a vibrant message. The color yellow makes me feel electric and excited.

For my plaster mold, I wanted to emphasize the already highlighted areas as well as deepen the darken areas. I began by paintign the inside a dark gray tone. On the outside of my plaster mold I used colors from the orginal pallete created, the blue and orange tones were used with the marbling bubble technique. The splothces or dots of pink were used as a medaphor for emotions, as they come spiraticallya nd without notice at times. _ 225

Work #6. Value in 2-point Perspective

What you noticed that you were not aware of previously after drawing the point perspective...

After drawing my nal space cube from a -point perspective it allowed me to notice a few new aspects of my model. I was able to acknowledge the alignment of all the different special decisions. I had previously measured each addition out and when drawing I could tell that this paid off because of the straight lines. inoh had emphasized the importance of making each addition to the model, whether that was a cutout or a wall, the right measurement and scale. I found this tedious and somewhat strenuous, but I understand now why he was so adamant. I also noticed the change in lighting, since we are analyzing the model from a speci c view there are new shades of lighting introduced which also enhances the drawing itself.

Work #7. Outdoor Sketch

For this outdoor sketch assignment, we visited the Illinois Watershed Partnership. This beautiful, vast land full of greenery and a large open pond helped our class explore our imagination and emotions when sketching. Professor Carl asked our group to not so much as write what we saw but more of what we felt. Personally, I have always been slightly intimated by sketching. The natural flow of drawing never came easy to me, especially as I can be a perfectionist at times. But as I relaxed and let the surrounding area inspire me, I began to enter a sort of flow. The thing about nature is you can interpret it in an endless number of ways. I found myself to be calm, I smelled the scent of fresh grass and listened to the water flow through the stream. Depending on a thing like your mood, point of view, energy, and skill set. As for someone like me, I found that changing my distance from different views or objects opened up so many more ways of perceiving a certain thing. The change from our studio classroom to a beautiful open park was almost like shellshock, but the good kind. It pushed me to create my best work given the fact that I was gifted with such an experience. When a person spends so much time in space doing the exact same thing they may enter some sort of psychosis. The drastic difference in environment inspired me. This assignment completely changed my perspective on sketching and drawing, as I was not so fond of it before. I understand now that a sketch can genuinely be a sketch and not a perfected pencil drawing. It can be a vision of all emotions, no matter how they may look on paper. Exercises like this are extremely beneficial to help the brain flow.

It helped me overcome my perfectionism and see sketching as a way to capture emotions and interpretations rather than striving for perfection in every detail.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - This project taught me how to manage not only time and material, but also ideas and decision making. Throughout this project, I learned how to properly execute detailed and consistent model building with high craftsmenship. In addition to the craftsmanship and skills that this project taught me, I now have a much better understanding of lighting conditions and the way that they affect a space.

Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - Hand Drawing was a seven series project including everything from blind drawing, to examining the sights outside of your window. These subsects of this project taught me all about my drawing style, and the way that I can shade, outline, and depict different real-world objects. Specifically, in the color section of this project, we were able to explore how color affects the world around us, and what we can do as designers to bend the boundaries.

Project #3 “Power of Patience” - In this Project, I learned the valuable lesson of attention and patience. After watching and interacting with the same piece of artwork for three hours straight, there were many things that I learned. Generally, I learned that there are so many different reasons for an artist or designer to add something into their piece. Moving forward this observation will be helpful to be able to decifer design styles and see what they are trying to do to a space.

Project #4 “Space Cube” - Within this Space Cube project, there were many different phases and models that were made to get the idea across to the viewers. This project specifically taught us how to iterate with the same idea. Moving from orginal photography, to sequence modeling, to prototyping modeling, and then finally finishing our final model allowed for us as designers to learn how to come againt adversity. All in all, this project allowed me to learn a higher level of crafstmenship and also taught me the skills I needed to be able to design a space based off of an emotion or idea.

Project #5 “First Portfolio” - In this piece of the studio course allowed us to explore the ideas and images that can be created through artificial intelligence. Through this study, we were able to see what AI can do in the design world, as well as learning how as designers we can utilize this tool to create amazing designs.

Overall - Overall, this course taught me some amazing lessons about design education and the true hands-on approach that is needed. From the first day of studio, this course requires you to dive into your work and immediately find your personal design style. Weaving through projects day in day out aided in taking in so much information about every facet of how to start a design journey. After moving through all of these projects and having to reflect on the course, this cours taught me how to manage time, generate ideas, and materialize those ideas into something tangible.

If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

- If I could talk to me before embarking on this journey, I would tell myself that you need to trust the process. Most days will seem that the work is impossible, but truly at the end of the day when all of your work is layed out in front of you, there is not a better feeling.

Work #3. My Window View

When looking out of my window, all I remember feeling is calm, cool, and collected. Looking through the window, you can see a large tree covering most of the right side, as well as the roof of the dorm in front of me. When it comes to smells and sounds, there are always birds chirping and the scent of my air conditioning unit.

While drawing the view from my window, I noticed that there were many things that I could see from my window that I had not noticed before. Specifically, when it comes to the overwhelming view that I have of the great oak tree in front of my window, this was something that I was not initially aware of. After continuing throughout this drawing, I noticed that even though the roof of the building obstructs most of the view, I had a clear view of the building in front of me.

After having drawn this view from my window, I now notice and see the bricks of the building in front of me, as well as the trash cans and smaller details like the grasses and sidewalks. As it pertains to sounds and smells, I hear many birds and the pattering of people walking through the walkways along with the smells of the air condensing unit and Febreze. The feelings that exude from this painting are calming and serene.

Work #6. Value in 2-point Perspective

After drawing this frame of my final space cube model in the two-point perspective design style, there were many things that I picked up from this still. Moving from one point to two-point perspective drawings completely changes how the drawing feels to a viewer. In the single point, the viewer is drawn into the middle of the drawing along with the inner details of the interior. On the other hand, in the two-point perspective drawing, the viewer’s eyes are drawn firstly into the center of the drawing with the details, and then outward to the stretched edges of the perspective view.

Work #7. Outdoor Sketch

Before this exercise, when stepping onto the site, there was nothing that truly caught my eye. I hoped for more of a dynamic atmosphere rather than the simplicity that the Watershed provided. In this initial observation of the Illinois River Watershed Preservation, there was the beautiful sound of birds chirping and the trees swaying in the elegant wind. When it comes to sights, looking around the open space, there was a gorgeous body of water surrounded by trees and smaller little structures. In another direction, the smells throughout this area were ever changing, from the scent of natural greenery to the scent of bat guano, there was a myriad of scents.

After sitting and interacting with the site itself, I was pleasantly surprised by the dynamic and intricate pieces that the site brought to my drawings. Even though I was focused on finishing the drawings that we needed for class, it was interesting to see all the intertwining systems that come together within this ecosystem. When it comes to feelings toward this space, I was receiving feelings of serenity and maturity while trying to interpret the vast system that we were immersed in. Sounds that are exuded from this site were changing throughout each path and each place that I decided to sit and observe. From the birds chirping and trees moving, to the stream flowing and the waterfall falling, the sounds aid the site in its maturity and beauty.

All in all, this site taught me how to be able to read and interpret a site while also trying to take all of it in and transform it into an expressive beautiful piece of artwork.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - The most important thing I learned in this section was the use of clean and exact lines along with intentional lighting. The entirety of this section it became clear that for your pictures to come out the way you want them to it is crucial that you make clean-cut lines. Using the clean-cut foam board made it easier to make. pretty pictures. It was also important to learn the aspect of lighting. As time went on, I realized the importance of using different ways of lighting, which made my work have more contrast and appear better.

Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - The most important tool this part of our semester has taught me is precision. In all of our drawings, it became important that with most of them, you needed to have precise measurements. Without the precise measurements, the drawings would not come out as intended, making your drawing look unrealistic. for most of the drawings implementing a ruler in your work was very important to make sure your drawings were exact.

Project #3 “Power of Patience” - The most important learning device this section taught me is truly the art of patience. Patience is something that has been spoken about a lot and design school but is very hard to teach. The power of patience and something that is overlooked in most education. We were taught to be patient with our work, and we learned the positive outcomes of patience. This use of patience will be a long-term beneficial lesson that we will use.

Project #4 “Space Cube” - The most important part of this particular section was the importance of well-crafted models. Throughout the entirety of the space cube, it becomes clear that my personal work became a lot better the further into the space cube section I got. In the beginning, it was hard to understand what a clean model versus a well crafted model looked like. After getting to see the difference between a well crafted model and a sloppy model. It was evident that a well-crafted model made a huge difference. The cleaning and cutting of foam board and other materials make a model look like a child arts and crafts experiment versus a professional model.

Project #5 “First Portfolio” - The first portfolio has taught me to be careful about where I save my work and to be proud of myself. One of the struggles of the first portfolio was trying to find all work. File management is talked about a lot in design, thinking that is not necessarily taught. I wish we would have learned a little bit more about where to store our files for easy access to finish with that being said taught me intentional about where I’m saving my work. The first portfolio is also made me realize that I have lots of work to be proud of and look at.

Overall - This course has taught me the importance of time management and the basic tools I need to succeed in the interior architecture program. As everyone knows, the summer program is extremely fast-paced. This fast-paced course has really implemented good habits of time management and my work. Because everything is due so quickly, it forced me to stay focused and get things done, which is something I will be grateful for in the long run. this course is also given us all the basics for what we will need in future architecture classes.

If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

- If I could speak to myself before these five weeks, I would tell myself not to stress. Everyone makes it seem like the summer is borderline impossible to do but with good work ethic and time management, it is very possible. I believe that causing extra stress for myself was unnecessary to begin with. It helped me create good habits, but, most of the stress I had placed myself was unhealthy and unnecessary. Also, I would tell myself I’m about to have a lot of fun.

y Window iew is...

When I rst enter my room I feel at peace but I do not notice my window. ecasue my window is tiny it unfortunately makes it hard for sunlight to get in. I am also on the rst floor so I must keep my window closed at times when I am home.

I face the pool so I am able to see who is outside my room. I feel slightly protected by the way my window stays covered so people can’t see through into my room. y room smells of vanilla because I have to burn candles because opening my window for fresh air is not an option.

What I noticed the following after I drew my window view...

I noticed that when I open my window my view of the pool is basically blocked by the shrubs and large metal structures that are at the pool. The only people that could possibly see in my room were the people walking around on the sidewalk.

I tried to open my window to get air when I decided to take a picture to draw it and the window was jammed shut so the only thing I could smell was what was inside my room.

y Window iew is...

After drawing my room it makes me want to spend more time with my window open to get more natural light in. I notice I feel much more at peace knowing that just because I am on the rst floor, people cannot see into my room. I feel a sense of privacy knowing this.

Work #5. Shaving Cream Marbling

I wanted to use bright colors in a linear path then scrape to pull the paint one way.

68 270

I wanted to use the darkest colors I had and focus the paint in the middle then squish it out to create this effect.

69 271

I wanted to use the darkest values in highly saturated blobs of paint to create dark colors on the page.

70 272

I wanted to mix in lighter colors with the shaving cream to create a blended light pattern.

71 273

I wanted to take the darkest values and sirl them into the shaving cream to give a swirled pattern.

72 274

I wanted to take leftover of the darkest values to get a less saturated version of the dark colors.

73 275

I wantd to take the middle tones and barely mix them in horizontal ways to give a slightly blended and highly saturated page.

74 276

I wanted to thuroughly mix the darkest vales of the shaving cream to create mixed colors.

75 277

I wanted to take the lightest colors and mix them into the shaving cream for a well blended primarily blue page.

76 278

I wanted to take the less saturated middle colors and add a more saturated blue to mix up the values.

77 279

78 280

I took the darkest colors which I believed were the most uncomfortable colors to achieve a very odd and uncomfortable colored structure. The black and dark red have an extremely off contrast to the muted blue making this unpleasent to look at.

79 281

Work #6. Value in 2-point Perspective

What you noticed that you were not aware of previously after drawing the 2 point perspective...

After completeing my 2 point perspective drawing I realized the space cube did not feel as balanced as I had originally thought. I knew that the space cube was overall symmetrical but The lack of floor on the upper right side makes the space cube slightly off balance. This effect can add to the overall discomfort of the space cube. I also realized that the lack of roof on the top makes the space cube unsymmetrical in the vertical aspect as well as the horizontal aspect. Something that appears to be symmetrical but is slightly off can give an illusion of a mistake and cause confusion or discomfort.

Work #7. Outdoor Sketch

Writing what you feel (see, smell, hear, etc.) before, during, and following your drawing completion...

Before starting my outdoor sketches I could see the place around me but I did not attempt to connect with it at all. I was aware that there was a breeze and birds chirping but I had no idea what kind of life and movement was really around me.

During my aketching process I tried to think of things I could see, hear, and smell. I could see the plants and animals around me , and the movement that was all around. I could hear the waterfall and the wind making the leaves rustle along with the birds chirping. I could smell the air coming off the lake water and the fresh plants all around me. As I drew I did my best to implament these aspects.

After drawing I came to the realization that there is more to my surroundings than what meets the eye. I had realized that there is so much more going on than I had originally thought. It was interesting to see and hear new things when I was actually trying to pay attention to them.

y Window iew is... y looking at this view of my backyard, I can already hear the sound of the waterfall rush as it hits the still rest of the pool, as well as the smell of the chlorine chemicals circulating in the air because of the waterfalls. n a warm summer evening such as this one, I can also smell the citronella candles burning that my family and I light when we enjoy a beautiful night such as this one outside. I can feel the cool and rela ing temperature of the pool since it is colder than the -degree air. I can see the sunset soon to come and the moon rising. The purple pool light is about to turn on and illuminate the backyard.

What I noticed the following after I drew my window view...

I noticed the immense detail in the concrete surrounding the pool. As well as the number of plants in my backyard, I know it was lush and green especially in the summertime but I never uite realized the true amount of greenery until it came time to put pen to paper. The last thing I noticed was a pretty good amount of symmetry and balance.

y Window iew is...

After drawing this view, by looking at my sketch, I can hear the trickling of the waterfalls as well as the sound of the leaves when the wind blows. I can feel the warmth on my skin of a warm summer evening in orth Te as as well as the sweat dripping down the back of my neck. The goosebumps that appear when a gust of wind goes by and the beautiful sight of a Te as sunset. I can imagine the sound of country music playing that plays nonstop in my backyard. astly, I can smell a toasted marshmallow from the repit because my family and I often make smores.

Work #5. Shaving Cream Marbling

I wanted to display all of the colors whilst using less of the darker more intense colors because they are overpowering.

68 298

My intention with the second one was to use thicker and chunkier amounts of color, as well as leaving thicker amounts of white space.

69 299

I added more color than I used in the previous marbling one and swirled the colors leaving little to no white in the background.

70 300

For this marbling, my main intent was to emphasize the deeper colors, dark purple and brown.

71 301

My intention with this sheet was to emphasize the deeper colors, dark purple and brown.

72 302

After having a couple sheets emphasizing all dark colors, I wanted to focus a bit more on the brown in this one.

73 303

Again, I heavily emphasized the dark brown but only in the top right corner, then i had it fade out to the same opacity as the rest of the colors throughout.

74 304

I went back in with more brown and made it the heaviest color that showed although they are all present.

75 305

I emphasized the darker purple and dark brown on the top and the bottom but left the piece a bit calmer throughout the center of the sheet.

76 306

For this sheet, I wanted to focus on the brown while blending it into the light purple by swirling the colors together.

77 307

78 308

For my marbled plaster model, I wanted to emphasize the bright pops of purple with a hint of brown. I did not include the beige color in my paint swirling becasue the original color of the plaster model was beige, and I knew it would still show in the spaces where there was no paint. I painted the tops of the buildings the dark purple color to show the difference in elevation and where walls and stairs were meant to be.

Work #6. Value in 2-point Perspective

What you noticed that you were not aware of previously after drawing the 2 point perspective...

A new observation I gathered when drawing my space cube from two point perspective was the way the showdows move as it is turned in different directions. For the two point perspective drawing, the way I positioned my cube when preparing to draw it, the light was hitting from top left, causing the shadows to fall to the right underneath objects.

Work #7. Outdoor Sketch

Writing what you feel (see, smell, hear, etc.) before, during, and following your drawing completion...

This site was very calming upon arrival. From the moment I walked up on the site right near the parking lot, I felt a sense of relief. The area was immediately breathtakingly beautiful and did not fail to distract from the busy road steps away. As I explored the site deeper in depth, I only grew fonder of it. The entire place was so stunning. From wildlife, to waterfalls, to blooming flowers, trees in their peak beauty this time of year, and the still water. My favorite part about the entire park was the breeze of cool air I felt on my ankles as I walked near the water because the natural low temperature it maintains year round. It is able to maintain a cooler temperature even in the 95 degree water because it sources from underground caves. Taking a trip to this park to do site drawings really was such an enjoyable treat. I have always loved nature and appreciated the beauty in it, and in the fact that all organisms coexists together and help provide life for one another on this sanctuary that Earth provides. While plants absorb Carbon Dioxide and release Oxygen, humans absorb the Oxygen and release the Carbon Dioxide, the perfect balance in nature, providing just the thing for one another to live, which to me is so incredible. Also being able to hear facts from Annie about the park and learn that everything in the park truly is in fact natural, which in today’s day in age can be very shocking. More than some “natural” scenic areas or parks are completely manmade so it provided a sense of peace to learn. Spending time in the park not only outdoors but in such beauty was the perfect change of scenery from the studio and provided the feeling of a break, while still completing an assignment. I plan to visit the Illinois River Watershed again on my own time very soon. This was such a great experience!

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - Throught the first project, I learned the basics. This included properly cutting foam board, arranging scenes, implementing lighting, photographing small scaled models, and creating unique scenes of my own. Learning the very basic skills meanwhile using my own creativity was a new and fun start to this program.

Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - Hand drawing througout the semester improved my eye to pencil coordination. I was able to observe an object or space and grew my ability to recognize how the space can be portayed on a sheet of paper. Learning to draw more expressively and freely allowed my to expand my creativity within the drawing in the semester. Implementing not only observation but emotion and senses in to my drawings made me a more observant artist. Learning the way color, value and saturation affect spaces grew my awarness to the elements around me.

Project #3 “Power of Patience” - Growing my ability to look at a painting and learn that within time there is always more you can learn the more you observe throught time. The more I looked at the painting over a large span of time, the more I began noticing details I woudnt have noticed prior to this project.

Project #4 “Space Cube” - This project grew my creativity as well as learning how a space functions. Using an emotion to be the center of my work taught me how to be more in tune with my creativity within bounds. This project improved my craftmansip when creating models and floorplans. Creating cement and plaster models allowed me to learn a completely new skill of utilizing many different materials.

Project #5 “First Portfolio” - Creating my first porfolio taught me how much I can do and learn in such a small period of time as well as learning how to compile all of my work. Learning to utilize AI within my creations opened my eyes to how much I can do with as simple as a hand drawing of a window.

Overall - Overall, I learned so much within 5 weeks and what I beleive to be my biggest accomplishment within my learning journey is how much I am capable of doing and learning. I am beyond excited to continue learning.

If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

- If I could talk to myself prior to these five weeks, I would like to share how fast time flies when I am enjoying the work I am doing. Despite the lack of sleep and high stress, the validation received from completing so much interesting work is worth it all.

Work #3. My Window View

My Window View is collection of buildings and a pool. I see a long checkered brown driveway up a hill. I see a big fence that encloses the pool. I see a grill underneath the patio behind the pool. I see people walking and moving around the complex living separately yet collectively. I hear people chattering and the lawn guys occasionally using a leaf blower and mower. I smell chlorine and sunscreen; I smell freshly mowed grass and newly laid mulch. I touch a cold refreshing pool and the scorching hot concrete.

What I noticed the following after I drew my window view was how much I truly experienced just from looking out my window. I didn’t realize how much I watch others’ lives through my window day by day and experience every season through the same view.

My Window View is seasons changing and the pool filling up with snow, leaves and pollen. I smell rain and heat as my window carries me through each phase of the year. I feel as if my eyes have been opened through this exercise, being able to see and feel deeply just simply what I experience through my window.

My goal for marbling below was to create as many irregular swirls as possible and create a more muted and beiger look with my color combination. Spiraling my paint in sporadic ways created the exact look I was intending to portray.

Work #6. Value in 2-point Perspective

What I observed that I was not aware of before the point perspective, was how geometric my cube was and how easily that transferred in to two point perspective. However, with never doing two-point perspective before, It took me many tries to truly e emplify the perspective within my drawing. I didn’t initially e pect it to literally mean you base your drawing off of two points. After doing my drawing, I gured out how to incorporate value even though I was initially confused on how to incorporate that.

Work #7. Outdoor Sketch

When I first arrived at the watershed, I smelt fresh grass and breeze that was running through the trees. I saw a large body of water that reflected the sky perfectly due to it being a sunny day. I heard leaves rustling and cars passing by on the street near the site. After taking a seat to observe and draw, I felt the gras brushing on my legs. I saw geese swimming in the lake and al-gae slowly moving along the top with them. I saw a man fishing across the lake alone with his truck parked on a beaten path. I heard faint bird chirps and other folk fishing who were having a conversation. After drawing my observations, I noticed which way the water was flowing due to the light wind. I saw the geese and algae slowly floating in the same direction. I saw flowers I hadn’t noticed the entire observation and a small white house hiding behind trees in the dis-tance. I heard complete silence with the occasional whisper of the breeze. I felt the stickers on the grass and the small weeded flowers that were scattered everywhere.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - The “Wall, Column, and Space” project was the first project I have ever done in relation to architecture. This was, in my opinion, a very critical step to beginning the semester. By exploring how the smallest of changes can result in an entirely different feeling, I was more able to understand how important my design decisions are. By taking all of these photos and doing all 59 categories, I learned the importance of iteration. Since I was repeating these steps so many times, when it came time to develop my sequence model, I was more than ready to portray the emotion I needed to.

Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - “Hand Drawing” is something that I would like to consider myself very familiar with. Through all stages of my life, I have always been an artist or creative. However, this class taught me a new type of hand drawing. To me, the most beneficial hand drawings we did were the blind contour drawings. ALthough they are not inherently “good,” the act of just drawing what is right in front of you acurately, without looking, is crucial to being able to draw floor plans, buildings, interiors, and landscapes. We also had a lot of practice with hand drawing floor plans. There was a slight learning curve for me, but in the end I think, so far, I have a good idea of how to make my floor plans and elevations in the future.

Project #3 “Power of Patience” - The “Power of Patience” project was the project that tested my patience the most. We were tasked with sitting in front of an artwork for three hours. While my given artwork was interesting, it got increasingly harder to look at. I found myself making up new stories about the work that probably were not plausible. Although this task was grueling, I was able to be patient. I am glad I had the opportunity to do something like this. I feel like there are few times when a person is able to be still for this amount of time uninterupted. I can see myself repeating this activity again in the future if I start off with smaller time intervals and increase them as I get more comfortable.

Project #4 “Space Cube” - The “Space Cube” project was another practice of iteration. Through this, I learned just how quickly my ideas can change. From my sequence model, to my first space cube, to my final. All of them are unique with their own qualities and special characteristics. I also think transforming my work into a cement and plaster model was a very cool experience. It is so rewarding to see my work come into fruition.

I look forward to continuing to develop my space cube into something greater in the coming semester.

Project #5 “First Portfolio” - Curating this portfolio was a very tedious process, however it was extremely satisfying. Being able to see where I started and where I ended and all of the progress I made made this all worthwhile. Creating this portfolio required a lot of reminiscing on these past five weeks. This portfolio is a gift to myself and my future self to remind myself where it all began.

Overall - Overall, my first semester of design school would not have been possible without the friends I made along the way. Through my latest nights, they were always right there beside me. We shared in our struggles, successes, tears, and laughter. Without the support of my friends, family, and instructors, this would have not been as doable as it was. During these five weeks, I have made friends I could have never dreamt of making. They are the reason I am completing this portfolio right now.

If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

- I would like to share that not only will this be extremely challenging, at the end of your first five weeks, you will be sad that it is over.

There will never be a time like this again. Yes, you will continue pursuing architecture and having studio classes, but you will never (hopefully) be in summer studio again. I am proud of you and I always knew that you could do it.

Work #3. My Window View

My Window View is...

In the morning, when I draw back my curtains, my sights are met with a very relaxing view. I can usually hear the sounds of construction or yardwork. My nose is filled with the scent of fresh cut grass and warm coffee as sunlight fills my eyes.

What I noticed the following after I drew my window view...

Nefore drawing my window view several times, I did not recognize the texture of the wood paneling on the purch. Each individual plank is unique with its own grain pattern. I also did not notice the sparation and buckling between the boards.

My Window View is...

WHen I look at my final drawing it is hard not to have the same feelings as when I look out of the actual window. The view is simply pleasant to see. My drawing makes me want to just step into my room and see the actual view.

Work #5. Shaving Cream Marbling

When planning to create all 20 paintings, I decided that I would make 2 sets of 7 for my first two compositions and 1 set of 6 for my final color composition. This way I could fully focus on each color composition. For each set of works and for each individual painting, I had different ideas and intentions to create as many unique works as possible.

68 354

For my very first piece, I simply put all the colors randomly around the shaving cream. I firmly pressed the paper into the foam. It turned out extremely chaotic because there was so much color and so much foam.

69 355

For the next one, I just put it back in the same shaving cream without changing anything because I knew that just the act of putting it in there would make something different. It turned out to be a little less chaotic and more negative space.

70 356

For my third artwork, I used my paintbrush to move the color around a little bit to see if I could create something more controlled. It worked a little better, but then I found myself running out of shaving cream, so I had to add more colors for the next one.

71 357

My fourth painting was made with more colors and more shaving cream. I moved the paint around just a little bit. Doing this made the colors much more vibrant and I started to like the way that the chaos of it looked.

72 358

The fifth painting was just color poured randomly onto the shaving cream. It made more defined shapes and less streaks. I liked the way this looked.

73 359

For my sixth painting, I put a new piece of paper onto the same paint as before, but when I lifted it up, there was more color hiding underneath the foam, which made my painting look interesting. It was a cool surprise.

74 360

For my final work in this color composition, I combined all my techniques into one. I moved the globs of paint around a little bit and left some of the thick globs from before. This created my favorite piece from the entire composition.

75 361

For my second color composition, I wanted to manipulate the paint and shaving cream as little as possible. So, for my first painting I just threw some paint onto the shaving cream and hoped for the best. It created what looks like a splatter painting. For the rest of the series, I just continued to put each piece of paper on top of the shaving cream, and it was different every time. I saved my scraps from scraping each painting and put them onto the sides of my tray. This added a border to a couple of the paintings. I did not like this color composition as much as the first one.

76 362

Your Intention writing For my final color composition, I wanted to combine all the methods I tried previously together. So, for my first painting of this series, I put all the paint that I had onto the shaving cream. I then put my first piece of paper in. However, this time, I did not keep any of the excess shaving cream. For my next painting, I used my paintbrush to move the colors around the foam and then put my next piece of paper in. I repeated this process for every work in this series, only moving the paint around a little bit between the paintings. I liked the colors from this composition the most.

77 363

78 364

When I was painting this model, I felt myself drawn to highlight all of the texture on it. Some might see the unevenness of it as imperfection, but I see it as making it that much more interesting. I began by painting the deepest parts of it red, then purple, then yellow. I then used a very dark purple to highlight the edges of where they would be if the model was made perfectly. I think in the end, in photos at least, the way it is painted makes it look much flatter and smoother than it actually is.

79 365

Work #6. Value in 2-point Perspective

What you noticed that you were not aware of previously after drawing the 2 point perspective...

After drawing my casting model from a two-point perspective, I was able to notice how much texture the model actually has. Before, I do not think I noticed it because I was looking at it as a whole, whereas after drawing it, I was able to more clearly see the rough edges and bubbles made by the foam board. However, in order to keep my drawing’s focus on value, I opted to leave the majority of the texture out.

Work #7. Outdoor Sketch

Writing what you feel (see, smell, hear, etc.) before, during, and following your drawing completion...

Before arriving at the Illinois River Watershed, I was really looking forward to being able to draw landscapes the way I am used to doing. Although the conditions we were sat in were less than favorable, I was still excited. To me, I find drawing a very relaxing activity that I have been doing for many years. However, I was displeased to discover that what I wanted to draw was not the point of this assignment. I had a very hard time trying to draw what I felt. I love realism, and I find it to be one of my strong suits when it comes to drawing, however, my instructor requested more abstract versions of what I was doing. I am all for abstractions, but I am only used to doing those in paintings. Trying to do this with charcoal proved extremely challenging for me.

When I do abstractions, I have a process that I always use. It takes time and preparation for me to complete even just one abstract piece, however creating 20 works for this assignment made it that much harder. This was an arduous task for me, but it made me a more diverse artist. Being able to quickly overcome challenges is something I believe is a skill I will need for the rest of my life. This activity activity was more practice in that.

Not only was this practice in overcoming challenges, but it was also a practice in patience. It was hot, humid, and exhausting. There were bugs crawling all over me, spiders trying to bite me, and wasps trying to sting me. However, I still found a way to be patient and complete the task at hand. Through it all, I was still present and enjoyed my time outside in nature and even began to welcome the bugs, spiders, and wasps.

Overall, at the end of the activity I was hot and readty to go home, but I still loved being able to draw and diversifying my talents.

Work #3. My Window View

My Window View is...

What I first see out my window is a large parking lot below my window. Two trees frame my window covering part of the parking lot from view. Across the parking lot is the is the store fronts on Garland and the parking garage above the sstores. Behind the parking garage are a large amount of trees. I smell my le�over wingstop from earlier that day and I also smell my cologne. In the distance I can hear the sound of a emergency service siren wiling past to go to the accident. I can also hear a cat meowing down the hall.

What I no�ced the following a�er I drew my window view...

I did not no�ce the parts of the parking lot that have yellow stripes marking off the parts of the parking lot you’re not supposed to park in. I also became more aware that someone also has a dog on my floor that barks occasionally. I hear the slamming of dorm doors and the sound of the custodians cleaning cart rolling down the hallway. There is also black lines on the parking lot where people have done donuts and burn outs.

WIth the colored cas�ng model I chose my dark maroon/purple colors to emphasize the darkness and create more of a sense of fear. I chose to do my darkest purple for the walls and floor to create a sense of darkness and a lighter purple for the pillars to make the pillars stand out. The second scne is a lighter shade of purple for the walls and floor however are s�ll on the darker side. To create a sense of depth the circular forma�on in the center is a lighter purple to emphasize the direc�on in which you are supposed to walk through while s�ll having a dark atmoshphere I wanted the colors to be rich and emphasize fear.

Work #6. Value in 2-point Perspec�ve

What you no�ced that you were not aware of previously a�er drawing the 2 point perspec�ve...

What I no�ced a�er drawing the two point perspec�ve is that having several different levels and those levels being behind each other is certainly a challenge to draw at least for me. I had to pay a lot of a�en�onto placement and while I dont feel I did perfect with the drawing I do feel it is an improvment from the Isometric Drawing.

Work #7. Outdoor Sketch

Wri�ng what you feel (see, smell, hear, etc.) before, during, and following your drawing comple�on...

As we walked to the park area, I no�ced how clean and well taken care of the park is. I walked up to the water and looked down surprised to see the bo�om of the plants growing beneath the surface. I could see fish clear as day of all different sizes swimming just underneath the surface of the water and through the plants underneath the surface. To say I was surprised to be able to see all of this was an understatement because now we are so used to murky water where you can see nothing having such a clean body of water is sadly unusual. It was a very hot day, however si�ng next to the water did feel slightly cooler. The sun glistened off the water’s surface making a beau�ful scene. Algae grew in groups however it did not cover most of the water. I saw not one piece of trash which shows how well the employees manage the park.

In the distance a flock of geese floated on the surface of the water it looked like a scene out of a pain�ng. Trees towered overhead crea�ng nice shade in spots which were nice to sit underneath. Beside the water’s edge sat a pavilion with several picknick tables. In the back corner of the pavilion were stones that formed a wall with beau�ful wildflowers planted in front of them. They were beau�ful yellows. Purples, and pinks along with some other filler plants. As I walked around, I found a nice, tall tree to sit under that provided a nice amount of shade. I was drawn to this tree because there were wild plants growing at the edge of the tree and smalls vines creeping up from the bo�om of the tree. Si�ng facing the tree made me realize how much truly goes on that we don’t always no�ce. The grass bending in different ways, the wild foliage that grows so many beau�ful things, next to me a small spider web s�ll covered in morning dew. As I sat there drawing the vines and foliage around the tree, I no�ced that small ants would climb onto my sketchpad and even onto me. Towards the back of the park was a smaller part of the creek that had small damns built into it. There was also a water wheel on the other side of this creek. It was a nice change of pace to be out in nature even though it was quite hot.

Work #3. My Window View

My Window View is...

My window veiw is of a corner of the parkin garage and some landscaping near. There is nature off in the distance. The landscaping upclose and groomed well and is placed in a nice manner. The parking garage is lit with some light and always active. The landscaping adds some color to my window veiw because other than that the concrete garage and sidewalk dont add much color.

What I noticed the following after I drew my window view...

After I had finished my drawing I noticed a lot more. There was more in the distance then I thought. There were buldings and way more nature. To the side of the garage I noticed there were steps leading up to the garage that I hadnt noticed before. It was very intresting when I noticed things I hadn’t seen before while drawing with veiw.

My Window View is...

May be very boring at first glance, but when you really start to look and notice small things it becomes peaceful. There isnt much doing on and never a lot moving so it has a sense of peascfulness to it. I wasnt a fan of my window veiw before, but now I dont mind it afterall.

Work #5. Shaving Cream Marbling

Your Intention writing My intention with this fold up and AI was to use less saturated arbling and to create a mirror effect with the Ai workshop.

410

68

Your Intention writing My intention with this fold up was to use a saturated marbling with all 4 colors. I wanted the Ai workshop to appear as the exterior of a house that is lit up inside.

411

Your Intention writing My intention with this pop up was to use very light and unsaturated marbling. I wanted there to be a lot of white with a little bit of color. For the Ai workshop I wanted this to be an exterior of a house. I still wanted to keep the marble theme but they Ai wasnt picking up the light colors.

412

70

Your Intention writing My intention with this pop up was to really make the windows very visable. With the Ai workshop I wanted to make the windows visable and also wanted them to shine lit from within so I decided to use my marble color for the light colors.

413

71

Your Intention writing With this marbling I wanted to keep it really light to represent the mst unsatruated color I made. I wanted to keep it simple for the marbling, but then wanted to make it more complex with the pop-up.

414

72

Your Intention writing This marbling was one of my favorites. I wanted to mix yellow and oragne to really give off a vibrant look. I wanted to have the pop-up seem complex but easy for the eyes to follow.

415

73

Your Intention writing With this marbline I wanted to keep it very light. All the red marblings get dark pretty fast and I thought it would be nice to have a light color red marble. The pop-up choice was very random.

416

74

Your Intention writing With this marbling I really wanted to use all 4 colors and make it pretty saturated. I really liked the pop-ups when there were a bunch of windows so that is what I intended for this pop-up.

75 417

Your Intention writing My intention with this marbling was to also make this one very vibrant with oragen and yellow paint. I picked this pop up design because I liked the curved stairs.

76 418

Your Intention writing I really liked this marbling. I loved making lighter colors so I combined all 4 colors together but made sure to keeo it very light. With the pop up I wanted to use walls and stairs.

77 419

78 420

Your Intention writing My intention for this colored model was to really mesh my colors together. I wanted it to still look marble in order to match my shaving cream marbling. I tried use the bubble paint method but I tried multiple methds and it wasnt working out for me. I used diffrent resources and ended with a marbling effect that I am very happy with.

79 421

Work #6. Value in 2-point Perspective

What you noticed that you were not aware of previously after drawing the point perspective...

When drawing my point perspective of my space cube, at rst I thought I knew they were a space cube from every angle. ut when it came to drawing I was having to look at everything and I noticed some things I hadn’t before.

I was noticing the feelings of some floors because before I was just always focusing on the floors and walls. I had a hard time drawing this space cube and really making it look good. I think I got it to a good point for the pin up, but I really liked the ways my peers shaded some parts of their space cubes, so I will be going back and adding some more dimension to my drawing.

I also noticed how different the point perspective drawing looks then the one point perspective. Whereas from the one point perspective you are seeing one side to everything and with the point perspective it is almost like all the shapes are d since you can see multiple sides. ven though the point perspective was hard I do think it looks better and gives off a better message to the viewers.

Work #7. Outdoor Sketch

Writing what you feel (see, smell, hear, etc.) before, during, and following your drawing completion...

When arriving at this lake I was very excited to start drawing and exploring this area. It was very hot today, but still very pretty. When we first arrived I smelt grass and an outdoors type smell. I saw a river and off to the distance saw a cabin and some more things such as benches.

Then we started drawing. I quickly realized that these drawings needed to be more simple than complex in order to finish 20 sketches. While drawing I was realizing way more natural scenes than before. I was reeling in small details such as different leaves, flowers, insects, rocks and more. I liked drawing larger scenes then smaller because I felt as if I was getting more from the scene then just focusing on one object. I was trying to pick a lot of different scenes in order for all my sketches, but I realized they all kind of looked the same. I wish I would have drawn more of the trail then I did because I think it would have spiced up my sketches more.

After the QandA I was very surprised with how much work it really takes to keep up a park. I never realized how much it takes to keep nature groomed. I loved hearing the specifics of the park and how the cave works. After leaving I really realized how important nature means. It makes everyone so much happier and it feels so nice to just listen to nature. I loved sketching outside because it really helped me engage my senses and draw better than I would from just looking at a picture. I loved working outside and learning so much about this park that keeps the city alive!

Work #3. My Window View

My Window View is of a parking lot with a strong tree line demarcating the back edge of the area, though overgrowth of ivy has obscured the form of the trees and plants laden within. I live on the first floor, so my view is essentially the same as one would get just by walking outside. Closest to me was the sidewalk that lines my apartment building, with the first row of parking spaces just beyond it. On the left side, there is a small island with a modestly sized tree, a firehydrant, and some newly planted shrubbery which has yet to grow into anything significant, and on the right side an SUV is barely visible. Something I never noticed before was the small building beyond the tree line, as I had never really looked out my window much nor have I stared into the distance while walking to and from my car, though granted I have only lived here for a week now (today marks a full week!). As I made this, I felt very inquisitve about this new space around me, as I had not had the time up until this point to slowdown and appreciate the landscape I now lived in, especially since my initial impression of my apartment complex was that there was hardly any greenspace, a stark contrast to the heavily wooded area I grew up in, but now I realize that there is still something for me to look at when I wish to reflect.

For the shaving cream marbling sets, I reflected on my choice of colour pallet and tried to determine what the best combinations thereof would be. I decided to start with the various shades of blue I had, then as the sequence progresses I added grey, green, turquoise, and hints of yellow. My intention with these colours was to have a rich pigment pop out at you, with darker undertones to reflect the theme of fear that I have been incorporating in my projects thus far, as while the overtones are not fearful in of themselves, I feel that having something be off with them would give a sort of uncanny effect. One mistake I made was adding the yellow very lightly and as the last colour in the sequence, so it only stained the top layer of shaving cream which scraped off most of them when I smoothed out the papers, however traces remain and I feel that still accomplished my intention with the colour, as I wanted it to take a back seat. Also now that I am looking at all of my papers again, I realize that it kind of looks like toothpaste, so I suppose if one has a fear of the dentist, then my work would be scary to them, or at least invoke traumatic memories.

76 446

Reminisce

The original painting I was assigned was called ”Au Café (Synchromy),” which shows figures painted in abstraction, with one, well-defined man sort of taking center stage while a much more abstract woman seemingly floats above him and sharply contrasts with the much duller and angular form of the man. At first glance, you would think this is a scene in which both figures are a part of, but when you zoom out and start comparing their forms and also consider the personal context that this was made in (Macdonald was roughly two years into his time living abroad in France), a very different scene culminates before you, one that is much sadder and more profound than first impressions would give. It felt very nostalgic, like the man was thinking about someone he cared about and enjoyed spending time with him, and the inclusion of implied music by use of synchromy, the artist appears to capture a moment of himself in the café where a song plays in the background, taking him back to fond memories while also having an aspect of melancholy that it is no longer his reality. My intention then was to find a painting which invoked a similar feeling of nostalgia and longing, and eventually I settled on an untitled work by Rhea Gary, which captures a gorgeous, colourful sunset caressing the wetlands before you. I chose this because the bright colours reminded me of how everything just seems so much brighter when you’re a child, and I found myself immediately reminiscing of simpler times where this scene might have been real to me, but alas now that saturation and warmness can only be captured by media. The watery scene amplifies that feeling for me, as I used to live in Florida by the beach during my childhood, so I am just naturally drawn to water no matter the circumstances, especially since it is no longer in the abundance that I once was fond of. Overall, I really enjoyed this exercise as it made a fun afternoon of examining numerous different landscape paintings trying to find the perfect match, and I feel like doing so allowed me to properly appreciate the various artist’s techniques and gave me a bit of inspiration I hope to draw from moving forward.

Work #7. Outdoor Sketch

I had been looking forward to this assignment for a while now, as up until this point, we never worked with landscapes or anything regarding landscape architecture in this class, and this field trip gave us that experience that had been missing. When the assignment was given and explained to us, I must admit that I was apprehensive towards the workload and wondered why it would be necessary for us to do twenty drawings, but now that I am reflecting back on my work, I fully understand the intention behind it and I am glad that I did do it. Firstly, I had never been to an outdoor space and drawn what I had seen, so initially the task appeared daunting as I was concerned about trying to produce something that was very accurate to what I was seeing, but then after my third drawing I realized I had spent most of my afternoon on the first three while everyone else had made far more than that, so I had to be doing something wrong. I then moved into a more abstract style. Which incorporated elements of realism while aiming to make more efficient sketches, and I ended up being quite satisfied with my work, as I feel like I captured the essence of the environment pretty well without getting too orthodox about the details. Towards the end, I started counting my drawings to take inventory on how much more I needed, but then I noticed that something was missing from these sketches: the human element. Sure, I could make drawings of the space around me, but in order to establish this as a place, I needed to demonstrate how the space related to humanity and the way the two interacted.

My last two drawings capture this desire, with the 19th showing two people walking in the distance, while the last one is a selfie of me with the preserve behind me. Overall, I really enjoyed this assignment as it was quite refreshing to be working with actual environments and to be out in the field rather than being indoors all day, and it makes me quite excited to ascend into the landscape program proper!

y Window iew is... rom the window of my room, I can see a neighboring apartment comple . There are no trees or even landscaping visible. It is just several floors with dozens of windows evenly spaced in a pattern that spans from one side of the window to the other. There is a large concrete pathway separating the window from the neighboring apartments. I can hear and smell cars driving into the apartment parking garage that is just out of sight of the window. I can see and hear people walking along the pathway to their apartments. ometimes I can even see light shining through the blinds of the apartment windows. It feels very duplicated, all the windows are evenly spaced vertically, and horizontally. All the windows are the same e act size, and the roof stays the same height. It is not remarkably interesting to look at.

What I noticed the following after I drew my window view...

This pop-up card feels like the underside of a large ramp. The closer it gets to the person, the taller it gets. There is more concentration of green in certain areas. The makes the areas with less concentration of green in other areas feel a lot lighter and almost non-existent.

68 464

This pop-up card has even more unique geometric shapes. It makes it feel light but also unique. The are certain areas that have a darker green color, and other areas have a lighter green color. The darker green areas attract the viewers’ eyes.

69 465

This pop-up card shows the proper depth of the 3-D pop-up. The light blue lightly contrasts with the tan paper to be able to stand out more. The light blue is random; there are different shapes across the pop-up card.

70 466

This pop-up card does not have much depth. But the openness of the card and the bright blue colors makes it very vibrant.

There is a small amount of dark grey in random areas that is not blended into the blue. This makes the blue look even more vibrant and stands out even more.

71 467

This pop-up card has a good amount of depth with a low height ceiling on one side, and very tall ceiling on the other side.

There is a very evenly spread out slightly dark green. This shows the depth and height of the pop-card even more.

72 468

This pop-up card allows for the color to blend in which makes the depth to be not as noticeable. The color is a very light green with a faint hint of blue mixed in. Compared to the first pop-up card, the lines of the colors are a lot of curved lines instead of shading.

73 469

This pop-up card has a lot of depth and height which darkens the interior space. It also does not have bright colors to brighten the interior space. The coloring is more of a light green with some dark grey mixed in.

74 470

This pop-up card has a very low height with a short depth. This makes the front of the pop-up card feel grand with the interior feeling compressed. The lightly colored evenly spread-out green shows everything of the space.

75 471

This pop-up card has a good amount of depth with a shortened height. It has a very soft greenish-blue color that blends into the tan paper. The space feels like a concert hall with the ceiling varying heights.

76 472

This pop-up card has a very light blueish green that blends into the tan paper. The pop-up card is folded into unique geometric shapes. The back wall of the interior space is set far back. This makes the interior space feel much grander.

What you noticed that you were not aware of previously after drawing the point perspective...

The two-point perspective drawing I did was of the mold of my space cube. As I drew, I was looking at the front right corner of the mold. It is a rectangular bo with a flat diagonal wall and an open void. The thin ceiling is the e act same size as the thin floor. There is a tall, flat, diagonal wall sandwiched in between the floor and the ceiling. There is a large open void in front of the wall. There is just a bunch of walls, nothing else.

Work #7. Outdoor Sketch

Writing what you feel (see, smell, hear, etc.) before, during, and following your drawing completion...

I had an interesting experience with this outdoor sketching activity. Before I began drawing, all I could hear, and smell were cars driving by on the street nearby. With my back facing the street, and with the pond on my right side and plants on the other, it looked very peaceful. It looked uninterrupted, as if humans did not exist. But that was only for sight, I could not stop hearing and smelling the cars driving by. As I started drawing, I noticed the vast number of algae growing in the pond. When I looked even closer at the pond, I noticed a thin concrete spanning across the pond. I eventually started walking further away from the street. I walked through this path along the end of the pond with trees and bushes spanning up high and over me. These plants acted as a sound barrier from the cars. I now feel isolated within nature, I feel as though I have been walking for hours out into the deep wilderness. Although I had been walking for only a couple minutes to a place that was merely a couple hundred feet from the street. I was making my way around to the other side of the far end of the pond. I drew one of my sketches on a small wooden bridge that spans over a stream that comes from a small waterfall on the other side of the pond. At that specific point, I was the furthest away from the loud cars on the street.

There, I looked forward at the long pond that spans a long, long way straight in front of me. All I can hear is the sound of the waterfall directly behind me. All I can smell is this foul stench. It does not smell man-made; it smells like a mix of animal dropping and dirty water. It was not pleasant, but I overcame it with the beautiful sight of the pond and the plants surrounding me. And the wonderful hearing of the rushing water behind me that spills into the pond. At the end, I found out that the stench I smelt was the droppings of Bats. I sketched a drawing right along the water. There, I noticed live crawfish in the water. I later find out that they were not put there by humans. They found their way through the ground and into the pond. I still cannot believe how many different and unique types of wildlife live in this area. It was a wonderful experience for me, I learned a lot.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - I learned basics in space, area, and lighting Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - I learned to trust my gut, hands artist’s intuition.

Project #3 “Power of Patience” - I learned how to deeply analyze a piece of art by interpretting shapes, colors, and tone.

Project #4 “Space Cube” - I expanded on my knowledge from Wall, Column, and Space. I experimented with many different modes of creativity like using and analyzing color, using correct scale, how to draw floor plans, etc.

Project #5 “First Portfolio” - I learned how to use In Design, and learned about how professional portfolios are set up and labeled.

Overall If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

What I noticed the following after I drew my window view...

After completing my drawing, I noticed a few small details about my surroundings and from my view of the other side of my apartment building. I noticed there weren’t many trees or greenery in the pool area facing downward from my apartment view. I also noticed the way the water rippled in a certain pattern.

. The first pop up was rather difficult. Since it was my first attempt at this exercise, I also did the folding incorrectly.

68 492

My second pop up worked out nicely, I enjoyed cutting out the top arches. I folded the paper correctly and thought it was easier than the one before.

69 493

.The third attempt was interesting to fold and to cut due to the stairs and other small, tedious cuts. My shaving foam art didn’t go across the whole page so there is less color which is a bummer.

70 494

. I had the same issue with this pop up as I did the previous, the paint didn’t fill the entire page. The cuts and folds were relatively easy, but the positioning of the structure was difficult.

71 495

The colors on this pop up are some of my favorites of the whole sample. I like the height of the pop up and the soft curves of the arches.

72 496

The large window cut outs of this pop up took away from the colors and pattern of this page, which is unfortunate because the colors and pattern of this page were very pleasing to look at.

73 497

. I loved this pop up. The structure of the columns and the different levels added via stairs were an interesting aspect. The colors were gorgeous between the cuts of windows.

74 498

I think this pop up made the most sense when thinking of readability in terms of being able to tell what a window or a platform is. The pattern of the paint is very interesting and dynamic while only being shades of green.

75 499

The white and blue color scheme of this pop up gave a sort of classic look to the otherwise extremely modern cut out structure.

76 500

The last pop up confused me in terms of what was being conveyed, I was confused and unsure of what some of the cuts and folds were intended to be or show. There wasn’t much color on this piece which gave a better look into the cuts and folds.

77 501

78 502

For my plaster mold, I used several colors and techniques of spreading the shaving foam as well as the paint across and throughout the mold. The contrast of the types of green going from an earthy, light yellow green to a dark, moody forest green gave the piece a dynamic and fun clash of colors. I used other blues from my original painting to add to the mold as well. I noticed once I was complete and had washed off the shaving cream and paint that it gave the plaster mold an interesting look, resembling the earth from space.

Work #6. Value in 2-point Perspective

What you noticed that you were not aware of previously after drawing the 2 point perspective...

Once completing my two-point perspective drawing of my 3d space cube model, I really started to notice little craftsmanship issues I had made in the assembly. I could see the uneven lines in my foamboard cuts. I also thought of other ways I could’ve made the model better overall. I realized I could’ve done extra walls or curves or even more surfaces that would be coherent with my model and the flow of intent

Work #7. Outdoor Sketch

Writing what you feel (see, smell, hear, etc.) before, during, and following your drawing completion...

During my time at the Illinois River Watershed site, I was met with many familiar feelings, senses, and emotions. It was very hot and humid this day, which was already an obstacle. I started by sitting at the end of the bank toward the street, facing into the trees and the water in front of me. It was windy which was nice paired with the humidity. I had never worked with charcoal before, so this was a new overall experience for me as well as drawing outside which I wasn’t used to. As I moved around the site, I noticed a salty, almost beachy smell which I found interesting as there are no saltwater beaches in Northwest Arkansas. I was wondering where the salty water smell was coming from, so I got up after finishing a few drawings and tried to find the origin of the smell. I got closer to the water to take a sketch up close to the bank and the water without much interference or distraction provided by the trees and other greenery around me, here I discovered the beach smell was coming from the water which was counterintuitive the more I thought about it. As I walked farther into the greenery of the trails the air seemed to feel a lot denser, heavier. I was sure this feeling was from the large canopy overhanging the trail I was on. I decided to sit there along the trail and draw a little path downward on the hill I was atop. I craned my neck up at the large tree branches over my head, this was such an interesting view to me, I wanted to capture the height and weight of these trees within my sketches, which I’m too sure I was able to communicate. Again, this was my first time using charcoal and soft pencils to draw, and I hadn’t really done much of my drawings or art outside.

I just wanted to give it my best shot and effort which I can say I definitely feel as though I tried my best to do so.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - In this project in learned that different lighting is super helpful and can make a huge difference in the way the space looks and feels.

Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - When drawing I always feel free and have fun doing it. I learned that there’s many different techniques and ways to draw.

Project #3 “Power of Patience” - I learned that patience is very important. Whether that’s sitting at a certain painting and really digging deep into what it means or if it’s as simple as taking your time when designing.

Project #4 “Space Cube” - Everything is connected! I learned that it’s smart to choose wisely when making decisions and to try your hardest on something because there is a chance it could be connected to something else. The space cube was a great example of that.

Project #5 “First Portfolio” - I learned that taking good pictures of things the first time around is super helpful in the end, as well as naming files as I upload them.

Overall - Throughout these 5 weeks I’ve learned so much. One thing that really stuck with me though when reviewing what I learned was the friendships and confidence I’ve made along the way. Those 2 things are super important to me and they make this process much easier!

If I could talk to myself before these past five weeks I would tell myself these things: - It is going to feel like a lot at first but everything is so worth it.

- Continue to talk to people because you will meet lifelong friends who are there to help you and push you to be your best.

- There will be long nights in the studio, but you will be accompanied by your friends and get it done together.

- Let it be fun.

- Take breaks now and then to let your brain rest, then come back and give your best effort.

- Hangout with your studio friends! They are in the same boat and need someone just as much as you do.

I wanted my first picture to be full of the brightest similar colors. I started by adding a lot of orange and the other color amount just came naturally after.

68 520

This sheet has a coolor tone than the rest. I added a different shade of pink with some blue and light green.

69 521

I decded to try and use some lines in this one to make it different. I used my ruler to scrape a dark line of pink paint on the bottom of the paper.

70 522

I stuck with one color this time ansd felt that this particular pop up design would work great since there was a lot of open space.

71 523

I added hints of grey to my green color and then drizzled brown on top to create a dirty look.

72 524

I kept this design very simple and contained. I enjoyed making the deisgn smaller than most of the others I created.

73 525

This sheet is very muted and dull. This matched the pop up design because it is very closed off and dull.

74 526

I used pink paint as my first color then added small hints of green blue and yellow.I mixed them very lightly to make sure the pink stood out.

75 527

I used all 12 colors in this one but the most dominant ones were pink, green, and yellow. The right corner has a large smear of brown that grew as I drug the ruler across the paper.

76 528

I wanted this one to have lines going horizontal. I added blue on the top green on the botom andpink in the mox of both.

Once I swirled them all together the lines got a little mixed up.

Work #7. Outdoor Sketch

I have only used charcoal a few times and it was years ago in grade school. I remember getting frustrated when using it because I could not get the drawing exactly like I wanted. However, today I enjoyed using charcoal.

Before arriving at the Illinois River Watershed Partnership, I had a different idea in mind about what it would be like to use charcoal in this setting. I knew it would be hot and tiring but I was extremely excited to go outside and just be in nature. Upon arrival I instantly felt at peace and knew it was going to be a good successful day mentally and physically. I started by finding an area where I could focus and take in the beautiful scenery without distraction. I began to draw what I saw but more so what I felt while looking at the landscape. After moving from place to place I started to get comfortable using the materials around me. Once I had a few pages done I started on one that really stuck out to me. I sat down in the middle of the trail and chose an area with smaller plants and trees. I drew what I saw with the charcoal but then thought about what it might look like if I used a leaf from the plant I was drawing. I picked a leaf off the plant and smashed it on my page.

The green color it transferred opened my eyes to what this project was about. After that drawing I continued to use the materials I found around me for the rest of my drawings when it felt necessary.

When I returned home I looked through all my drawings and was proud that I chose to let myself draw what I felt and saw instead of trying to make it perfect. It was freeing to let my hand and eyes work together with no pressure. I am so glad that I got to experience this kind of art today and look forward to taking the lessons I learned with me back into the studio.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - I learned the effects of lights within spaces and the effects of scaled objects interacting within a space.

Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - I learned how to draw abstractly and apply the creative way of drawing into sketches and work more efficiently in making plans.

Project #3 “Power of Patience” - I learned how to study art principles and elements and how to apply them to color relationships and forms of objects within an interior space.

Project #4 “Space Cube” - I learned how to interate in order to promote craftsmanship in my model making, and how the process of model making works.

Project #5 “First Portfolio” - I learned how to turn physical model spaces into AI generated images and how my intentions for the models are dispalyed in the generations.

Overall - My section instructor Jinoh Park gave me a unique perspective in design principles and practices. Through diffreent mediums of representation like model making, image capturing, AI generation, and drawing I was alble to articulate my design intentions well and clearly.

Work #7. Outdoor Sketch

From the exercise at the watershed it wasn’t clear at first what I was specifically looking at and observing when I was making my drawings, but I knew the basic things I was drawing were trees, grass or greenery, shrubs, water, rocks, etc. It wasn’t until Annie did the Q&A session after the exercise to answer our specific questions about the watershed, then I knew the specific formations and places that I was drawing. So, what I figured out was that I was observing a series of dammed water paths coming from the nearby cave. There was algae that helped keep the water supply healthy and stable for the ecosystem. I knew what I was hearing from arrival was the species of birds in the area, but I didn’t know the foul smell that was coming from the watershed until also after Annie’s Q&A session. It was bat poop from the same nearby cave. Overall the watershed had a lot of unique perspectives to draw from and I enjoyed getting an afternoon off from our “traditional” studio work processes.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - I learned how various types of walls, columns, and structures impact a space. I also learned how different strctures and lighting strategies can allow a space to display various emotions and styles.

Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - Handdrawing has taught me to think creatively and develop ideas quickly without relying on digital tools. It has also improved my ability to visualize spatial relationships and communicate concepts clearly to others.

Project #3 “Power of Patience” - In the Power of Patience project, I learned that taking the time to thoroughly engage with a design allows for a deeper understanding and appreciation of its components. This patience reveals details and insights that might otherwise be missed, leading to more thoughtful and well-crafted design solutions.

Project #4 “Space Cube” - The Space Cube project taught me to design each space with a clear purpose, always considering the user and how the space will impact them emotionally and functionally. Additionally, I was able to hone my craft in model making through the process of iteration, refining my skills with each version.

Project #5 “First Portfolio” - In my first portfolio project, I used AI to enhance my images and bring them to life, giving me a clear vision of how my project could be displayed. This allowed me to see adjustments I would make to the projects I submitted, and I can see AI becoming an essential tool in my career as it continues to grow and integrate into our daily lives.

Overall - I developed numerous technical skills through programs like Adobe and Rhino, and I also learned valuable lessons in assessing how different structures, lighting strategies, materials, and colors impact a space.

If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

- I would advise myself that even though your workload is heavy and your schedule is packed, it’s crucial to develop a thoughtful plan with clear objectives before diving into the final stages of any project

Work #3. My Window View My Window View is...

The view from the window in my room displays a balcony outside and an abundance of trees and open sky in the distance. I hear birds chirping and the sound of people laughing and having conversations while sitting out on their balconies, and I smell fresh air all around me.

When drawing this view from memory, and then looking through my window to see what I was not aware of I noticed that I had a chair on the balcony outside my window and there were a few more details on the column that I had originally missed. My memory also was as peaceful as I remembered it to be as the sounds of construction were the only thing I could hear around me.

Work #5. Shaving Cream Marbling

Image 1: One of the primary colors I selected from the “Homage to the Squares” series was red. To achieve a diverse range of tones, I mixed red with gray, creating a spectrum that includes shades of red, pink, and white. My intention was to concentrate on variations of a single color for this composition.

Image 2: In this variation, I incorporated tones of yellow and orange, which blended to form a purple hue. For my space cube and color chips, I chose the emotion of joy, and I felt that this warm color palette effectively conveyed a sense of warmth and happiness.warmth and happiness.

68 602

Image 3: For this sheet, I aimed for a more playful approach by incorporating a lighter tone of green. I spread the paint more loosely across the marble sheet, creating an abstract design that enhances the fun and joyful atmosphere.

Image 4: With this sheet, I aimed to create a calm and peaceful feeling by keeping the marbling very light, with just a few areas where the paint is more concentrated. This subtle approach enhances the serene and tranquil atmosphere of the piece.

69 603

Image 5: I aimed to make this sheet feel more complete and vibrant. By using colors like orange, red, yellow, and white, I created a scene filled with happy emotions. My goal was for this piece to evoke the same sense of peace and serenity as a sunrise.

Image 6: Following the same guidelines as with image 1, I focused on a single tone for this sheet. I made the sheet more visually rich, and instead of aiming for a more complete look, I used the marbling effect to achieve this enhanced fullness.

70 604

Image 7 : This sheet allowed me to explore a more vibrant palette by incorporating a deeper red tone mixed with turquoise. Red is typically seen as a color that evokes boldness, excitement, and confidence, and this combination enhances those emotions. I think this palette allowed me to convey my emotions with a deeper set of tones.

Image 8: I focused on the other colors in my original palette: green and yellow. Yellow symbolizes happiness and optimism, while green represents tranquility. I really enjoyed creating this piece, as the playful marbling effect perfectly captures the joyful and serene emotions I aimed to convey.

71 605

Image 9: For this sheet, I drew inspiration from Claude Monet and aimed to recreate his vision and color palette seen in his garden paintings. I believed this approach would reflect the original emotion I selected, with the composition of colors conveying a calm and serene outlook.

Image 10: The intention behind this sheet was to emphasize a single solid color: yellow. Yellow is often associated with joy, and I concentrated most of the paint towards the center of the sheet to create an inviting focal point.

72 606

Image 11: Building onto the last sheet, I introduced small concentrations of pink. This addition aimed to deepen the sheet’s complexity and expand upon the color palette, enriching the overall composition.

Image 12: For this sheet, I took a simpler approach with purple as the focal point. I introduced yellow and red to create a warm color palette, aiming to evoke an inviting scene. This combination of colors enhances the overall warmth and harmony of the composition.

73 607

Image 13: Following the last sheet, I added more paint to make the composition fuller and richer. Additionally, I incorporated areas of yellow into the mix to enhance the overall vibrancy and complexity of the piece.

Image 14: In this sheet, I aimed to explore the concept of contrast deeply. I juxtaposed a lighter tone of red with a solid black color to create a striking visual contrast. This strategy results in a unique composition that conveys the idea of navigating through darkness towards light.

74 608

Image 15: The next few sheets return to the color palette featuring tones of red, orange, and purple to express my emotions. I focused on evenly distributing the shaving foam and paint across the sheet to achieve a distinctive appearance.

Image 16: Building on the previous sheet, I incorporated more yellow paint to evoke the concept of a sunrise. I believe this sheet captures a sense of peacefulness and joyousness, conveying an image that is serene and uplifting.

75 609

Image 17: On this sheet, I employed a stripping technique where I poured lines of paint directly onto the foam, creating a vein-like appearance. This technique resulted in a unique composition that distinguishes my sheet.

Image 18: This sheet features the same color palette as earlier ones, but I aimed to evenly mix the colors across the entire surface. This approach creates a harmonious distribution of colors throughout the composition.

76 610

Image 19 : Using the colors green, yellow, and pink, I employed the marbling technique to incorporate shades reminiscent of the original square I selected from the “Homage to the Squares” series. This palette was chosen to convey the emotion of joy, reflecting a cheerful and vibrant composition.

Image 20: Following the exact strategy from the first sheet, I utilized tones of red to create swirling patterns in the shaving foam, resulting in a distinctive and intricate design.

77 611

78 612

The 2D colors pink, orange, and red from the marble shavimng foam project help to create a dynamic pattern around and inside my plaster space cube model. The composition helps to create a warm and inviting space that continues to create the original emotion I picked, joy. The patterns used on the 3D model make it more appealing and bold.

Work #7. Outdoor Sketch This project required us to visit the Illinois River Watershed to explore the landscape and document our observations through 20 abstract but realistic drawings. The site was remarkably peaceful, evoking cherished memories from my childhood when I went fishing with my family. I truly enjoyed and appreciated the thoughtful layout of the site, which was divided into distinct sections. The first area featured a wide-open pond with a charming structure that included seating. The second section comprised well-maintained trails, while the third section was a secluded part showcasing the water flowing directly from a cave into the expansive pond.

It was very interesting to observe the thought process behind the landscape design and how the space is maintained to ensure functionality and health for the surrounding wildlife.

During our visit, we noticed multiple crawfish thriving naturally in the third section, which was a cool discovery. This site offered a comprehensive learning experience, helping me focus not only on the visible structures and landscapes but also on the sounds, smells, and elements of nature around me.

A few questions arose regarding the site’s history, water management, and ecological balance: What was the original process for designing the flow of water from the cave into the man-made pond, and how was the size of the pond determined? Does the buildup of algae pose any issues or harm the local wildlife? Additionally, how does the site management team address invasive species to protect the natural habitat?

Overall, this exercise was incredibly enriching, enhancing my appreciation for the relationship between landscape design and environmental stewardship. The experience has broadened my perspective, allowing me to see beyond the immediate visual appeal to the underlying ecological and structural elements. This newfound understanding will undoubtedly inform my future endeavors, as I now recognize the importance of considering all aspects of an environment when engaging in similar projects.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - The way you organize elements within a space can make a big difference in how the space makes you feel.

Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - Hand Drawing is a good way to connect with the outside or inside environment and notice details you had previously overlooked.

Project #3 “Power of Patience” - It takes a while to notice small things, but consistently observing and analyzing can help you think about things in a way you haven’t thought of before.

Project #4 “Space Cube” - Iteration and patience is key. Creating multiple models of ideas can help to create the best final outcome.

Project #5 “First Portfolio” - Though projects might seem hard while you’re working on them, the end result is usually worth it. Have patience and try your best.

Overall - Going out of your comfort zone when it comes to ideation and designing can be scary, but very beneficial.

If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

- Try to find a balance between being productive and getting things done, but also having good craftsmanship. Try to show who you are and what you feel through what you create.

y Window iew is... ooking through my window I see an organized street. The sky is clear and the sun is bright, with trees lining the neighborhood. ome trees are full, while others are very bare with little to no leaves. any cars are parked in the driveway, and some cars are parked on the side. very now and then a car drives past and I can hear the cars passing by on the street close to the neighborhood. It’s calm, and feels very balanced.

What I noticed the following after I drew my window view...

Drawing the window view, I noticed hills for the rst time beyond the neighborhood that I’ve overlooked previously. ome houses are one story, while others are two. The houses facing in front of mine are all one level. ome people have objects in their driveway while others are very neat and organized. The neighborhood is uiet, and the birds are louder.

y Window iew is...

Reflecting on the window view again, more details stand out. The clarity of the sky and the bright sun highlights the neighborhood. The hills in the background add dimension into the scene of the neighborhood. Having a mi ture of one and two story houses creates a varied architectural area. oticing how the driveways are maintained and the outside decor of the houses highlight different lifestyles in the community, with some family homes, college roommates, or older couples. The view is more intricate and detailed.

Work #5. Shaving Cream Marbling

I created this sheet using all colors in my color palette, like red, green, yellow, and pink. I also added gray to try and resemble some of the darker colors in my palette, but instead of directly mixing the gray with the color, I did it in the marbling tray, resulting in a mixture of different shades of colors.

68 630

For this sheet, I used mostly pink and red. I wanted to use more warm colors. Many of the colors in this sheet are bright and the contrast between the yellow and red creates visual interest.

69 631

For this sheet I used a variety of colors, but mixing them resulted in a brown and grayish color.

70 632

For this sheet, I used red and yellow. Combining the two while marbling resulted in a warm, fall-like, orange color.

71 633

For the first sheet, it ended up being more simple because I used less acrylic paint to marble. I used warmer colors like pink, red, and orange.

72 634

The first sheet is mostly orange because the red and yellow mixed while I pressed the paper down. The sheet shows red, yellow, and orange colors.

73 635

I created this sheet by using red and yellow, along with brown and pink. The red and yellow mixed together to create a bright orange color.

74 636

The first sheet is very minimal which is the result of using leftover paint for marbling my previous sheet. This sheet features more brown and green colors.

75 637

I liked the idea of creating a bright and colorful marbling sheet. To do this, I combined all of the colors in my palette and organized them on the sheet to where they would stand out indivudally without getting mixed together.

76 638

These sheets were created by using all colors of the rainbow to do my marbling. I created a detailed marbled affect by swiling the paint around before I placed the sheet down.

Work #6. Value in 2-point Perspective

Doing the perspective drawing of my space cube model I noticed several things. One of the first things I noticed is that one of the squares for the first level is slightly above another square on the same level, but when you look at it in perspective they appear to be even. I also noticed that on the floor level, one of the walls is slightly slanted. Additionally, the corner where the two walls meet on the floor level is directly diagonal from the stairs.

Work #7. Outdoor Sketch

As I created my landscape drawings, I noticed many things around me. The blue water reflected the sun above, creating a shimmering effect. There was a lot of algae that ran from the beginning of the water up until the halfway point, adding texture and color to the scene. Two buildings in the distance provided shade, creating shadows on the grass and flowers below. At the end of the land, I saw a small waterfall, with a small cave. A bridge connected the land between the waterfall to the other side and created a focal point for the waterfall.

As I was drawing, every now and then I would feel a gentle breeze that helped alleviate the heat from the sun. Besides the heat, I enjoyed being outside, surrounded by nature. Sitting under the shade created a perfect environment for drawing, where I felt comfortable and focused.

In the distance, I could hear birds chirping, and rustling leaves. Close to the entrance, I noticed many cars driving on the street, but the sound of the traffic was faint and hard to hear as I walked further into the landscape. As I walked closer to the waterfall, the sound of flowing water grew louder with each step. Every now and then I could hear conversations in the background but most of the time everything seemed very quiet.

Through drawing, I noticed subtle changes in lighting as the sun moved across the sky. Along the edge of one of the buildings, I saw different colored flowers—white and pink—that added pops of color to the scene. Some of the objects in the landscape, like the buildings and the bridge, looked older and more historic.

The combination of what I saw, felt, and heard made the drawing process enjoyable and grounding. Capturing these details on paper allowed me to connect with the environment in a more meaningful way that felt calm and grounded.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - I learned how to imagine myself in a room with walls and columns and how the position of those walls and columns would make me feel.

Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - I learned how to draw by looking at what I’m drawing instead of looking at the paper I am drawing on.

Project #3 “Power of Patience” - I learned how to dipect meanings out of paintings.

Project #4 “Space Cube” - I learned how to make a complex enviornment functionable.

Project #5 “First Portfolio” - I learned different software tools that will enhance my work.

Overall - I learned the basic skills of interior architecture.

If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

While drawing the view out my window, I saw flowers wilting, and others beginning to bloom. lowers of all sizes and kinds lled the yard. y favorite flowers, lilies, lined the window. ird feeders were placed in perfect view of the window and I noticed how welcoming this made our hard feel. As I studied the yard and land across the road, it was brought to my attention that everything looked full. Weeds aggressively took over the rich green grass, dead tree limbs spread throughout the treeline, and the ditches and pastures were way overgrown. The overgrowth made my drawing look chaotic and I felt like it was unmaintained.

I could smell bacon and hashbrowns cooking in a cast iron skillet. I could hear bickering between my younger siblings.

When looking through my window, I felt peaceful. I was calm, even though my household was far from calm. To me, that is what I call home. There is never a dull moment at my house.

On this canvas, I added a saturated purple. When wiping away the saving cream, I took my ruler to make vertical lines of color throughout the canvas. I also tried to do a “wave” effect. If you look closely, you can see it in the top left through the top right.

On this one, I started by making an “X” shape with my darkest color. Then I went in with a blue and made an oval. To add more color, I sprinkled yellow throughout the canvas. I wanted the darkest color to be thick and the main focus of the piece, but it didn’t turn out to be as dark as I wanted.

73 663

Scanned Marbling Paper

I also had a lot of fun with this one. I used all of my colors except for red and orange. I wanted this to look like a cloud, not touching on each horizontal side. To get this shape, I only placed paint in the middle of the shaving cream and then when removing the shaving cream, I angeled my ruler differently, giving it a twisting effect.

74 664

Scanned Marbling Paper

I kept the same pinks and reds but this time I tried to make little specks of red appear more bold.

75 665

Yellow and pink were my main focus on this canvas. I tried to move the excess shave cream off of the canvas in different directions. You can notice gaps of white between the colors because of that technique.

76 666

Red was my main focus on this canvas. After adding colors to the shaving cream, I swirled the colors into the shaving cream. This created a marble look.

77 667

When painting my model with colors I thought resembled fear, I tried to paint bright colors against dark colors. I color because I felt like if the colors that I chose flowed together smoothly, that wouldn’t portray a fearful feeling

ainting the deepest part of the mold with the darkest color portrayed that feeling of fear. I painted the surface a appear even darker like it was a never-ending hole.

n the other void, I kept the same color for the interior of the void but I painted the surface blue instead of oran the red made the wall feel more obno ious, bright, and intimidating.

around the deepest void a bright orange hue because the intensity and brightness of the orange made the void

nge. The reason for this is that I liked the way the tall red wall contrasted with the blue. I felt like the blue ne t to

portray an eerie, hesitant feeling. I used orange and blue to try to connect the blue at the bottom of the mold long periods of time, especially when walking, one could begin to feel dizzy and confused.

Work #6. Value in 2-point Perspective

When drawing the two-point perspective I didn’t realize how di cult it would be to draw something that doesn’t have an e ual distance on both sides. The left side is much longer than the right side, so I had a di cult time positioning the model on my page. I also struggled with understanding two-point perspective and didn’t know if I should choose two vertical or horizontal points. I know vertical lines stay vertical when drawing two-point perspective and horizontal lines will connect at your two points, but I struggled with drawing diagonal lines, as I wasn’t sure which direction to draw them. verall, I feel like I did a good job adding value to my drawing.

Work #7. Outdoor Sketch

Jericha Lambeth Water Shed On a warm summer day, I sat on a bright pink towel with charcoal in my hand and a big canvas at my feet. I stared across a small lake, trying to connect with what appeared before me in some way. I began by studying what I saw. From a distance, everything appeared still.

However, if I looked closely, I could notice small movements in everything. The branches in the dense forest line moved ever so slightly. Little ripples in the water made their way across the lake, appearing to move east. The grass I sat on swayed back and forth. The leaves on the trees turned slightly from side to side. I could see people spread out, standing and sitting, intensely studying the scenery around them. I could see geese swimming and drinking from the distance. I could see algae floating on top of the water but also rising towards the surface when looking into the water. I could see perch slowly swimming in the water.

As I studied the noises around me, I could hear the echoing of a helicopter flying in the distance. The deep rumble seemed to lingerie in the trees. I could hear cars driving on the nearby outer road. Stopping and going, engines revving. I could hear leaves ruffling from the light breeze. At times, the stillness stuck out to me. There were faint to no sounds here and there. I could hear the sound of paper flopping. Although I desperately begged for the wind, the pages from my sketch pad would flip over and hit me in the face, startling me. I became quite frustrated with the wind, my paper, and the charcoal. I found the charcoal to be very messy and difficult to work with.

I could feel small ants crawling on me while I was trying to draw. I could feel the heat beating down on me. I could feel a soft breeze once in a while that I was so thankful for. I can feel grass tickling my legs. When sitting on the ground, I could feel the hardness of the tree roots. When walking up a hill I could feel the tiredness in my legs. When walking towards the sound of water falling, I could feel the change in the temperature as I got closer to the stream.

When standing inches from the stream, I barely dipped my fingers in the water. The water felt ice cold and I desperately wanted to dive in, submerging myself in the fresh cold water.

My intention for this piece was to use the off white/tan color in my square. I didn’t use this color more than a few times because I tend to love color more than neutrals.

I put several flower designs and lines and patterns on this sculpture. My inspo was the buildings and architecture in Greece.

our Intention writing

My intention with this colored plaster mold was to make it a piece of art. This is a portion of a children’s tree house or a building for children. I wanted to create something 701 that was calming but also fun and would stand out.

Work #6. Value in 2-point Perspective My two point perspective drawing challenged me at first because I’ve never done that kind of drawing before, but after a few tries I felt more confident. I noticed that in two points, shading is very important because it helps the viewer to understand what parts are 3D and what parts are 2D.

Work #7. Outdoor Sketch

When I sat down to do the outdoor sketch I felt drawn to this patch of brightly colored flowers in front of the river. I am a huge lover of color and these flowers were pink, yellow, white, and orange. They were surrounded by cobblestone bricks that acted as a barrier. Behind these flowers you could look out at the calm blue river with lush green trees along the river’s edge. I felt at ease sitting here by the water. I saw a butterfly land on one of the flowers when I was sitting there and it made me realize how much beauty there is all around us. I think sometimes I forget how easy it is to be out in nature, especially in Arkansas. I’m looking forward to improving my sketching skills. I tend to draw plants and animals so it will be interesting to see how I will do with buildings. Overall I’m proud of how my drawings turned out and it was engaging to get to use a new drawing material. Charcoal makes it easy to let loose and not take yourself or your drawing too seriously.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - What I learned after the wall column and space was that dependong on the palcement of the objects, it can affect the lighting. It also taght me scale and how to use an exacto knife, arch ruler, etc.

Project #2 “Hand Drawing” Project #3 “Power of Patience” - Power of patience taught me that the more you look at something the more you can understand it. Art has deeper meaning the more you try to observe and study it.

Project #4 “Space Cube” - The space cube taught me how to build structures and make pathways. I learned how to put together scenes and take photos.

Project #5 “First Portfolio” - During this section I learned how to use InDesign and learned how to put together my portfolio.

Overall If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

What I would tell myself 5 weeks ago was to be prepared and make sure you have all of your supplies. I would tell her it will be hard, tedious, time consuming, and that moments will feel overwhelming but nothing you cannot handle! The time passes very fast so it doesn’t feel like you are there 8 plus hours a day. There will be late nights but the present self made sure to not go to the school on the weekends. You will learn so many new things that you didn’t before and won’t even reealize how much time has passed!

Work #3 . M y Wi n dow V i ew

From the window of my room, I see other people's apartments and their balconies. My feelings towards it are annoying because who would want to see that? And people can see into my room plus me if my blinds are open, which is weird too. There are two apartments, one a darker blue on the left and one a more greenish blue on the right. They have different color doors and exterior designs but are still very similar and seem to be made from the same material. In between the two homes, there is a parking garage that is a dark green and tan color. Above it is some trees and the blue sky. I wish I had a better view, but it is okay.

After drawing my window view, I was aware that there were trees above the parking garage. Which is wired that I never noticed. Something else I did not seem to notice until the drawing were the X crosses on the side of the building. I thought they looked interesting, but it made the exterior look better.

After drawing I just seemed to hate my window view even more.

I can see into other people’s apartment's because we aren't spaced out enough and saw some people while drawing. I realized it would probably be best to keep my blinds closed while I stay here for the summer. I hear music playing in the background and see a sunny day outside. There is green grass and a few clouds, but it is still sunny

Work #5. Shaving Cream Marbling

The 18th page consisted of swirls of light grey and light blue. My intention was to keep the painting feeling light and earthy by using soft swirls and less bold colors.

68 742

I started off with a clean layer of shaving cream and added different tones of blue. I swirled it around and placed the paper in the tray. I did this because sadness reminds me of blue the most.

69 743

I used more blues to match my (emotion) sadness. There are a few splotches of yellow to contrast the emotion of blue.

My intention was to continue having most of the page blue but adding more yellow

70 744

I made sure to swirl the shaving cream with the paint to give off swirl designs when I transferred the design. This consised of yellow and blues that matched the second color combination.

71 745

I used only the second color combination. I used more blues to match my (emotion) sadness. There are a few splotches of yellow to contrast the emotion of blue

72 746

I used the third color and first color combination of greys and blues to evoke the emotion sadness. I wanted the colors to stay a bold color so I barley swirled the paint and shaving cream.

73 747

I started with a new layer of shaving cream and swirled the colors of blue and yellow with a hiny of gray to make a blended color but still leaving some swirls to give character.

74 748

My intension was to only use the first color combination, which included different tones of blue. I swirled the blue around in the clean shaving cream (to give off a clean design)

75 749

it consisted of color combination 3 of only grey and blues. I added a hint of grey to add darker, gloomier colors. I did not want any distinct blobs, so I swirled the paint around thoriughly.

76 750

My goal was to only use color combination 1 on this sheet. I wanted to envoke the feeling of saddness by using different tones of blues. I swirled the color around to make abstract shapes.

77 751

78 752

In the beginning the plaster model was a tan plain color. I painted 2D colors on the 3D model which included three different tones of blue, two tones of grey, and a light tone of yellow. The way the 2D colors worked on the 3D model was how I used them. I used the medium tone blue of the three and painted the top surfaces where the light is shining down from. For the lightest blue I used to paint the back wall where the light hits. For the darkest tone of blue, I used to paint the inner curved wall surfaces that the figure would see and walk through (the light does not shine on these objects). For the lighter tone grey, I used to paint the floor (Note: This was still a dark grey) and as for the darker tone grey I used to paint inside the circle walls where barely to no light shines in. By doing this the 2D colors worked in my 3d space.

Work #6. Value in 2-point Perspective

What you noticed that you were not aware of previously after drawing the point perspective...

What I noticed after my D drawing was how many objects were going on in the space. It looks a little crowded from this point of perspective. omething else I noticed after drawing was the staircase shows through the window cut out. ther than these two things, I have not noticed many other things.

Work #7. Outdoor Sketch

My first impression of the site that we were drawing was skepticism. The temperature was ridiculously hot, and I forgot a towel to sit on which was incredibly sad.

When I first sat down, I was worried because there were so many bugs, spiders, ants etc. everywhere in the grass and flying around. The body of water was a pretty blue however it had a lot of algae in it, and it was right beside a busy road with passing cars. There was not much smell I initially thought besides the “outdoor smell.”

As we started to draw, we first had to pick a spot. I enjoyed walking around and seeing the different sites the park/lake had. I finally found what I wanted to draw first and was excited. I saw a hill going up with trees forming a canopy at the top. Under the trees was a wide trail of grass and to the left and right were full of trees and bushes. The sunlight was shining through the leaves and making sun rays through the sky, making it look heavenly. There was no smell still and even though I found a good site to draw, I was still hot. For all 20 of my drawings, I found it difficult to draw trees the way I wanted them to look and found it overall hard to make the image that I wanted. Despite this I realized my feelings towards the site and scenery were changing as I drew different spots each time.

For one of the drawings, you had to walk down a trail and halfway down it, you get this instant waft of an unpleasant smell that I later learned is bat feces. At the end of the path there was a bridge, a patch of green grass, the body of water, and a small wood hut. Surrounded by this was all tall and full trees making the scenery look like a hidden hangout spot (it was very pretty).

After my time for drawing was up, I thought this place was very pretty and had much more serene sites than I thought. Despite this, I was ready to leave because it was very hot and there were so many bugs. I felt so gross. When leaving I still thought the exterior of the park entrance was not very welcoming and nice with the busy road right next to it. I was grateful that we got to explore more and find beautiful sites and try to draw them.

The four colors I used in this were a wine red, bright red, black, and aqua blue. These colors gave the model a pop as well as a theme of darkness. The red clashed well with the black on the stairs creating a effect of the stairs getting darker the higher they go. The blue and the red worked well together and complemented the original color of the plaster.

Work #6. Value in 2-point Perspective

What you noticed that you were not aware of previously after drawing the 2 point perspective... For my 2 point perspective I noticed how the structure I created wouldn’t look great on a play surface and it is almost necessary for it to be resting on an elevated surface which is why I included a landscape around it to not only include scar but to create a sense of balance and aesthetic.

Work #7. Outdoor Sketch Writing what you feel (see, smell, hear, etc.) before, during, and following your drawing completion... When going to the Illinois river watershed I found that I had a very peaceful experience. The site made me feel calm and appreciative of nature. The crystal clear water, the diverse trees, and the sound of nature put me in a state of reflection and focus. When it came to performing the exercise I enjoyed the feeling of intuitive creation where my hand was moving and my mind was taking a back seat in the process of sketching what I saw. I felt a true sense of hand eye and utensil relationship and nothing else, no thoughts, no mistakes just flow. Within my mind I found that I was sensing an expedient consumption of the world around me. I was not just an artist, I was a copying machine with my eyes seeing and my hand illustrating.

This sense of creative freedom is unlike anything I’ve experienced in my life. My whole life I have been wrapped up in the thoughts of precision and accuracy never consciously deviating from my basic way of thinking. With this new found feeling of artistic flow and learning to let go I found that memories of childhood places were flooding my memories and I associated all the trees with the one where we buried my old dog and it was at my grandfather’s farm. This was not a sad memory though but a nostalgic feeling that overtook me as I remembered the tree and the flowers that surrounded the grave. What once was a sad day of my past has now been transformed into a bitter but more so sweet experience where I feel I have learned more about my potential as an artist. With this it led me to some questions about the site like when the lake was built. I was also curious as to why the water was so clear but also filled with algae. I also would like to know what the main food source for the bats are.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - What I learned while doing the Wall, Colomn, and Space project was how to manage my time and patience. This assignment was repetitive and it felt like I was taking picture after picture and cutting constantly. I learned how to manage my time to where I wasn't staying super late to finish but I was also getting it done correctly and on time.

Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - What I learned from the hand drawing projects was how to draw in a one-point perspective and also a two-point perspective. I also learned what a blind contour is and that I need to practice drawing those more. What I learned the most about the project was during the outdoor sketches. These taught me to think further than drawing what I see and to try and capture what I hear and see while also the feeling of the landscape.

Project #3 “Power of Patience” - The main thing that I took from this project was patience, even though the purpose of this assignment was to learn patience. I learned how to look more in-depth at a painting and to see further than just how aesthetically pleasing it is. I now know what the design elements and principles are and how to look for them in different paintings and artworks.

Project #4 “Space Cube” - What I learned from the space cube projects was how important iteration is. While doing this many different times even though it felt repetitive, it helped me create the best and most efficient model. Doing things over and over again may not feel like you are getting very far but in reality, it really helped me see the best view of what I wanted my outcome to look like in the final model.

Project #5 “First Portfolio” - What I learned during this project was how to use AI. I had never used AI prior to this assignment so it was a new experience for me and overall just cool to learn. Even though it wasn't always easy or wasn't working correctly, it still allowed me to get a feel of how it works and what it can do to create different things.

Overall - Overall, I learned time management, patience, and many different skills. First coming into this course I was nervous about the workload or how I would be able to accomplish everything during such a small time frame. While being here I figured out that while it was time-consuming and took a lot of effort it is more than doable. Focusing on my time management is what really helped me set a pace and feel like I was able to stay on track.

If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

- If I could talk to you before these five weeks I would tell myself not to stress so much about how you're going to get all my work done and that yes, it is time-consuming but it was honestly quite fun and you meet great people.

Work #3. My Window View

My Window View is...

From the view of my window, I see a parking lot right in front of a grass patch. Behind the patch grass there is a wall separating the parking lot outside my window from another parking lot that connects to the building across the way. I hear cars driving around the parking lot and I smell freshly cut grass. I still hear a lot of cars driving around outside and it smells like a hot day. I feel like the view from my window is very dull and not a pretty sight. I think the view should be updated and have a more natural lookout.

What I noticed the following after I drew my window view...

What I noticed after drawing my window view was that there are many parking spots outside my window. I also noticed that there were many streetlamps lit up in the furthest parking lot from my window. What I see outside my window now is a bunch of apartment buildings and cars.

What I noticed that I was not aware of after I drew my -point perspective of my cement model was that the model has mainly sharp edges and lines e cept for the two main curved walls. The cement model is very simple and has clean edges.

There are also many places for value in the drawing that I didn’t think would be there before.

Work #7. Outdoor Sketch

Outdoor Sketch During this assignment I was originally feeling excited to see the landscape which we were going to be drawing. Immediately when I arrived, I saw a large pond and lots of open land. I could hear birds chirping and water running further aways. The smell was unpleasant in certain areas but was bearable. During my first few drawings I felt like this place was interesting and quite beautiful. I could hear water running from the dams in the pond and wildlife all around. The plants and trees around the area were thriving and appealing to look at. The entirety of the place smelt like cut grass and bat poop. By the time I was almost done with the drawings I was feeling a little irritated since it was so hot outside. I could still hear the many birds all around chirping and many different conversations happening around me about the landscape and their opinions. The longer I was in one place the unpleasant smell started to fade and I felt nose blind to it which made me feel better about being there. At one point during my drawings, I was sitting next to the little creek of water that led into the larger pond. Sitting next to this allowed me to see into the shallow water and I saw many bugs and even a few crawfish swimming inside. This made me feel excited and happy to see other wildlife thriving in this environment. Overall, this trip to cave springs was quite enjoyable. I felt many things while being there along excitement, annoyance, and curiosity.

The pond was a beautiful landscape, one I would like to visit again maybe during a different season to see the changes in wildlife and just with the landscape in general.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” From this project, I learned the importance of space that is created using different architectural elements. A single space can be turned into many when walls are added that create division. Specific direction can be applied with the use of columns and different heights and angles of walls. Overall, I learned that the position of objects is what makes a space unique and evokes certain feelings to a person.

Project #2 “Hand Drawing” From this project, I learned the importance of perspective and how that perspective affects how a viewer perceives the information being communicated. I learned the significance of color and why it is important to know how colors react with each other. In design, specific colors are paired with each other to create a unique feeling. It is a form of communication between the designer and the viewer.

Project #3 “Power of Patience” From this project, I learned patience is the most efficient way to grasp a full understanding of a piece of art. When viewing design at first glance, it is hard to truly understand the complexity within it. After applying yourself for sometimes hours at a time, it is then when you finally understand the artists intent behind the work or feel the emotions they felt while designing.

After staring at my selected artwork for three hours, I had noticed and felt so much more towards the art than I had at first.

Project #4 “Space Cube” From the project, I learned spatial awareness and how to incorporate many phases into a small space. Iteration was a common theme throughout this project since I had to repeat many process and create different versions of almost everything I made. I learned how to create a floor plan and why it is necessary to have different line weights to successfully communicate with other designers. I gained an understanding of craftsmanship and was able to visually see progression from the beginning to end.

Project #5 “First Portfolio” From this project, I got to experience the complexities of AI. Taking my own creations and having the opportunity to generate a realistic image of them showed me how AI will benefit designers in the future. AI acts as a medium to help when you don’t have a complete vision for a space, but a general idea for how you want it to look. However, without aspects of human design and creativity, our buildings and spaces will lose their sense of intended emotion.

Overall Throughout my five week journey, I have learned such a large amount of information when it comes to design. From color schemes to designing buildings with AI, design is everywhere. Not only have I learned beneficial design techniques, but I have also learned time management that allows me to develope my best quality of work within a small amount of time. I have developed a wide variety of skills that will stay with me for the rest of my career in design.

Work #3. My Window View

My Window View is other apartments and living spaces. I can also see a post office that is located across the street. I hear cars driving past and the construction that is going on nearby.

After I drew my window view I noticed all the windows that take up the walls of the apartments in front of me. I also noticed all the greenery that makes up the ground. Looking in the distance, I can see the mountains that stretch across the horizon.

My Window View is communal areas that are located on the top of the buildings and all the trees that surround the area.

The buildings are tightly packed, which gives me a sense of comfort, knowing I am surrounded by people. I can hear my roommates and all the people that are walking on the sidewalk below.

Work #5. Shaving Cream Marbling

I used different saturations and values of blues to create a meloncholy feeling, with small accents of light green to add engaging aspects.

68 826

I swirled the shaving cre in circles to make the paint look like repeated circular shapes that added pattern to the art.

69 827

I used mainly saturated blue/green color to add emphasis and dimension to the art.

70 828

In this painting, I used dark blues with accents of bright green to create contrast within the painting.

71 829

For this painting, I used less color to look more simplified, so that you could see more of the white accents in the background.

72 830

To make the painting brighter, I added hints of green and saturated blues.

73 831

I started with a new layer of shaving cream and saturated blues and greens to give a cleaner, less blended look.

74 832

To create a fuller look, I swirled the colors together to mix them and take up more of the page.

75 833

For this painting, I added more blue to put emphasis on the direction of the swirls.

76 834

In this painting, I incorporated every color from each color composition to create unity.

77 835

To keep an overall smooth, clean appearance, I marbled the plaster model with a small amount of paint. Each collumn was dipped separately to create a balanced look.

Work #6. Value in 2-point Perspective

After drawing my space cube from a two-point perspective, I noticed that this perspective gives a more realistic look to the drawing. By adding shadows, I was able to determine a specific light source and where it was shining from. Including shadows added value and contrast to the drawing to make it more engaging.

Work #7. Outdoor Sketch

Being at the Illinois River Watershed I felt at peace. The tall trees and overall green space made me feel calm and think back to my hometown. Where I am from, our summers do not consist of much green grass, so being here made me grateful for the views I got to experience. One of my favorite things was the trail that led through the woods. The tall trees that leaned over the path made it seem like a tunnel and the focal point at the end was very intriguing. Before I had walked out the other side of the path, I didn’t know what to expect and was very happy to see little waterfalls. I enjoyed listening to the peaceful sound of the water rushing out of the cave and into the pond. The clear blue water was interesting to look down into and see all the wildlife that lived inside.

Before I started drawing, I wasn’t aware of all the small details that the landscape consisted of. All I noticed at first was the water and all the trees. It wasn’t until I started drawing parts of the site that I noticed the minor aspects. By drawing, I captured many kinds of plants, and I paid a lot of attention to the smaller objects that didn’t stand out at first in the large-scale landscape. At first, I felt overwhelmed with how large the area was, but as I got more comfortable, I started to sketch small rocks and flowers that made the landscape what it is. While drawing, I also heard sounds of birds chirping, water flowing, and the rustle of leaves that would come from the plants when the wind blew. I feel like subconsciously I was incorporating those untouchable aspects into my drawings to make the sketches more emotional.

After completing all my drawings, I looked back at the progress that was made throughout each one. I noticed that as time went on and I completed more, my drawings became smaller scaled and focused on smaller areas compared to the entirety of the landscape. When I look at all my drawings side by side, I can get a feel of the emotion of the total Illinois River Watershed and I can still imagine what it was like physically being there and sitting on the ground drawing different scenes.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - Throughout the Wall, Column, Space section my understanding and knowledge of spatial awareness between different objects became much stronger. I was able to look at a human figure and notice different perceptions based on what was shown in the image.

Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - The Hand Drawing Process is one that took more quallity time as well as learning more benefical ways to achieve the look you may want. Rather than just looking at an object and attempting to sketch it, this process has helped me take a deeper look into complex images and create a better understanding.

Project #3 “Power of Patience” - The Power of Patience Project taught me it may be a longer process but in the end you see valuable stories, images, and charateristics you may have never uncovered.

Project #4 “Space Cube” - The Space Cube project was by far the most intense project these past five weeks. Between every phase of the project we were able to explore the complexties gicing deeper into our creation.

Project #5 “First Portfolio” - Through the Portfolio section we were able to explore AI options using our own projects we had created making a more realistic design.

Overall - Over these past five weeks the experience has been tough with many challanges and learning curves. I have learned more than I thought I would be capable in such a short amount of time but could not be more thanful for the oppurtunity to becomes more successful in my design career.

If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

- The process is as rewarding as you make it, time is everything, quality matters, and be creative.

Without looking at the window I have chosen I can remember it being loud at times. The view is blocked by an apartment building but off in the distance you can see the parking garage. ost movement I would see from that window would be our neighbors on there balcony across the way.

What I noticed the following after I drew my window view...

While drawing out my window I noticed that there was a lot more movement behind the apartment comple than I had originally anticipated. The building itself also had a different design than most which I had never realized. y Window iew is...

When looking out my window I am faced with another apartment building that holds a lot of memories of college students. I can hear groups of people talking, having a good time, cooking food, and socializing. n occasion I can smell the grilling of food that can overwhelm the room.

Work #5. Shaving Cream Marbling

This popup reminds me of a barn with crisscrossed windows and many floors throughout the structure as the bright red color as helps with the initial impression.

68 854

. This pop up has a variety of colors with the center being the focus point with taller openings as the pink and blue marble surround.

69 855

This pop up gives an opened-up bottom floor with many windows and doors allowing light in from beneath but the marbling in the top catches your eye with the wavy abstract of reds and blues.

70 856

This popup is long with many arched openings on one floor which seems to be plainer but as you look up the blue within the marbling looks almost like the sky.

71 857

In the pop up I chose one of my lighter colored shaving cream marbling papers since the pop up had very few openings and less movement within the background created a soft scene.

72 858

. The pop up was combined with different tones of blue looking almost like waves then paired with beautiful arches within the popup giving it an overall calming feel.

73 859

The pop up had many voids creating stunning light within the piece paired with clusters of pink, red, and blue.

74 860

With smaller openings towards the top I wanted to make sure that the marbled paper was very busy with lots of dark blue and red.

75 861

. This pop up had an all-blue toned marbled paper with a more open space allowing light in and giving contrast with the different blue tones throughout.

76 862

. In the pop up the marble paper I used was very busy with lots of clusters of red and blue with very intense window openings which allowed outside light to shine within the building and contrast it.

77 863

78 864

. I chose one of my color compositions that had two light and dark shades of blue and red. To the model I chose to add contrast with the stairs and walls, making the stair risers a darker blue and the tread a light pink giving a more in depth feel.

Work #6. Value in 2-point Perspective

What you noticed that you were not aware of previously after drawing the point perspective...

While drawing my space cube in two-point perspective I noticed certain differences within the cube I hadn’t previously noticed. ooking directly at the sides I was drawing looking deeper within the space cube caught my eye as certain walls, stairs, and columns could be seen within different angles.

Work #7. Outdoor Sketch

Writing what you feel (see, smell, hear, etc.) before, during, and following your drawing completion...

Before: The sun is bright with many clouds in the sky, as we approach closer to the landscape location it becomes warm. Looking into the pond you can see algae and the reflection of the sky within it as the scenery seems to extend out forever.

During: While drawing many outdoor sketches I begin to notice more detail within the landscape than I had noticed previously. Often you can smell the pond water and flowers nearby as the sun gets hotter on your skin.

After: As the day gets hotter and the wind dies down you can hear the birds chirping. After spending hours at the landscape I ended up noticing the geese that had began swimming in the water and the many insects that swarmed around. Everything seemed so peacful and my apprecation for the land grew greatly

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - I learned the basics of walls, columns, and space. I realized that patience is key to achieving a good outcome. Understanding these elements takes time and effort, but the results are worth it. With patience, one can create more accurate and aesthetically pleasing designs. Walls define and enclose spaces, columns provide structural support, and space encompasses the layout and flow of areas within a structure.

Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - I now understand the value of perspective in design, which gives designs more depth and real life. It is essential to understand spatial relationships and proportions. I’ve also studied color’s tone and value, which are described as intensity and lightness or darkness, respectively. These elements improve visual appeal and contrast, which makes designs appealing.

Project #3 “Power of Patience” - In the arts, patience is a powerful tool. Artists can completely explore details and develop methods with its help. Understanding art requires time since it gives one the chance to observe, think about it, and learn. The creative process is richer and more fulfilling when one is patient and produces more deliberate, meaningful works.

Project #4 “Space Cube” - I’ve learned a lot about scale and the value of sketching in order to communicate and represent design through hand drawing. I’ve gained the ability to precisely represent measurements and proportions via the process, which is essential for producing designs that are both accurate and useful. In the end, hand drawing has increased my admire for design as an art form and the accuracy needed to realize ideas.

Project #5 “First Portfolio” - My approach to design has been expanded with the introduction of the Ai generation. This improved my ability to be able to see my photographs transformed into a realistic image and my drawings come to life. This not only helped me be able to personally visual my creations but to also communicate my work to peers and professors. Learning about ai technology was interesting and eye opening. It was an easy and entertaining experience. Because of ai, there will be much more opportunities to be able to transform and convert my design into real life.

Overall - Overall, I learned more than I thought I was capable of coming into this course. Through these projects, I learned a great amount of design architecture. One of the best things I learned was how to get into a state of flow while working and creating my designs to provide my best work.

If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

- I’d like to let you know that things will work out smoothly. Although it may seem like a lot, you are capable of much more than you may realize. Even though you might occasionally lose your patience and feel like you’re not performing well enough, everything will ultimately be incredibly rewarding. And you’ll think you’re crazy when you say that you would do it all over again.

Work #3. My Window View

My Window View is...

From my window view out of my room I feel many things. First, I can see the side of a tall apartment building that is not connected to mine, there is a row of parking spots that seem empty as most students left for home. I can see the road, guiding out in and out of the complex. As well as the sidewalk, where many people walk and chat. From my window view, I can hear the birds. I can hear the wind and breeze. I can hear loud cars passing through the parking lot. From my window view I can smell the bushes that are right below my window once I open it.

What I noticed the following after I drew my window view...

After drawing my window view, there were some things I did not notice before. One of the biggest things was the sidewalk. I have never paid much attention to the shape and color of the sidewalk. Before my window view, I never put much thought into how I am at the bottom of the hill. I noticed this while driving but while looking out my window view, it was interesting to see how much higher some of the apartments are above me.

In this plaster model, it is painted with three different colors that represent my sadness emotion. It is very dark green on the outside of the walls, a lighter tone of dark green on the inside of the walls, and a dark blue on the surfaces. These colors differ from one another to show dimensions and value. I feel as if the difference in colors help represent the model through color and allow my emotion to be seen through art.

Work #6. Value in 2-point Perspective

While drawing my two-point perspective, I noticed a variety of things that got brought to my attention. One major idea that was brought to my attention after creating my drawing was the dimension. This being one of the major qualities of a 3d model, it is interesting to create it on paper. I added value to my drawing by using squares and shades. This allowed me to represent the size to create dimension to communicate with the viewers. While some of my surfaces are tall and skinny, the others are smaller but take up more room in the space. There is also areas where you cannot see all the surfaces depending on the perspective you chose to view it.

Work #7. Outdoor Sketch

I experienced a deep sense of peace and calmness as I sat by the reflecting lake with the sun beaming down on me at a hot ninety degrees. While it was indeed warm, the calmness of the moment appeared to be enhanced by it. As I focused on capturing the calm beauty surrounding me, it was easy creating the moment on paper. The shimmering reflections created by the sunshine bouncing on the lake’s surface were so brilliant that they appeared to move in sync with the light wind. The sounds of nature were complemented by a quiet, calming waterfall at one end of the lake, whose constant flow served as a constant reminder of life’s constant motion.

Warm soil and fresh water mixed to create a heady mixture that was both stimulating and relaxing. My peers scattered across the space, some engaged in thought while others conversed quietly and laughed in tune with the sounds of the surrounding environment. The sound of leaves rustling created a calming background sound that was sometimes broken up by birds tweeting. The trees provided frequent areas of shade. Through the branches, I could hear the wind’s calm noise, which served as a reminder of nature’s rhythm of life. The occasional airy cloud drifting slowly only served to highlight the sky’s wide broadness.

In addition to trying to illustrate the physical elements of the scene, I also wanted to capture its essence through my sketches, trying to show the day’s lively energy. My pencil flowed almost by itself, translating the picture in front of me into lines and shadings, each one capturing the feelings and sensations of the moment. A deep sense of calm and connectedness to my environment filled me, and it only grew stronger as the hours went by, and my sketches continued to take shape.

Work #3. My Window View

Today’s task was to create a pen drawing of the view from my bedroom window. The use of a pen presented a challenge due to its non-erasable nature, leading to a few mistakes that I attempted to rectify to the best of my ability.

The window overlooks my neighbor’s spacious backyard. It offers a wide, open view and fills my room with natural light when opened. I appreciate the daily infusion of natural light and the pleasant scenery. I can hear the sound of my neighbors’ children playing in the backyard along with their dog barking. The view includes two large trees.

Upon completing the drawing, I discovered overlooked details, such as a stop sign visible from my window, and a small vent on the right side of my neighbor’s house. Despite residing here for many years, I had overlooked these minute elements until now.

Gazing out of my bedroom window brings a sense of relaxation. Opening the window allows the sounds of birds chirping and cars passing to filter in, creating a serene atmosphere in my tranquil neighborhood. Overall, the view from my window provides a soothing experience, attributed to the natural light and the verdant scenery.

Work #5. Shaving Cream Marbling

Your Intention writing #1. First try on a shaving cream marbling sheet. I applied lots of shaving cream and splattered paint on top. Swirled it in many directions. Tried to get a good understanding of how paint gets applied on the sheet to create a marbling effect. #2. On my second try, I looked back at the previous sheet to see what changes I could do. I thought I could swirl it more, but not add more paint.

68 910

Your Intention writing #3. Third try, I splattered more purple, because it’s the darkest color showing the most. #4. The previous sheet isn’t showing a lot of marbling, so I added more shaving cream as well as more paint.

69 911

Your Intention writing #5. Last try worked really well, and I still had a good amount of material on my tray. I swirled it more and compressed the paper down more. #6. I wanted to do one more of the first set of colors, and added more pink. Wanted a more pink than purple compared to the last 5 sheets made.

70 912

Your Intention writing #7. New set of colors on my seventh sheet. I added a clean shaving cream and applied way more paint wanting it to show more marble. #8. Last one came out good, and I used the same material and swirled it again.

71 913

Your Intention writing #9. I got the hang of how shaving cream marbling works and continued adding more paint to the shaving cream plus swirling. #10. I didn’t add color or swirl it, I tried to just compress paper above the material to see if it can look the same from the previous sheet.

72 914

Your Intention writing #11. Started to like the combination of colors, and wanted to keep making more until I liked one the best. Kept the same concept of splattering the four colors and swirl. #12. I was running out of shaving cream and tried to make another sheet with the little amount of material left, and the swirl did not appear good.

73 915

Your Intention writing #13. I added just a bit of shaving cream I had left in one can and more paint. #14. Another set of new colors, and this one came out really good the first try. I only swirled the middle and not the side, keeping the dots in place.

74 916

Your Intention writing #15. I swirled the entire tray more, and colors seemed to mix causing a lighter color effect. #16. Added a bit more of the darker paint so the light color effect goes away.

75 917

Your Intention writing #17. Swirled less and wanted to keep a “paint splatter” to this sheet. #18. I didn’t add more shaving cream or paint, I wanted to save more shaving cream for the last two sheets. I wanted to swirl it more and bring the paint that was at the bottom to the top.

76 918

Your Intention writing #19. I wanted to make really good marbling sheets for my last two, and added more shaving cream with more paint. Also keeping a splatter effect to the sheet. #20. I added the rest of the paint I had left over from my 3rd set and it made it appear darker. It also became my best out of the 20 sets. With more paint, it makes the marbling effect appear way better.

Work #6. Value in 2-point Perspective

What you noticed that you were not aware of previously after drawing the point perspective...

As I stood in front of my cement model, deciding which angle to draw, I was particularly drawn to the view from the stairs.

This angle showed off the curves of my walls in great detail, which I really liked. When I started sketching, I began by outlining the basic shape of the model. I focused on getting the overall outline right before adding in the smaller details. After I nished my drawing in two-point perspective, I noticed something surprising there were chips and cracks in some of the cement pieces. These imperfections weren’t obvious at rst but added a kind of rough, authentic te ture to my drawing. I decided to include them because they showed the real character of the cement model. I also realized how thick the floor was when I saw a hole or gap in it. This gave me a new perspective on the structure of the model, showing me details that I hadn’t noticed before. verall, drawing the cement model was about more than just getting its shape right. It was about discovering its uni ue features and bringing them to life in my drawing. It showed me how important it is to pay attention to the small details and how they can change your perspective on something.

Writing what you feel (see, smell, hear, etc.) before, during, and following your drawing completion...

Arriving at the Illinois River Watershed, I looked around and saw a lot of trees, flowers, a guy fishing, a shed, a waterfall, and, of course, the river. It was really hot, and my skin started to feel burned. I could hear the water flowing in the river.

Before I started drawing, I imagined most of my drawings would be of plants.

As I started drawing, I decided to focus on the most important thing—the river. I watched it flow, and at one point, some ducks flew by and took a swim. The sun was really hot, but sometimes clouds would cover it and give me a break from the heat. I noticed there were a lot of plants that shouldn’t be there while I was drawing. There was even a spider crawling in my bag, so I had to move to a different spot.

After I finished drawing, I could really picture the place in my mind. Doing this drawing exercise made me realize more about this place. If you look closely, you can find details that you didn’t notice at first. At that point, I still felt hot and itchy from sitting in the grass.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - I learned that lighting and shadows can completely tranform a space. I also learned that surfaces are just a building block in a space.

Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - I learned about my own capabilities as an artist. I found many ways to shade and create shadows. I also learned how different points of view can transform your view of a space.

Project #3 “Power of Patience” - I learned that being patient will reveal rewards the longer you are patient. As we watched our assigned painting for hours, I began to see more than I could’ve even imagined. I saw technique, storytelling, ideation, and representation.

Project #4 “Space Cube” - THe Space Cube project showed me that iteration and revisions will allow you to perform your best work. The craftsmanship and creativity will reveal itself along the way.

Project #5 “First Portfolio” - I learned that my craftsmanship is extremely important in showing my work. ANother important aspect of showing off your work is the photography. You work must have proper lighting and documentation in order to best present your work.

Overall If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

- If I could talk to myself before these five weeks, I would tell myself that it is going to be the most intense five weeks you’ve ever experienced. However, the pride that you will carry yourself with after all of your hard work is a feeling like no other.

You will be able to look back at your work and feel so much gradification because of the time and effort you have put in.

My WIndow view is a view of my neighbors’ houses across the street. My house is directly between their homes, across the street, allowing me to see a straight view of both.

What I noticed the following after I drew my window view...

After drawing my window view, I noticed that the houses are very similar in size, however the style of architecture is vastly different, even though we live in a subdivision. I also noticed that I am very interested in drawing in a 2-point perspective.

I like being able to see the front and side of each object that I am drawing.

Work #5. Shaving Cream Marbling

My intention with this sheet was to use a mixture of the stark white color of the shaving cream and the rich, cool colors to create an abstract pattern. This makes me feel mellow and calm because of the organic shapes.

68 938

My intention for this sheet was to have a less intense piece of art that highlighted movement. Rather than mixing in the paint, I allowed it to look dotted and have more saturated spots.

69 939

My intention here was to create circular patterns, rather than vertical and horizontal patterns like the other pieces.

70 940

My intention with this sheet was to once again use spots and smaller dots of highly saturated colors to create a pattern.

71 941

My intention here was to make the page look like it was being melted. I made abstract shapes and patterns when mixing the shaving cream and the paint, which I feel really helped accomplish my idea.

72 942

Here, I introduced darker tones which gave the sheet many points of interest, as the dark colors contrasted with the rest of the piece.

73 943

Here, I wanted to include less white within the painting. This is one of my favorites because the colors began to mix, creating this beautiful blue color with touches of green showing through.

74 944

In this piece, I wanted the colors to be less saturated and be more calming. I used a smalelr amount of paint and mixed it with the shaving cream to create more of a pastel pallete.

75 945

In this piece, I wanted to experiment with the contrast of using a pattern in my shaving cream verses not using a pattern. I found that the pattern made the space look more chaotic while the non-patterned area looked more calming.

76 946

Here, I used very intense colors to create a busy pattern that was interesting to the viewer. I like the different shades of blue and green that show up throughout the painting.

77 947

78 948

Here, I used the shaving cream method and dipped my casting model into the shaving cream, allowing the patterns to be left behind on the plaster.

Work #6. Value in 2-point Perspective

What you noticed that you were not aware of previously after drawing the 2 point perspective...\ ONe things that I noticed about drawign the 2 point perspective were the shadows. Without the shadows, the drawing just looked bery bland and flat. The shawdowing adds dimension and interest to the drawing.

Work #7. Outdoor Sketch

Writing what you feel (see, smell, hear, etc.) before, during, and following your drawing completion...

During the drawing, I kept hearing birds and water. However, I was seeing dark colors and bold greenery. I wanted to mesh these to elements together to create something that was visually chaotic, yet soft and light.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - I learned how to take one point perspective pictures, the importance of using the correct materials and how forms affect space. This project also taught me how to cut foam correctly.

Project #2 “Hand Drawing” -This project taught me how to draw in different views, hand-eye coordination, and how to have intention behind color.

Project #3 “Power of Patience” - This assignment opened my eyes to the beauty of art and art analysis. It taught me that everyone perceives things differently and we cannot always influence what others see. Overall, it taught me that patience is a powerful tool in starting the process to understand art and design.

Project #4 “Space Cube” - From this project, I learned how to consider form and volume to maximize the space’s use. It also honed my cutting skills to the point where I can tell when to stop and what angle to position my knife to get the cleanest cut.

Project #5 “First Portfolio” - This project taught me the importance of having well written and clear descriptions that accompany my work. I learned the importance of iteration and that it is okay to go back and fix previous designs to the point where I am proud of it.

Overall - I learned many foundational concepts – such as how to draw in perspectives views, how to compose professional pin-ups, how to cut through foam cleanly and precisely, how color affects space, the importance of volume and form, and how powerful AI and other technological tools are, and will be, incorporated in design. I learned how to get in the zone and focus on the task at hand, how to manage my time, and how to ask for help when I do not fully understand a concept.

If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

- It is ok to be creative and venture off into ideas and concepts that you have not done before. Do not play it safe. It might mean more work, but the end results will be worth it. You are going to go through some tough times mentaly and even physically; however, it looks like this is what you were supposed to do. You have made friendships, you pulled an all-nighter, and you have learned so many new things. You will get through this.

Work #3 . M y Wi n dow V i ew

y Window iew is...

I feel the soft blue bean bag underneath me as i sit and look out my window, I feel the air conditioner above me, and I feel the sun on my face as it shines through the window. I see other houses as new streets start, grass, a street sign, cars, and the sun. I probably smell whatever food my mom is cooking in the kitchen and the candle that is burning in my room. astly, I can probably hear my sister talking to her friends ne t door.

What I noticed the following after I drew my window view...

I noticed that there were multiple electrical bo es scattered around my yard as well as other people’s yards. I noticed a storm drain in front of my neighbor’s house.

y Window iew is...

I felt the sun on my face and the carpeted ground as I sat on it to be able to get a one-point perspective drawing. I saw my neighbors house more prominently as well as their two cars and garage door. I saw electrical bo es, a drain, a streetlight, clouds, a yellow re hydrant, a plant, grass, and some clouds. I smelled the barbecue that my dad grilled, and the house was uiet.

The marbled colors in this picture are mostly a blue-green color and orange, with accents of red. The pattern is well balanced, and the walls have big, marbled patterns on them. It makes the space appear messy and many people do not like messes. It will make some people angry.

76 1002

The marbled colors are dark red, red, blue green and black. There are some prominent paint drips that create a sense of craziness. It makes the space appear dark and vexing. Someone in this space would probably feel irritated.

Work #6. Value in 2-point Perspective

What you noticed that you were not aware of previously after drawing the 2 point perspective...

Something that I noticed doing this drawing was how hard it is to draw diagonal lines. The vertical and the horizontal lines have a specific point they go to; however, I could not figure out where the diagonal lines would vanish to. I also had to watch multiple tutorials on how to get the perspective correct. In the end, I am proud of my drawing, and I think it turned out well.

Work #7. Outdoor Sketch

Being at the site today made me feel many things due to the weather, the environment, and the landscape of the site. Because of the weather conditions, I had a hard time breathing normally. It was excessively hot and humid making it hard to take a deep breath. I could feel the sweat dripping down my face, how the air stuck to my skin, and how the sun shined on me. The environment made me feel, at times, scared due to the critters I encountered, hugged as I was enveloped in trees, and calm as I listened and looked out at the water. The landscape of the site made me relieved to finally change the scenery of my “normal” summer routine nowadays and as if I was in a familiar place.

By using my five senses, I noticed many things. Firstly, some things I heard were birds chirping, the sound of the waterfall crashing down on the pond, and the gusts of wind. A couple of things I tasted on site were the ice-cold water from my water bottle, very refreshing, and the flavor of the snack I had. Some things I touched were the grass, the ground, my charcoal sticks, twigs, and leaves. Lastly, some things I saw were many trees and different kinds of leaves, flowers, a waterfall, a house under construction, a piece fruit on the floor, a man fishing, and four different kinds of spiders.

Being at the site today brough up some memories in me. The first memory was induced when I encountered the first spider. Every single time I see a spider, I immediately remember the one time I saw a huge spider that was blue and had a yellow dash on its back when I lived in Mexico. I was young and my mother had asked me to retrieve her keys so that we could go out. When I went to check on the counter, I saw the spider right next to the keys and I screamed very loudly. That was a crazy experience I’ll never forget and how my fear of spiders came about. The second memory summoned by being on site was the times I have been to the lake with my family and friends. Seeing a body of water like that always makes me reminisce on the good times I have had near water. The site also looks like a little creek I went to when I lived in Idaho.

y Window iew is... rom my window, I have a clear view of a neighboring house framed by a wooden fence. The foreground is covered by a lush, grassy backyard with several trees on either side of the fence. ne tree stands in my yard, while another rises just behind the fence near the neighbor’s house. In the corner where the two sides of the fence converge, a bush nestles, creating a nook.

What I noticed the following after I drew my window view...

After drawing the perspective from my window, I noticed that the back deck of my neighbor’s home created a bridge connecting the two halves of the home. I also noticed how the tree branches near the neighbor’s house form a canopy that connects our spaces. y drawing also brought my attention to how the telephone poles scattered across the yards create the sense of a subtle network of unseen connections. Additionally, I noticed how the bush in the corner where the two sides of the fence converge brings forth contrast against the wooden backdrop. The faint rustle of leaves and the occasional chirp of birds also helped make my time spent gazing out the window a soothing activity.

y Window iew is...

With its combination of nature’s elements and the uiet presence of human structures, this view creates a sense of balance that brings me feelings of calmness and contentment.

Work #5. Shaving Cream Marbling

For my first marble painting, I lightly dotted my shaving foam tray with my composition’s three original color values.

During my second painting, the amount of paint involved remained the same; I only stirred the mixture of shaving foam more.

1022

59

While creating my third painting, I added more shaving foam to the previous mixture to introduce more white in the final product.

I thoroughly mixed the paint into the shaving foam during my fourth painting to lighten the value of the colors incorporated.

60

1023

In my fifth painting, I increased the purple paint incorporated in my mixture in different areas on my shaving foam tray.

For my sixth painting, I again avoided adding more paint and instead continued to stir the previous contents.

1024

61

I used more green paint in my mixture for my seventh painting to have it be the most prominent color exposed.

For my eighth painting, I removed the entirety of the mixture I had used beforehand and only incorporated my green and purple paint into the fresh shaving foam.

62

1025

During my ninth painting, I added a significant amount of green paint to my mixture and lightly stirred the contents of my tray.

I continued to stir my mixture for my tenth painting before adding more shaving foam and purple paint at various spots.

1026

63

For my eleventh painting, I cleared the contents of my previous mixture, started with fresh shaving foam, and decided to include only my purple and grey paint.

I did the same for my twelfth painting, only now mainly using green paint in my mixture while stirring the contents more thoroughly.

64

1027

In my thirteenth painting, I kept my mixture the same as before but continued stirring to make its appearance lighter than previously.

I used more grey paint in my mixture during my fourteenth painting and continued to stir its contents.

1028

65

During my fifteenth painting, I kept my mixture from before and lightly stirred more purple paint into my mixture’s contents.

In my sixteenth painting, I continued to stir my mixture contents before adding more grey paint and stirring any further.

66

1029

I started with clean shaving foam for my seventeenth painting and lightly incorporated green and purple paint into my mixture.

I added a generous amount of green paint to my previous mixture during my eighteenth painting and stirred thoroughly.

1030

67

In my nineteenth painting, I started with clean shaving foam and included mainly green paint with hints of grey in my mixture’s contents.

For my last painting, I stirred my previous mixture significantly before adding a generous amount of purple paint and remixing it.

The combination of hues and patterns infused my structure with dynamic energy, producing a sense of excitement and vibrancy. The stairs, now my model’s most richly saturated section, dramatically heightened its overall impression of elevation and importance. The intense coloration made them a focal point, drawing the eye and emphasizing the architectural prominence of the steps within the composition. Each wave of color seemed thoughtfully placed yet retained an organic fluidity that added to the overall aesthetic appeal. Incorporating color and form enhanced the model’s visual interest and instilled a more profound sense of intentionality and expression in my model.

Work #6. Value in 2-point Perspective

The area I chose to draw at Crystal Bridges was inspired by my previous experience with Stanton Macdonald Wright’s “Synchromy.” This painting captivated me with its dynamic forms and vibrant colors. For my drawing, I selected a view featuring Harriet Whitney Frishmuth’s sculpture, “The Bubble,” which I found particularly compelling. This choice was driven by the intriguing ways both artworks engage with themes of fluidity, human form, and interpretative depth.

In “Synchromy,” Macdonald Wright explores fluidity through many colors and shapes that seem to come alive. This continuous motion and the varying interpretations it invites are central to the piece. Similarly, “The Bubble” exudes a sense of grace and movement. The figure’s pose, delicately balanced as she interacts with a glowing orb, captures a moment of poised elegance that resonates with the flow found in “Synchromy.”

Both pieces also share a strong emphasis on contrast. “Synchromy” employs a broad spectrum of colors to create a vibrant interplay, each hue enhancing the others and adding to the overall dynamism of the painting. In “The Bubble,” the contrast is more stark and immediate. The figure’s dark, almost black body against the bright, luminescent orb creates a striking visual tension. This contrast not only defines the form but also invites further interpretation of the relationship between light and dark, simplicity and complexity.

Another commonality between the two works is their portrayal of the human form. Although “Synchromy” leans towards abstraction, its shapes often suggest human figures and emotions. The human element is more literal in “The Bubble,” yet the simplicity of its form allows for different potential meanings. The glowing orb adds an element of mystery and symbolism, perhaps representing balance or the nature of life itself. The interplay of form and interpretation mirrors how “Synchromy” can be perceived and understood.

Both pieces also possess a notable shiny appearance. The oil pastels used in “Synchromy” give the painting a glossy quality, enhancing its colors’ vibrancy and depth. This sheen creates a sense of movement, as if the colors constantly shift.

In “The Bubble,” the polished surface of the sculpture reflects light, giving the figure an ethereal glow. This shiny finish complements the glowing orb she holds, adding to the visual appeal and emphasizing its themes of light and balance.

Work #7. Outdoor Sketch

At Cave Springs, I completed twenty outdoor sketches, capturing various views of this beautiful location. The day was mostly clear, with little to no breeze, and the sun was shining brightly, making it quite hot. Upon arrival, I quickly became aware of the lovely sounds of nature - birds chirping and, in some areas, the gentle flow of water—the air containing earthy smells and hints of marine life.

For most of my sketches, I stayed near the main entrance and the trail entrance closest to the open pond. Occasionally, I explored the paths of several other entrances, finding serene spots to sit and draw. There was ample light filtering through the canopy of trees, enhancing the scene’s beauty. In all directions, there were continuous rustling sounds of leaves and branches and the songs of birds nestled in the trees.

As I sketched, I noticed various types of flowers dotting my path, adding splashes of color to my journey. The rich natural surroundings deepened my understanding of contrast and movement in the outdoors and inspired new approaches to outdoor sketching.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - During our first project, I learned a lot about how the environment we are in can affect your emotions. We were asked to create 59 categories of different environments and reflect on how that environment affects our emotion. I think the big take away I got from this project was to create a space that has some sort of emotion behind it because then you are creating a space with a purpose.

Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - Our second project was hand drawing and I am not the best at drawing so I was a little nervous about how my final product would look. Over the last 5 weeks I think my craftsmanship grew a lot and I was slowly starting to learn the basics of how to draw. I still think there is a lot of room for improvement but I learned a lot and have confidence that my drawings will continue to get better with practice.

Project #3 “Power of Patience” - Power of Patients was our third project and I think this project really opened my eyes. Instead of thinking you know everything about the painting just from a first glance, I learned that you must spend time to get a deep understanding of why the artist painted what he did. I think I can relate this project to everyday life. Instead of judging someone or something by the cover, you must take time to learn the facts and not assume.

Project #4 “Space Cube” - During our fourth project, I felt that there were many aspects that I learned throughout the whole process. I learned more about how a space can affect your emotion, I learned that failure is okay and you can keep trying until you are satisfied with the final product, and I also learned a lot about making sure we use the correct scale throughout our work. I think I grew a lot during this project and understood what we need to do as designers to represent our work.

Project #5 “First Portfolio” - Our fifth and final project was working with an AI image generator, during this process I learned many ways you can transform your image into a fantasy place. Through this process I learned new technology and what AI can do to my work with just a few clicks on my computer. I think the AI generator is another great way to represent your work.

Overall - Overall, these past 5 weeks have had a lot of ups and downs. There was not a second of my day that I was thinking about the studio and what else I needed to complete. I figured out how to manage my time and learned how to work fast and efficiently. I made a lot of friends and felt that I became close with my instructors which helped me through the 5 weeks. I am extremely proud of myself that I completed everything to the best of my ability and can’t wait to look back on this portfolio in a couple of years and reminisce on where everything started.

If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

- If I could talk to myself before the 5 weeks started, I would tell myself to try and stay calm and not overthink or stress. At times, there can be a lot of work but there is no reason to overthink and be negative. I also would want to tell myself not to complain as much as I did because that was not a good mindset, I need to keep a positive mindset and think about how cool my project will look at the end of the day. I would also want to say that you are a strong woman and you can do anything you put your mind to.

y Window iew is... y bedroom window has a very uni ue view based on what I can remember. There is a pool on the right side of my view with a parking lot in front of it. n the left side of my view there are more apartments. y view makes me feel pretty happy and reminds me of a fun day at the pool. It smells like a pool and tastes like sandwiches. I hear music and cars driving by.

What I noticed the following after I drew my window view...

After I was done drawing, I noticed that there wasn’t as much of the pool in my view. I thought half of my view was the pool and the other half was the apartments, but it was mainly just the view of other apartments. There are also some cool trees in front of some apartments a little further back. I also noticed that the top half of my window is just the sky and I think it’s really cool to be able to see that much of the sky instead of just looking at an apartment. y Window iew is...

After I was done with my drawing and looking out my window for a long period of time, I still feel that I have a very uni ue view. I still think of summer and a nice day outside because of the pool. I also like the two trees because it gives me some nature to enjoy. The apartment across from my window has a bunch of different te tures and I thought that was interesting. verall, I am very happy when I open my blinds and see my view.

Work #5. Shaving Cream Marbling

For my first pop up card I chose a marbling paper that had a lot of colors and swirls so that the light could shine through the opening of the cutouts and give the scene a bright colorful effect.

68 1050

In my second pop up card I chose a marbling paper that had less color. The card has a bunch of openings for the light to shine through and gives the scene a soft effect.

69 1051

My third pop up card I chose a marbling paper that had some color and a lot of swirls because there were a bunch of windows in this pop up and I wanted to create a light effect for my scene.

70 1052

For my next pop up card I chose a marbling paper that had more color with a lot of swirls. This card has a bunch of openings so I wanted to pick a fun marbling that would elevate my scene in a positive way. I think the light shining through gives the interior a vibrant space.

71 1053

For my fifth pop up card I chose a marbling paper that had darker color because the cutouts on the pop up card had a deeper fold and I thought that this effect looked dark and creepy which fit the vibe of the interior space.

72 1054

My sixth pop up card I chose a marbling card that was almost completely full of color because there were many different cutouts on this card. I thought the different colors gave the different layers a really cool effect for this scene.

73 1055

For my seventh pop up card I chose a marbling card that had a lot of color because there were a lot of cutouts. The lighting from the back of the card made the colors appear lighter towards the back of the pop up and become darker as you look at the closer walls.

74 1056

My eighth pop up card I chose a marbling paper that had a lot of different colors and swirls because I felt like this card didn’t have as many cutouts so I wanted the design on the walls to grab people’s attention.

75 1057

For my ninth pop up card I chose a marbling paper that had a bunch of different colors and was completely filled with swirls. The design for the cutouts had a bunch of windows and I thought the swirls would give the windows a fun scene.

76 1058

For my tenth pop up card I chose a marbling paper that had a lot of colors, but these colors were darker and had a variety of swirls. The cutout had a bunch of tiny cuts and I thought the dark colors would create a dark and muted scene.

77 1059

78 1060

Adding the marbling to my plaster model made my model more vibrant. At first my mold was just kind of bland and boring. When I added the marbling my space became a space that I wanted to go to and thought would be an interesting experience to walk through.

Work #6. Value in 2-point Perspective

While I was drawing my 2 point perspective, I didn’t notice a ton of new things.

The last thing I noticed was that the doorways on the first and second floor line up perfectly too.

Work #7. Outdoor Sketch

Before we got to the Illinois River Watershed Park, I was excited and was ready to have a break from the studio room. I didn’t really know what to expect since I’ve never been to this park but I was still really interested in exploring a new area and learning more ways to draw how you feel. I was expecting to smell fresh nature, hear the water running, and see a lot of greenery.

While I was at the Illinois River Watershed Park, I was pleasantly surprised how nice and well cared for all of nature was.

It was a beautiful day outside but also really hot. The sun beating down on me while trying to draw was a little frustrating but I pushed through and I think my drawings turned out great. I felt a lot of bugs, I smelt the fungus from the river, I saw some swans and a lot of trees, and I heard the water and my classmates chattering to each other. I was feeling a little overwhelmed with all of the drawings we had to do but once Karl explained the instructions and told the class that the sketches don’t have to be perfect that made me feel a lot better. I had a lot of freedom with this project and I am thankful I got to express whatever I wanted and wasn’t told to do something specific. Overall, I thought this field trip was fun and I definitely learned more about landscape and a new way to express my feelings and emotions through art.

Afterwards, I was proud of my work and felt like I did the best I could do. I came away with a lot more knowledge about landscape, especially hearing Annie come and tell us about all of the details within the park.

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space”

What I learned...

- With this being the introductory project of the semester - and also my first architectural project ever - it laid the foundation perfectly for what I would need to know moving forward. With limited supplies, I was able to create scenes in which you could visibly see and feel how elements impacted the overall mood of the scene/space. Stripping the elements to their barest state allowed me to fundamentally understand the characteristics and offerings of each of them.

Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - Drawing in general has never come very intuitive to me, so I was unsure how I would perform in the more artistic aspects of this semester.

However, the projects were structured in a way that allowed me to build off the basic skills I did know to create a dynamic and interesting outcome. Likewise, perfection was not the end goal - clarity and concept was - so the pressure of creating the best, most pristine piece of art faded away overtime. I really enjoyed this project because it took me out of my comfort zone and pushed me to continue striving to improve techniques, try new materials, and have fun with it.

Project #3 “Power of Patience” - It was exactly what it sounds like, the power of patience. Looking back, this was one of my favorite days overall because I have never sat and admired a painting for such an extended amount of time before. After three hours, I had discovered two and half pages worth of new details within one 36” x 22” painting, which I had thought would be impossible beforehand. Since this project, I have found myself viewing every single piece of art or design I encounter with a new mindset of “why?“.

Project #4 “Space Cube” - This project will forever have a special place in my heart - my first architectural models. Overall, it taught me the power of iteration. Every model I produced - from the original sequence model, to space cubes 1, 2, and 3 - I truly believed couldn’t get any better than the last one, but they did. Yes, in smaller and more subliminal ways each time, but in ways that impact the overall space much more than you even realize.

In addition, drawing our first architectural plans of the space cube was so impactful in my process of bringing 3D to 2D because I had a physical object to model and look at from every angle to guide me along the way.

Project #5 “First Portfolio” - For four weeks prior, everything I had created was done manually. So, switching to technology one, and then technology that essentially handles the design process for me, was quite a shift. I found it difficult to hand the reins over and let the machine do all the design decisions for me because I had been so particular up to this point. However, everything that I had been desiging for four weeks prior had the opportunity to come to life and become a real interior space. It was extremely eye opening in the fact that it created spaces that I would have never imagined and opened my mind to endless possibilities.

Overall - Honestly, I doubted every single assignment that was given to us and the intention behind it, but they always proved important and critical to my design journey. Design school is unlike any other institution in the fact that they aren’t teaching you right versus wrong, they’re teaching you how to form your own mindset. To flip everything you know upside down and view it from a position of curiosity, not blind assumption.

That’s what I gained overall this semester, literally a new view on life itself.

If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

- You definitely didn’t know what you signed up for. This is going to be the most physically, mentally, emotionally, and spirtually draining five weeks of your life. You are going to question everything you know about both yourself and the world around you. You are going to question whether this is even right for you. BUT, you will walk away a completely different person. A more mature and intelligent adult, an intrigued student, and a respected designer. You will prove to yourself that you can do anything you set your mind to. You will be truly proud of what you accomplished and what is to come. And by the end, you’ll know it was all worth it.

y Window iew is...

The window of my bedroom resides in my teenage-hood home, the home of my grandparents. It’s a long story about how I ended up here, but it used to be the home of my mother’s parents, their retirement home. house in the late

s after my randpa’s long detective career in

y grandparents built the

ilwaukee, WI was ending. o for me, looking out

this window, I am overwhelmed with nostalgia. isiting my grandparents on holidays or for unday dinners, I can see the gleaming lights and glimmering sparkly hristmas bows and smell the cool winter air right now. I smell the flowers and crisp air of spring as the beautiful landscaping begins to bloom in bright fluorescents. I am also brought back to speci c moments in time, playing outside on the road with chalk or learning how to skateboard or shoveling snow or hauling wood for winter res. verall, being in ella ista, this window has always felt calming to me. ature is the rst element you notice and it engulfs you immediately. ight, smell, touch, feel are all controlled by the fresh air, open sky, and sounds of birds and bugs all day, every day.

What I noticed the following after I drew my window view...

Whilst drawing my window view, I noticed how much the new houses built or being built around me have really impeded my view over the years. This house was the rst one on this street and after about just the two of them until about three years ago and now there’s about

years, one more showed up. It was

houses on my street alone. bviously I’ve

noticed them before, but it used to be just trees and grass when I looked out this window, now it’s fences and houses, and I didn’t notice the subconscious impact that had on my e perience until now.

y Window iew is...

ow, I still feel that same nostalgia kick most when I look out my window, but it feels different now, like it occurred longer ago. The best way to describe it is like my younger self and adult self colliding at this moment and new memories are pushing the old ones out. ow when I think about looking out my window, I think about my mom and I replanting the landscape or hauling in groceries from our weekly trip or taking a walk to rela at the end of the day. ocusing on the new houses whilst drawing made present me snap back to reality. When I look out my window, I hear the birds and bugs still, loud as ever. I see the sun glistening on the trees as it breaks through the dense leaves of the tall trees. I smell nature crisp, clean, and fresh as the sun sets and the night rolls in. I feel calm looking out my window and I hope it remains that way forever.

This sheet showcases the lightest four colors in the

colors with hardly any swirling.

In the rst pop-up card, the colors are super light and almost unnoticeable, but in the shadows, pops of purple emerge and draw your eye in. ecause this was the rst one (being rank loyd Wright’s design), the overall impact of the D space is not as strong as the remaining nine because of that.

61078 8

This sheet showcases the third color combination set with swirls drawn up and down the page.

In the second pop-up card, the colors are much darker and more saturated. This makes the space more visually appealing and creates a moodier vibe overall.

6 9 1079

This sheet showcases mid-tones and is the second dipping of this color set and therefore presents lighter and more swirled.

In the third pop-up card, the colors are rich and saturated being most of the darkest tones and therefore draws your eye around the to each pop of color. The chaos of the dark purples creates a dynamic and, again, moody space.

70 1080

This sheet showcases the third color combination set with swirls diagonally drawn from top left to bottom right.

The fourth pop-up card showcases more mid to light tones and has a more subtle impact on the viewer. It creates a calm and rela ed atmosphere overall.

71 1081

This sheet showcases more mid-tones and is the second dipping of a previous palette.

The fifth pop-up card displays less color overall with a handful of collections that show up throughout the card. The bursts of color draw your eye to those locations and make them feel dramatic because the rest of the card is mostly white.

72 1082

This sheet showcases the third color combination set and is swirled up, down, and diagonally from both directions.

In the si th pop-up card, the colors are on the darker end and appear strongly throughout the entire scene. ecause of this, the windows blend in with the dark pockets of color and it becomes a game of determining what is what. verall, however, the color creates a moody and inviting space.

73 1083

This sheet showcases more mid-tones and is the second dipping of a previous color set.

In the seventh pop-up card, the colors are lightly saturated and have little impact to the scene overall. It appears mostly white and the gure gets almost lost in that.

74 1084

This sheet showcases the rst color combination set and is swirled diagonally from top right to bottom left.

The eighth card presents mid and dark tones. The level of color on this card draw your eye to the three levels back but also push you to remain looking at the closest view to you. verall, the color creates a rela ing environment.

75 1085

This sheet showcases colors combined from the second and third color combination sets and is swirled both diagonal directions.

The ninth card showcases mostly dark purple tones. This card is super chaotic and presents the most color overall. It draws your eye around the entire card but the cut-outs get lost behind the color. It’s honestly hard to see anything else going on in this scene because of the amount of and intensity of the color.

This sheet showcases the third color combination set with less color overall and is swirled diagonally from top left to bottom right.

The tenth card displays mid and dark tones. The voids of windows in the card break up the intensity of the color and allow the viewer to see what is going on without taking away from the scene. The purples work together to create a moody but also calming atmosphere overall.

Before I colored the plaster model, the mistakes and flaws of the casting were very apparent and perhaps the first thing you noticed as you looked at it. After shaving cream marbling the model, the flaws faded into the background and the color became the forefront of the casting. Color added personality and character and created a story that the viewer can experience without any explanation. Although it doesn’t necessarily evoke fear – my emotion from day one – it creates a relaxing, calming, and moody space that I wasn’t expecting when I created it. Overall, the use of color enhanced the experience of the space and created a new atmosphere of interest.

Work #6. Value in 2-point Perspective

What you noticed that you were not aware of previously after drawing the point perspective...

When beginning the drawing, I had most of my struggle with guring out the logic of drawing in two-point perspective.

It wasn’t as intuitive as I thought it was going to be. After getting the base of my drawing, I started to view the model through a different lens, one of values. bviously, since we had focused on lighting and contrast in previous projects, I had noticed these traits on my model before. However, today the saturation of each contrast became more apparent to me than before. Trying to enhance shadowed versus lighted areas in the drawing is very new to me, so today I tried out a new techni ue of tiny circles. It worked very well in catching the contrast of values so prevalent in the nooks and crannies of our models. enerally, there was nothing “new” I noticed about the model because we have been using it for so many of our projects these past weeks, but the intenseness of the shadows stuck out to me today.

Writing what you feel (see, smell, hear, etc.) before, during, and following your drawing completion...

Visiting the site today, I was honestly unsure of what to expect. I was disappointed at first, but it became magical once I discovered you could go further back. Overall, the site was overwhelmingly calming. The sound of the water rushing from the cave eventually became a white noise and added to my overall experience. Being able to put your feet in the grass, see the sun reflecting off the water and through the trees, or even just feeling the sun on your skin – even though it was hot – kept bringing me deeper into the landscape. I started noticing elements that have otherwise been rudimentary to my prior nature knowledge and how those singular elements add to the overall scene and therefore the feeling you experience whilst in it.

Whilst on the site, it felt as though all my senses were heightened. I’m not sure if that’s because nature generally soothes humans, but I could feel, see, hear, smell all the elements the landscape was offering, and it encapsulated me. Overall, again, I felt an overwhelming sense of calmness and happiness. It is a place of joy – whether fishing, partying, or playing – you can feel that energy there, it’s a positive and happy place. At the same time, you could genuinely sit and just watch for hours in any part of the watershed. There’s so much life surrounding you – both good and bad – that you can see and hear at all times.

As you grow up, you seem to spend less time outside because you don’t prioritize it like you used to when you were a kid.

So, spending a lot of time outside always brings me back to my childhood in some form. I thought a lot today – especially in the heat – about my birthday (it’s in July and I’ve always associated summertime with my birthday). Memories of jumping around in the sprinkler and swimming for hours on end and running around barefoot in the grass with my friends.

Thinking about it now, I suppose I was connecting my childhood because that’s the last time I remember being outside without caring about the temperature or the bugs or critters crawling around or whatever else we rationalize as adults that we used to be careless of. Today, although I was still concerned about that stuff, it wasn’t my first thought. I was submerged in the positives of what was around me. And for that, enduring the heat was worth it.

Work #3. My Window View

For this project, I am using the window of my childhood bedroom. I traveled home to Tulsa, OK, this weekend for Father’s Day and decided it would have more sentimental value if I chose this window for my drawing.

Based on my memory, the window in my bedroom sounds like a lawnmower on a Saturday morning. The sound my window makes is peaceful because it reminds me of a summer morning spent with my family. On the other hand, it can also sound like a stormy night, with flashes of lightning peeking through the curtains, where I would cover my body with a blanket to protect myself. Looking at this window also causes me to smell paint, representing each time that I have grown out of my bedroom and had to repaint the walls. Just as I have grown up, so has my window view. The baby tree in my front yard is no longer small, it is now towering over my house. The tree that grew up with me now is all I can see when I look outside While drawing my window view, I learned a few things about the scene. I noticed that while the tree in my yard feels like home to my family, it has also been home to many creatures. Birds and bugs flying around it, as well as the squirrels that climb up it are just some of the creatures that benefit. The grass that once grew below is no longer able to grow because of the shade that the tree provides. From my window, I can also see my driveway, which holds memories of my brother and I riding our wiggle racers into the street and drawing with chalk on the pavement. Now the driveway’s purpose is to make room for our cars when we come home to visit our parents from college.

After observing my window view, I appreciate our big strong tree that feels like home. I have noticed that this tree is home to more than just me. I hear birds chirping, and I can feel the wind blowing as I watch the leaves sway. The leaves block me from seeing the cars that drive by. These summer leaves that block the view of the street, also give privacy and comfort.

Even though I am on the inside looking out, this window gives me a breath of fresh air.

I used the shaving cream marbling method to add color to my plaster casting model. I chose to use a wide variety of colors from my color compositions in order to create a pattern that had a lot of variety. After coloring the outside, I painted the inside of the tunnel and the floors with a dark gray. The use of dark colors made my model feel smaller on the inside, but the outside was more eye-catching. The purples stand out and are brighter than intended, but the chaotic pattern of the outside balances it out. Overall, the addition of color added a mood and personality to my casting model.

Work #6. Value in 2-point Perspective

Drawing my space cube model in a two-point perspective revealed several things. First, I noticed that a two-point perspective adds depth and elongates the dimensions, emphasizing different parts of my space cube that I normally do not focus on. Second, shading helped me highlight the areas that stood out. Lastly, I learned how to use a pen for shading, which enhanced the overall look of my drawing.

Work #7. Outdoor Sketch

While being at the Illinois River Watershed Partnership this afternoon, I was able to use all of my senses. There were a great variety of sounds such as birds chirping, leaves rustling, water running, and cars driving across the nearby road. The site felt peaceful, and it was a nice getaway from being in the studio. It reminded me of being a kid and going fishing with my brother and my dad. Seeing people come and go to utilize the site was cool. While walking through the trail, I noticed many arched trees that had a cool pathway to walk through. This reminded me of something that could be in a movie scene. While walking the trails, I noticed how high up they went, and I did not notice this elevation change from afar. The nature was so beautiful, but in the back of the trail there was an abandoned building that appeared to have a tree fallen onto it. This part of the trail made me feel a little bit uneasy. The site had a fresh smell, not one of grass or murky water, it just smelled fresh. On the downside, the bugs were crawling all over me as I tried to draw, and this caused me to be very itchy. The grass was also very pointy, and it was uncomfortable to sit on while I was drawing. I overall enjoyed my time at the Illinois River Watershed Partnership, and it taught me a new way of thinking about the environment around me. The experience allowed me to slow down and appreciate the little details that I often overlook in my busy daily life. Observing the various plants, listening to the different sounds, and feeling the textures of nature was a grounding experience. It also inspired me to incorporate more natural elements into my artwork. I also may go back to go on a walk sometime in the future!

What you noticed that you were not aware of previously after drawing the point perspective...

The main thing I noticed about my space cube that I hadn’t before doing this e ercise is the fact that from certain angles much of my space is covered up, I felt like my concept was very open and overall transparent to notice everything, but when placed in a corner, my curiosity of what lies behind the rest begins to peak.

Work #7. Outdoor Sketch

Writing what you feel (see, smell, hear, etc.) before, during, and following your drawing completion...

The site we went and checked out yesterday was a very intriguing place. Considering its location was right next to a highway, the obscure nature and overall feel of the place did not sync with its location. The place was very diverse with its wide array of plants, multiple different sections, and the cave spring running into the small lake. The site struck me with curiosity, enjoyment, and a sense of satisfaction. Up until this summer studio there has hardly been a week where I haven’t spent much of free time out in nature as it is the root of most activities I do. A question I was very curious about was where the spring from the cave derived from, and how far it went back. Cave systems are unique and can go on for miles on miles. The water flowing was very clean and the small dams maintaining the flow formed waterfalls which projected a soothing sound of water splashing and bubbling. This noise reminded me of the buffalo and a hike I went on in Erbie, Arkansas called cave cove. Other noises I was experiencing were birds chirping, and the wind rustling through the trees which once again just brought me back to all the hikes I had done back home. Mother Nature running its course throughout this beautiful site was very peaceful compared to sitting in a studio for the four weeks where we were surrounded by computer screens and white walls. The noise of cars driving by also came to mind as it is amazing how this place is right in the middle of civilization yet holds a different aura and is actually very separated from the buildings and road it sats right next to. The smells I liked were grass and flowers, and then some displeasing ones like bat poop and dead fish. Although these smells aren’t enjoyable they show the diversity of the area and how it still holds the true course of what is like living outside where there isn’t a place to dispose of dead fish, or bat poop and that simply shows how although people are maintaining this land they are letting mother nature run its course and portray all aspects of what is like to be emerged in the wilderness. A couple things I really enjoyed seeing was an old john boat sitting next to the lake, this boat has clearly not touched water in a while as everything under it and within a foot radius of it was dead, and although this boat sitting there had killed the grass it still offers shelter for bugs and snakes, and is a symbol of how the people looking over this area see it’s use and connection with the place. In nature some of the most intriguing things are dead, like trees and sections underneath certain things, but what makes these things so nice is the fact that although they are dead and unusable to us, animals and bugs find use for the nonliving and make sure to get maximum use out of every resource offered to them. A couple more questions I did not get answered are; what species of fish derive in this area? I love fishing and am very curious about what fish live within these waters as it can tell one a lot about a place. Another question I was curious about is when was this park established and for what reason? The nice thing about a nature space is it has many uses, and sometimes the goal put out for the area is not what it was intended to be as nature is so always changing.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” I learned how to recreate and assemble mulitple interior scenes that portrayed unique architectural elements. With the use of light depiction, curved angles, and structural height, these created movement through the use of images. This project created the basis for our future space cube.

Project #2 “Hand Drawing” I learned the importance of line thickness, stroke and attention to line detail. With the illustration of drawing, I understood how important of an element line can portray in my pieces. Hand drawing is an expressive portrayel without the use of physical objects.

Project #3 “Power of Patience” I learned through the power of patience that it takes time and dedication to understand a work of art. Art has underlying meaning and emotion through the artist’s impression. The long process of visualization connections underlying cues that are hidden at first glance surface.

Project #4 “Space Cube” I learned how to estblish my ideas through the use of volume and space. By working with physical models, I had to overcome the struggles of construction assembly and explore the three-dimensional principles that illustrate the model. By working through a process of recreating models, I understood the precision it takes to develop a final outcome.

Project #5 “First Portfolio” I learned that technological advancments and programs can bring my artwork to life and a new scenery. Working with AI allowed me to embellish a new emotion and story from the base creation I made. It opened my eyes to a new world and design presentation.

Overall I truly have enjoyed my first Interior Architecture and Design semester. It came with lots of succesion and struggles. However, I learned throughout the way that desing works in flexible ways. My instructors helped guide my way and pushed my boundaries in a positive way. Learning through mulitple projects with hands on assignments or technology infused, overall I embraced many old and new talents.

If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

I would tell myself that it’s not as stressful as it may seem. It may be overwhelming in the beginning few weeks, but friends are what made it better. I couldn’t have continued this process if it weren’t for the connections I made. The students around me are doing the same projects that I’m doing. Having that support and resource helped me in many ways. I could rely on them if I had questions, or they’d for my opinion for their work and so forth. I would also tell myself that the dedication is worth it. The amount of time spent on so many projects turned out well in the long run. I’m proud of the work I developed and rushing to get it done was not the path I took. I truly enjoyed this semester and I’m going to remember my first design semeseter to be a good one.

y Window iew is... right and happy. ots of natural light shines through this window and it makes the nature outside grow beautifully. Within the nature outside the window, it makes me feel calm and at peace. The green of the grass spreads far across my view.

It’s flat and wide enough for people to sit on and enjoy the sun. Including the trees in the distance, they all differ in size and shape. It adds an abstract mi ture of nature. The window smells of fresh cut grass in the morning and chirping birds.

This view is from a very high altitude on a hill, and captures a cascading view of the scenery. However, the parking lot that crosses my window takes away from the ethereal feeling. The man made parking lot takes away the formal aspect of the nature surrounding it. y eye unfortunately is always caught in the parking spots before me. I would rather interpret the outside scenery. verall, the natural attributes of my view caught my attention every time.

What I noticed the following after I drew my window view...

The amount of nature that’s in this perspective. I never spend much time looking out my window, but I noticed more details as I drew. The green patch of grass below me connects to a shielded parking garage. The abstract shapes and sizes of the trees add diversity and individuality. Another thing I noticed as I was drawing this surface was the attention to detail length. As this window is story up, it allows for higher elevation to understand the piece.

y Window iew is...

The natural light shines through this window and you watch the sunset. The balcony on the left side adds visual depth to high continuity and the window view will keep going. verall, these window sketches have many meanings and wide range of interpretation.

After painting my plaster model, I noticed a major difference when comparing the two. Even though they consisted of the same space, painting the plaster model illustrated a new vision. The color composition consisted of black, gray, red, and navy blue. These colors emphasized the emotion of fear and created a dark set of tone and feeling. The colors embarked and created a new space from the same obstructures. The 2D colors and patterns work in the 3D interior space because it demonstrates the emotion of fear through the painted colors.

Work #6. Value in 2-point Perspective

What you noticed that you were not aware of previously after drawing the point perspective...

Drawing my space cube in a two point perspective allowed me to dive into the details of the model itself. or my perspective points, I chose to draw my model with two vertical point perspectives. This allowed me to visualize my model from a higher perspective. This allowed me to develop a new understanding of my space cube. I noticed after drawing my model, previously after drawing my two point perspective, the visual depth and contrast from an above standpoint. As a viewer, I’ve always been concentrated on the side visuals. rom my vertical two point perspective, I have a better understanding of my model from above. Allowing me to capture the details of the space from a new angle.

Writing what you feel (see, smell, hear, etc.) before, during, and following your drawing completion...

Spending time outside gave me a new perspective of my surroundings. With nature, scenic paths and landscape structures, I spent my time sketching this new scenery. It was a very hot day outside, which was a hard challenge to face during my sketching. The weather was very humid and shade was the best spot to capture my frame. In the space I chose to sit and examine, I could hear birds chirping and bugs fly past me. The water of the waterwall flowed with an ethereal rhythm.

I felt calm within myself and mother nature. I felt many bugs and grass rub against my skin. The bugs would fly or run across me in a panic. This created another anxious feeling as I was on constant alert. As we were located near a cave that started near the river, we were informed of bats living in the darkness. This causes the smell of bat dung to escape and fill our sense of smell. As well as the running water, the algae and mold gave a very pungent smell to the area. The land was full of trees and grass that thrived with the environment. The color green was vibrant and spread across my eyesight. I had a very fun time sketching this beautiful scenery. It’s not everyday that I get to sit outside and enjoy nature.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - I learned to do everything, even the small details, with intention. Taking over 300 pictures of foam board structures felt super repetitive at the time, but looking back, it set me up for success to create my space cube.

Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - I learned how to draw different types of floor plans, draw from different perspectives, and how to use different mediums such as charcoal. I haven’t always been the best at drawing, but these small project taught me that not every drawing I make has to be perfect.

Project #3 “Power of Patience” - This project taught me (ironically enough) patience. I never thought I would go to a museum and stare at one painting for three hours. However, I noticed so many things I never would’ve had I not done this exercise.

Project #4 “Space Cube” - The space cube taught me how to perfect my craft, how to feel a specifc emotion by looking at a simple picture, and how to make a space flow. I learned the importance of iteration in the modeling process. Had we not been required to make three versions of our space cube I would not have gotten as good of a result as I did.

Project #5 “First Portfolio” - Making this portfolio has been a full circle moment. Seeing everything I was able to accomplish in these short 5 weeks is amazing. I learned that hard work pays off and I’m so proud of myself!

Overall - I’ve learned to more than I could have imagined in these short five weeks. I now know that sometime to you have to sacrafice perfection in order to acheive completion. With this, I have grown excellent time management skills. Most importantly I have learned more about myself and who I am as a person. I have learned how to deal with pressure, hard deadlines, and taking critiques and I tried my best to do it with grace.

If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

- If I could talk to myself before these five week I would tell myself these things: - Put yourself out there and make friends!

- Everything is cumulitive, so always give 100% effort - It’s okay to take a break every once and a while.

- Don’t be afraid to get to know your instructors. They are there to help you succeed!

I live on the fourth floor of my apartment building. From my window I mostly see leaves from two different trees. I can also see part of what a house or another small apartment building is maybe. I can hear people outside very clearly from my window. During the day, its usually people walking their dog or taking a stroll with their friends. At night there is lots of commotion since I live right next to Dickson Street. I hear people laughing, yelling, and having a fun time as they are coming back from the bars with their friends. I love the window in my room, and I open it everyday to let the sunlight in.

The view of the green trees and blue sky makes me feel warm and happy.

What I noticed the following after I drew my window view...

I have concluded that I still feel the same towards my window. Those warm, happy feelings when I open my blinds to let the light in still occur. However, I did notice things that I had not before. I heard new sounds like birds chirping and children playing outside. The day I sat down and did my drawing it was especially sunny, and I loved how the light came through the trees. I ended up counting at least five large trees in the view of my window and I figured out that the building I can see is a family home.

Work #5. Shaving Cream Marbling

One of my first papers with only values of blue and swirled together vertically and horizontally.

68 1190

This is the one of the only papers that I used my darkest yellow on and swirled it together with green. I like how it dried because it almost looks gold.

69 1191

Added blue, yellow, and small bits of green together and moved them in a spiral motion.

70 1192

I used lots of blue and yellow and mixed them so much that it produced lots of green.

71 1193

I had a light blue background, a layer of yellow, and then a top layer of dark blue and barely mixed the colors together.

72 1194

This only consists of my blue values and is swirled in a circular motion.

73 1195

On this one I mostly used yellow with small hints of blue and swirled it every which way.

74 1196

I used three different shades of blue in the background and layered two shades of yellow on top and swirled them together.

75 1197

Only used values of green for this one and swirled it in every direction.

76 1198

This one I only added a layer of yellow, but green and blue values from previous papers showed through.

77 1199

78 1200

This rectangular shaped structure has three different sections. The first section inside has four light blue walls and a dark blue floor with stairs leading up to it. The second section is completely separated from the others and only has three walls.

The three inside walls are colored light yellow, and the floor is a darker yellow. This section has a tall column protruding out of the middle of the floor. These first two sections do not have roofs. The last section is a triangular shape with the inside walls painted a light green and the floors painted dark green. The outside of the whole structure is white with all the colors previously used painted in a swirl pattern all around. The tall column is the second section is also painted in this pattern.

Work #6. Value in 2-point Perspective

I chose to draw my two-point perspective of my space cube from the horizontal view. It was fun learning about the horizon line and vanishing points of a two-point perspective drawing. Honestly, I was super confused on how to begin the drawing, but once I finally started it was easy to get the hang of it. I noticed that from this perspective I could only see the underside of my top floor and stairs. Using this perspective, my space cube feels more like an actual building than just a model project. I chose to draw the side where the majority of my elements and categories were visible.

Work #7. Outdoor Sketch

BEFORE: Today we are traveling to the Illinois River Watershed Partnership in Cave Springs, AR. It is around 90 degrees and sunny outside today so it will feel hot. I think Ill be able to hear the water rushing through the river and birds and insects buzzing around me. I will also definitely be hearing chatter from all my classmates. I believe it will smell like the outdoors and sunscreen. I will see the bright blue sky, green grass, tall trees, and flowing water from the river.

AFTER: The Illinois River Watershed is a beautiful place to observe nature of all kinds. Upon arrival I noticed there was a large pavilion near the entrance that provided shade. This was beneficial because it was a scorching summer day. The main attraction was the river, and it was surrounded by countless trees and a few hiking trails. We were told to split up as this was an individual exercise. I love to do everything with friends, so this was a change for me. However, I enjoyed exploring the trails on my own. I ventured to many different parts of the land to get different views. I wanted my sketches to show a large variety of nature within this reserve. I have never used charcoal as a medium before, but I quickly learned that it is not going to be perfect. I needed to let the charcoal flow onto the paper and not control its path as much. I found that I really loved this method of sketching. I let loose and this new way of drawing also had me thinking in a new way. Instead of drawing exactly what I see, like we are taught as children, I drew what I was feeling. This turned my drawings into expressionist art. I thoroughly enjoyed spending class outside and I learned a lot about nature and myself.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - The first project played with different objects and how they interact in a space. This project helped me understand how a space can evoke emotion and what elements of that space evoke it. “Wall, Column, and Space” was the first project of the semester which helped build the fundamental skills used for the rest of the semester.

Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - I have never considered myself to be a good drawer, however this project challenged my abilities and I surprised myself.

One of my favorite things from this entire semester is my 2-point perspective value drawing of my final space cube. I struggled to get started, but one I understood the project, I was able to use my talent and basic understanding of value to create a drawing I am extremely proud of.

Project #3 “Power of Patience” - When we were assigned the task of sitting infront of a painting for three hours, I didn’t think it was possible. However, the task was achievable, but that doesn’t mean I loved it. I don’t feel that I noticed more details about the painting as time went on. Instead, I noticed many things, and then a new detail would present itself rarely after about two hours. I consider myself a patient person, but my patience was definately tested with this task. While I was observing, I was shockingly surprised by how quickly time was passing. And I am incredibly grateful for that.

Project #4 “Space Cube” - My technique, quality, craftsmanship, and ideas developed greatly during the space cube project. Starting off, the building process was taking me a long time. But, by the end of it I could build a whole space cube with craftsmanship in a short amount of time. I was unsure if my models would change that much during the iteration process, however, in the moment I had no trouble finding errors to fix or new ideas.

Project #5 “First Portfolio” - I greatly enjoyed experimenting with AI. I found it very interesting to play with different settings and writings to result in different renderings. For the most part, my images and sketches came through legibly in the AI generations. There was one image that blew me away. My window sketch was redered perfectly. AI didn’t miss a single detail. The windows of the house reflecting light, siding of the house, deck, hot tub, and the woods in the background were all crystal clear in the rendering.

This shocked me because in previous images, some parts were messed up or forgotten in the renderings, but in the window generation, every detail was included. The AI added its own personality to the piece by adding small details around the window. This was interesting to me because many reviews about AI art say they lack the human feeling and this generation defiinately showed off its personality.

Overall - Overall, I am proud of the challenges I have overcome, the projects I made, the time I put in, and the dedication I had in this course. The summer semester is brutal to say the least. There were numerous frustrations during this course, but there is no denying that I slayed every day this semester. I can’t express how proud I am of myself for getting through it. After completed these summer courses, no other college course will ever compare. I can’t wait the finish the next five weeks so I can say, “I made it!”

If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

- Girl, you think you know what this is about to be like, but you have no idea. You will never be able to describe to others how this course is unless they were in the studio with you every day. You are so much stronger than you think. You will be faced with challenges you’ve never faced before. But keep on going. You are capable of so much. If you learn nothing from the next five weeks, just know that God created you in his image, and what a blessing that is. He will give your strength and determination. He guided me through the whole semester, so remain close to him. I love you. Now go get it girl!

y Window iew is...

I chose the window in my parent’s bedroom because I have so many memories. When I was younger, there was a couch positioned in front of the window that I loved to sleep on. I was always comforted knowing my parents were nearby. Also, I have always been in awe of the sky. I like to think of the sky as od’s canvas. And He continues to blow my mind every day. unsets, sunrises, and the night sky are all incredible to me. When I slept on the couch, I would fall asleep while looking at the night sky. It was a picture-perfect window. To this day, I am comforted by the view of that window. The couch is no longer there, and I hardly spend any time looking out that window now, but the memories are still there.

What I noticed the following after I drew my window view...

Drawing my window made me realize how symmetrical and linear the house is. The siding matches up almost perfectly with the large windows. The siding and deck are linear patterns I had previously paid little attention to. This e ercise helped me notice the small and large details in the view outside my window. y Window iew is... reviously, I had emphasized the view of the sky through the window. However, I looked at the window from a different angle, where no sky was visible. Therefore, this gave the window a completely different look and feel. ow, the window feels vast and closed at the same time. The objects and house close in the space, while the woods in the background seem to go forever, giving the view a vastness. The window also has a sense of wonder and fun as the hot tub, grill, and woods are in view. It makes me want to spend time outside, making memories with the people I love.

In this image, I swirled in a repeated heart shaped pattern, creating visual interest.

In this image, I continued to do what was described in the eighteenth image, but with more white space. This is my favorite composition, and it reminds me of a cow print.

69 1219

In this image, I highlighted the pastel colors in an even pattern.

70 1220

In this image, I continued to use the same feathering technique, but in a different direction.

71 1221

In this image, I swirled in a large cross-hatch pattern.

72 1222

In this image, I swirled the colors vigorously, creating a more coherent piece.

73 1223

In this picture, I gave the darker colors the spotlight to create contrast across the papers.

74 1224

In this image, I wanted the feeling of joy to shine through, so I made yellow the prominent color.

75 1225

In this image, I highlighted orange and opened the space by adding some white shaving cream to leave some places white.

76 1226

In this image I used diagonal lines to marble the paint, giving the image a sense of movement and flow.

77 1227

78 1228

The marbling of the plaster model introduces colors to the space. Immediately, the space feels more open, bright, and joyful with the light-yellow colors. The craftsmanship of the model appears nicer as the color becomes the focus of the piece rather than the physical plaster. Overall, color is essential in this space to create a joyful space.

79 1229

Work #6. Value in 2-point Perspective

What you noticed that you were not aware of previously after drawing the point perspective...

While drawing my space cube in a -point perspective, I noticed how open my design was. reviously I felt that it wasn’t open because of all the floors at different levels. However, when making this drawing, I realized how much of the model you can see from one perspective. This made the space open up. When looking at my space cube from any of the four corners, you can see most of the other parts. This opens the space and elevates the e perience within the space.

Work #7. Outdoor Sketch

Writing what you feel (see, smell, hear, etc.) before, during, and following your drawing completion...

This experience helped me embrace my creativity around my environment. A lot of my outcomes included organic, curved shapes. For the most part, these shapes were inspired by the constant free flowing sound of the water rushing past. I found the noise of the water to be calming. Another noise that I pulled into my work was the sound of birds chirping. This reminded my of a slow morning spent out on the porch. In my opinion, the best way to wake up is by the songs of birds outside your window. It helps me ease into the day and brings God’s creation to my attention first thing in the morning.

Spending time outside today made me appreciate the time God put into creating this beautiful world. While this has always baffled me, I love spending time observing the blessings God has provided.

There were many pieces where I used my finger prints or hand prints to add to my work. My main focus for this was the impact humans have on the world. For example, Annie mentioned that this area used to be a resort, and now looks like wilderness. This was shocking to me because there are hardly any traces of a resort on the property. But, it emphasized how humans leave their handprints on almost everything.

Overall, the majority of my work was inspired by what is saw, heard, and felt. The environment brought up many happy memories that inspired my work. My best friend and I have taken walks along the Illinois Watershed trail which inspired one of my pieces depicting the trail. Many other memories flooded my brain, therefore inspiring my sketches.

While I was extremely hot and sweaty, I did enjoy this project, and I found it relaxing. I usually don’t do art without depicting a physical thing. So, this exercise gave me the opportunity to be in my element, let my creativity flow, and embrace the outcome.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - The “Wall, Column, and Space” project taught me numerous valuable lessons. One of the most significant takeaways was the importance in any kind of work. As I worked with walls and columns, I observed how they can influence a space. It was interesting to see how a simple shift of a wall or the addition of a column could transform the entire space. This experience showed me that space plays a crucial role in design and the functionality of a given area. I gained an appreciation for how space affects a design and usability.

Project #2 “Hand Drawing” -The “Hand Drawing” projects revealed the essential role that drawing plays in the design field. Through these projects, I discovered that sketching and drawing serve a crucial role in helping visualize and communicate ideas. Each drawing allows you to translate your thoughts into a way that others can see and understand. I had a significant improvement in my sketching skills. From the first sketch we worked on, I learned how to effectively apply my ideas to paper. This progression deepended my understanding and appreciation for the art of sketching.

Project #3 “Power of Patience” - The “Power of Patience” project illustrated the true significance of patience and time. Over the course of this project, we dedicated three hours to carefully evaluating a single painting, discovering new elements with each observation. This excercise taught me that initial impressions often miss hidden details. In the design field, this lesson is crucial. Thorough evaluation and patience are essential for appreciating and comprehending these details, leading to more effective designs.

This project taught me the value of taking the time to engage and analyze a space.

Project #4 “Space Cube” -The “Space Cube” project was important in teaching me how to scale down a large model into a more manageable size.

Through this project, I gained experience in creating floor plans, sections, elevations, and axonometric drawings. These skills are important in the design field, and learning them has given me a deeper understanding of how to represent complex spaces in a clear way.

Project #5 “First Portfolio” - The “First Portfolio” project taught me the crucial skill of displaying my work and assignments in a professional manner.

This project provided valuable insights in how to present my accomplishments and highlight the importance of a well organzied portfolio in the professional field. The process of putting together this portfolio has given me an idea of what creating presentations of work will look like in the future.

Overall -Overall, these first five weeks of design school have been amazing and have provided me with many valuable lessons. I have gained a deep understanding of the importance of space in design, recognizing how the arrangement of walls and columns can transform an environment. Through hands-on projects, I have improved my sketching skills, learning to convey ideas visually and appreciate drawing. I have learned the necessity of taking time to truly understand and evaluate designs, reavealing hidden details that are often overlooked. I also learned the significance of scale through the “Space Cube” project, mastering the creation of floor plans, section, elevations, and axonometric drawings. Creating a portfolio, taught me how to effectively organize and present my work.

If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

- If I could speak to myself before starting these first five weeks, I would acknowledge the challenges ahead but emphasize their significance. I would explain that these initial weeks have been incredibly educational, teaching me crucial skills such as spatial awareness, sketching, patience, presentation, scaling, and visual communication. I would assume mysel that despite the hard work, the effort is very rewarding. The sense of accomplishment that comes from overcoming difficulties makes it all worth it.

y Window iew is...

When looking at a space, you can gather many different senses including what you see, smell, or even hear. As I looked out my window, I was able to feel all three of these senses. irst, I immediately noticed what I could see including the green trees, the small railing directly outside my window, and even all the landscaping surrounding the area. After this, I began to think deeper and evaluate what I could smell. I realized that as I looked out my window, I could smell nature, greenery, and even the smell you smell on a hot summer day. astly, as I evaluated my window view even further, I could hear the birds chirping and the wind flowing between the trees. It was interesting to see how much I could evaluate with my senses and how I could evaluate a smell and hear just by looking out my window.

What I noticed the following after I drew my window view...

After evaluating my window view, I noticed that there were many details that I didn’t notice at rst glance. nce I sketched my drawing, I realized that I found many more details that were included as I looked out the window in my apartment. I noticed shrubbery in the flower bed, the numbers of each parking spot, a yellow curb with “ AR I ” written on it, and even the raised surface in each parking slot. There was de nitely so much more detail included outside my window view and in my drawing. After drawing this sketch and then going back and evaluating the window view again, it was interesting to see how much detail I missed when I rst looked outside my window. This de nitely taught me to always evaluate space in depth because there is always detail hidden within it. y Window iew is...

In my rst evaluation of what I feel when looking out my window, I stated that I see trees, smell nature, and hear wind flowing around the space. ow, after I have evaluated the space multiple times, I can see parking spaces with corresponding numbers, a curb stating, “ AR I ,” and even long grass lling the landscaping. e t, I noticed an addition of smells, such as the lightness of the air, the wood and soil smell of the mulch, or even the sweetness of the flowers. astly, as I continued evaluating my view, I could hear the chirping of the grasshoppers, the movement of cars, and even the sound of all the leaves brushing against each other. This was such a learning e perience because I began to gain respect for how much I should be evaluating my surroundings on a day-to-day basis.

Work #5. Shaving Cream Marbling

My intention for this drawing was to use the color composition consisting of the colors blue, dark blue, gray, and black.

For this composition, I specifically intended to create dark pages with color covering mostly all of it. I wanted this one to strictly portray the emotion fear, so I began by creating the harshest marbling of blue, black, and gray as I could.

68 1246

Continuing on, I kepts using the color compositiion of blue, dark blue, gray, and black. My intention for this drawing was to continue aiming to portray the emotion fear, but I wanted to play with what lightening up the colors would do to that feeling.

69 1247

My intention for this drawing was to create a different pattern of marbling, while still remaining to keep the emotion clear.

I continued to use the color composition of blue, dark blue, black, and gray, but this time I played with the mixture of having both light and harsh marbling patterns. I wanted to create a different and interesting affect to see how it affected the overall space.

70 1248

My intention for this drawing was to create more swirly designs and play with how it may affect the space. I continued to use the color composition of blue, black, and gray and I wanted to make the majority of the design light with accents of dark colors.

71 1249

As I began, I started with the composition of, red, maroon, dark blue, and light blue. My intention for this specific composition of seven pages was to emphasize the darker colors to portray my emotion that has continuously been used. I wanted to play with the randomness of the design to see how it would affect my emotion.

72 1250

Lastly, I used a composition of colors consisting of dark gray, pink, dark red, and light blue. My intention was to play with this interesting mixture of colors. As I moved through the final seven pages of marbling, I played with the amount of each color that I had on each page. My intention was to make them all feel different in a way whether it was by color, having a swirled design, splattered design, or even a drizzled look.

73 1251

My intention for this drawing was to include accents of the dark tones, such as the maroon or gray. My intention was to make them all feel different in a way whether it was by color, having a swirled design, splattered design, or even a drizzled look. I wanted to see how the different designs of the marbling would affect this color composition.

74 1252

My intention of this design was to see how the lightness of these colors would affect the overall emotion trying to be portrayed. I found out that the lightness heavily affected the space and made it much less fearful.

75 1253

From the last one I found out that the lightness of the color composition made the space less fearful, so I decided to make all the colors darker to make sure that they would portray the emotion correctly.

76 1254

Lastly, I wanted to mainly use the red as a focal point within the other colors. I wanted to see how the red affected the space in the design and it opened my eyes to the mixture of the colors and how they can be used in different ways.

77 1255

78 1256

When I was playing with the different color compositions, I learned that overall the blue, dark blue, black, and gray composition portrayed my chosen emotion the best. I decided to create a harsh and dark marbling because I wanted the space to feel uncomfortable in order to portray the emotion the way I needed it to.

Work #6. Value in 2-point Perspective

What you noticed that you were not aware of previously after drawing the 2 point perspective...

When beginning my 2-point perspective drawing, I found it difficult in order to start my sketch. As I moved through and was able to begin, I noticed the importance of using my references when drawing this perspective. I chose to use a horizontal perspective because I found it to make more sense with my model. After finishing this drawing, I found how important it was to pay attention to each surface and to be able to visualize it from the perspective that we were asked to draw. This really helped me as I moved through this assignment when thinking about my end goal and what I needed to focus on. I really enjoyed getting to work on this assignment and improving my sketching abilities.

Work #7. Outdoor Sketch

Writing what you feel (see, smell, hear, etc.) before, during, and following your drawing completion...

When beginning this process, I began by looking at the space and seeing what I could take in at first glance. When initially looking, I was underwhelmed by the space and how I could be drawing so much for this one space. As I continued moving forward and exploring the space, I noticed that there was much more opportunity for my sketches. As I began to sketch, I really felt the heat, smelled the gross smells, heard the water moving and birds chirping, and then I saw all of the nature that surrounded me including plants, bugs, water, moss, etc. As I sketched, I moved all around myself and around the space to find twenty different spaces to explore. I had many different sights to look at and to draw and I spent a lot of time sketching trees and nature. After sketching and finishing all twenty drawings, I took time to look at what I did and reflect on it. I first looked at my drawings in comparison to the original space. I wanted to look and see what I could feel from the drawings. I could see the space clearly and the nature of the environment. I think that this was a great to reflect on this.

I really felt the heat and the sun beaming from the moment I began, which added to my drawings in a way. This was an interesting project and it was fun to be able to look at the spaces and bringing them to life on paper.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - This project taught me how important it is to realize how spaces are affected by the walls and objects that are in it. Making the scenes, keeping in mind human scale, allowed me to truly visualize how a space can feel.

Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - In this project, I learned how to let the scenes in front of me dictate how my pen would draw my image. Not being able to look at what I was drawing gave me a feeling of freedom to mess up.

Project #3 “Power of Patience” - This project taught me to sit and truly visualize and absorb the scenes in front of me. While you may think a few minutes is enough time to grasp the view or object in front of you, there is always more things to take notice of. Taking my time viewing the painting in this project allowed me to see connection that I previously would have never found. It taught me to truly look at the world around me.

Project #4 “Space Cube” - In this project, we focused on one emotion to set the tone for how we would craft our space cube. Finding my emotion in from the results of the “Wall, Column, and Space” project pushed me to see how spaces can influence emotion. It taught me how to craft an experience in my cube that made those who viewed it feel my emotion.

Project #5 “First Portfolio” - The final project showed me how to craft a portfolio for my work and the importance of sharing my work with my peers and those interested in my work. Crafting my portfolio allowed me to be proud of my work and promote me to share with others my acomplishments.

Overall - These projects taught me skills that I will use throughout my time in school and in my career. These building blocks that have begun to form will lay a stable foundation for me to grow and flurish.

If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

- While the beginning is rough, everything has a purpose. The things you make now will allow you see things in a new light.

From my window in my room, I see birds flying across the sky. The wind blows through the tree leaves, making them sway and bounce. I can hear the birds chirping and cars driving past my home. I can smell the fresh outside air blowing through my room from my open window.

I noticed after drawing my window that there are more trees in my view than I first thought. While I did notice all the buildings in my view, the trees weave through and block many of the buildings in my view.

From my window in my room, I can see all the trees I would have missed before.

I can hear the wind blow past my window, rustling through all the leaves. I feel calm and happy as I look out my window view.

Work #5. Shaving Cream Marbling

Applying the colors to the shaving cream, I used the brightest green along with the other colors to create a sharp pop of color.

For this pop-up, the marbling covers the arched windows and openings, but as it goes up it seems to create an open flow of color splashed on the white background.

I dipped again to see how the colors would fade out as less paint was left. or this pop-up piece, the marbling draws your eye from the bottom of the piece to the top in a seamless manor.

After the last piece, I immediately made this piece in order to see how the colors would continue to mix together.

In this scene, the marbling colors create a feeling of being underground with the limited openings allowing light to come through.

Work #6. Value in 2-point Perspective

After drawing the two-point perspective of my casting model, I noticed how drawing in this manor helps keep my drawing in line with itself. With two-point perspective, I was able to keep all the parts of my model to scale with ease.

Drawing my model allowed me to see how well my model flows from one point to the other.

Work #7. Outdoor Sketch

Arriving at the Illinois River Watershed Partnership, I was greeted by the sound of the water slowly moving by. The water was reflecting the light as it rippled, moving down its path. Algae patches were scattered about on the water, breaking up the clear blue water. Walking to the area that I would sketch; I paid attention to the way the landscape met and interacted with the water surface.

Branches poked out of the water and the algae patches provided birds perches to stay on. Walking further back to where the river became narrower, I found the small cave waterfall where the water that filled the waterway came from.

The sound of the water falling from the mouth of the cave made an invigorating sound that was welcome due to the day’s heat. The air in places near the water was dense with the scent of ammonia due to the bat population that lives in the cave.

Starting my drawings, I looked around the landscape in front of me to find inspiration. The branches peaking from the water provided interesting compositions to sketch along with the patches of algae. The longer I stayed the more I noticed the wildlife that the watershed provided a home to. Canadian Geese slowly floated by, taking rest from their time in the air. Water bugs skittered across the surface of the water, interacting with other objects that floated past. A bee fluttered in a circle after falling into the surface of the water. Life was occurring all around me in its own quiet world. Using willow charcoal and charcoal pencils, I sketched out drawings of different scenes that occurred around me. I moved around the watershed to see more of how the water interacted with the landscape that surrounded it.

Walking back from the area where I began and finished my drawings, I reflected on the things that I had noticed in my time drawing and how even minutes later a new scene had formed in its place, ever changing as time tick’s past.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” -The Wall, Column, and Space project taught about space and how to use space. The deeper I got in the categories, the more extreme they got and the more space had to be used.

Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - The hand Drawing project tested my abilities a lot. Drawing is not my strong suit, but I loved the challenge. It shows me that I can do things that I thought I couldn’t do.

Project #3 “Power of Patience” The Power of Patience project taught me how to be patient. Having to stare at a painting for 3 hours can be boring, but you notice a lot when you slow down, take your time and be patient.

Project #4 “Space Cube” - The Space Cube project taught me a lot that I can use forever. I learned so much like making floor plans, elevations, and space. These things are very crucial for my career and will be used a lot and now I know how to do all of those things.

Project #5 “First Portfolio” - The First Portfolio project was really fun. It was very chill and was setting me up for the future. Making portfolios in the future will set me up for life and getting a job and it all starts with this first portfolio.

Overall - learned these first five weeks more than I learned a whole year in college lol. I learned a lot about myself that I didn’t know such as my work ethic and the depth of my creativity. I didn’t know my work ethic was this strong until now. I have learned so far that the studio is going to push you to do things you have never done before. You have to have discipline and take criticism well and accept feedback from others. I have completed projects that take you more than 5 hours to complete daily (not exaggerating) and even more just to turn in the next day. I have spent 16 hours in the architecture building multiple days a week and even though I was extremely tired, the outcome was worth it. The group of people I’m experiencing all of this with are amazing and talented people. I’m so lucky to have such a supportive team for the next 3 years. I am looking forward to the next 5 weeks of summer studio!

If you could talk to you before these 5 weeks, what whould you like to share with you?

If I was to talk to myself before these 5 weeks, I would tell myself to take a deep breath. Its going to be stressful, but at the end you will be very proud of yourself and all of your accomplishments. Manage your sleep and make sure you eat because that is very important. Once you get your balance, you will be great!

Work #3. My Window View

My window is very plain. I stay in Hotz Hall over the summer and there is not much to look at. My view is mainly trees and the other dorm hall that is across from it. I stay on the second floor, and I can see the first-floor ceiling also. The ceiling hides a lot of my view from everything else. I love it when it is sunny outside because I can see the sunlight from the side of the windows and the sky is blue. The sunlight hits the trees, and the leaves are glowing from the sun. It makes me feel very peaceful and gets me ready for the day.

What I noticed the following after I drew my window view is the amount of trees, but my window view is still very boring, but I notice some more things and thought of some things that I didn’t see or think of before. Especially at night, I see two to three sidewalk lights looking out from the window. And you can also see them in the daytime. They are just hidden from the trees, so it’s hard to notice them most time. Also, I noticed that the windows from the other dorm across from me are different. Most of them like the ones I drew, but some of them are bigger and have a different design. It’s still a boring view but those little notices play a big role in my view now.

Work #5. Shaving Cream Marbling

I used green and the shaving cream and swirl that into a design.

This looks very overwhelming but cool at the same time. The pop up takes up the space very well.

68 1302

I used brown and yellow for that dark and light effect. This pop up is very calm and happy especially with the yellow color from the marbling. The pop up has good height and takes up volume of the space.

69 1303

These color are bright and subtle for this painting. The pops have great colors and different types of cut outs that are not like all the other ones.

70 1304

I wanted to make a circle affect with the green and make it bold for this painting. This is one of the pop ups that is unique.

The colors with the pop up cut out makes it interesting.

71 1305

I want to use the colors I had and make it smudged on the paper. The colors make the windows in the pop-up stand out and the colors are mainly in the middle and center of the pop-up so show more of an effect.

72 1306

I wanted this painting to feel like the forest with the brown and green. Make it feel like nature. The pop-up card makes the interior space pop more and looks like an older mansion.

73 1307

I spread the red out to give a cloud effect and it really works with the green in the back. This pop-up card is very interesting and has a lot of different cut outs that make the piece.

74 1308

I wanted to use all the color in my palette and make it very bold and colorful. It reminds me of fall. This is more drastic in the colors and building wise. The more bold and strong colors are at the top while the calm colors are at the bottom.

75 1309

I want this to look different and used yellow and orange to make bright. This pop-up card is my subtle looking because of the subtle colors and swirls of the marble painting

76 1310

I used mostly yellow to bring out the yellow and have the green and orange in the background to add more tone. The colors bring out the emptiness of the pop ups and this reminds me of a home.

77 1311

78 1312

The purpose of my colored model is to showcase all the colors from my color combinations. The colors were giving a fall vibe and I wanted to show that in the plaster model.

79 1313

Work #6. Value in 2-point Perspective

After making the 2-point perspective drawing of my space cube, I noticed how cool it really is. The 2-point perspective makes the space cube bigger than it is. On the side of the space cube is much shorter than the front side of the cube. The cube looks more noticeable using the 2-point perspective view. The side of the 2-point drawing is more defined and the heights are easy to differ. I can also notice some parts that are in 3D and was able to put that on paper.

Work #7. Outdoor Sketch

My first impression when we arrive was ok. The location was very pretty and calming. I could see myself coming out to sit and look at the water other than that time. It was very hot and was hard to see the true beauty of the place and what it had to offer. The smell of the water was very nasty and disgusting, but also had to get used to it. The birds were chirping the whole time and that was cool to witness. The place was cool to witness and something I have never been to before.

After drawing my sketches, I saw I new light at the watershed. The smell went away, and I felt like I was apart of it now. Drawing things, I see and how they make me feel made me feel different and see nature differently. I feel my sketches really capture what I saw and what I felt during that time. I was able to get more relaxed and enjoy my time. I notice bugs I never seen before, how the tree was placed next to the creek, and how the landscaping is. I notice a lot more when I stopped complaining about the heat and being outside and started drawing.

Work #3. My Window View

My Window View is...

This view from my window is very underwhelming and sort of creepy. I see a rickety apartment building and a nice house to the left. There is a tree and a picket fence right outside the window. I feel empty and have little connection to this scene. I hear cars driving by and a baby crying from the apartments.

What I noticed the following after I drew my window view...

I now notice the cute historic houses past the freshly built house (to the left). This brings awareness to the age of the “creepy” apartment buildings. I noticed the freshly sprouted flowers, and the beautiful oak tree near the historic houses.

My Window View is...

After noticing the age of my surrounding buildings, it brought me a newfound sense of appreciation for the historic aspect of my town. The longer I stared out the window the more I noticed life in what was once a ghost town. I feel safer and livelier due to this observation.

Work #6. Value in 2-point PerspecƟve

What you noticed that you were not aware of previously after drawing the 2 point perspective...

Drawing my space cube model in two-point perspective allowed me to note many things. First, I noticed how drawing in two-point perspective seemingly adds more dimension, and stretches things out. This highlighted the different areas of my space cube. Second, by adding shading, I was able to highlight (or hide) the areas of my space cube I enjoyed (or didn’t). Lastly, I learned how to shade using a pen for my medium.

Seeing how the different pieces of this se�ng work together to combine nature and human made is truly beau�ful.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - I learned about sequences and how they are an important part of design. Walls, colums, and space is what makes up the foundation of a room.

Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - Blind countour and the outdoor scketches taught me that my drawings do not need to be perfect all of the time. The floorplans were difficult at first but I learned a lot about line weights and how to apply them to my drawings. The shaving cream project was fun and different from the other things that we had been working on. I learned how to draw a two-point perspective and got to draw my window view.

Project #3 “Power of Patience” - Throught going to the Crystal Bridges art museam and looking at a painting for three hours taught me that the longer I look at a painting the more things I notice and understand about it. I learned how to point out lots of design principles and art elements.

Project #4 “Space Cube” - The space cube taught me that it is better to repeat a process in order to make it better each time. The first one is not always going to turn out how you want and it takes time to improve it.

Project #5 “First Portfolio” - Taking my portrait showed me all of my work in one place. It also made me realize how much I have improved. This is my first portfolio and it has helped me learn how to make more in the future.

Overall - I definitely think I have improved from the beginning of this semester. I have become more confident with my work and have learned how to manage lots of assingments at once.

If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

- I Would tell myself to slow down and not rush my work. Even though it seems like there is not enough time, rushing through causes you to make mistakes.

What you noticed that you were not aware of previously after drawing the point perspective...

omething new that I realized about the space cube was when drawing the two point perspective the corners of the space cube do not look degrees. The view makes it lookdistorted but it also allows me to see a different perspective and depth of the cube.

Work #7. Outdoor Sketch

The outdoor sketches captured the landscape of the Illinois River watershed. I drew things I could see from different spots using charcoal and pencil. As I sat there, drawing my sketches, I could hear the sound of a small waterfall and birds chirping in the distance. This brought a sense of calm to the area. The sun was out and shining down, and it was very warm. Bugs were crawling everywhere, even on the drawings. But all of this helped to tie in nature and the outdoors.

There was a soft smell from the caves where the bats reside. When I first started drawing, I decided to draw things exactly as I saw them. As I continued to draw, I got more comfortable with the charcoal and decided to make my drawings darker. I also begin to abstract them, making each different. The trees were tall and cut back. The wind whistled through the many trees and plants and blew my papers away. There were also flowers, but I can tell that they were put there on purpose. I decided to draw them so I could remember more than just the trees. I found myself taking my time on each one and realized that I did not need to make them look perfect. I use my finger to blur the charcoal, making it look more dirty and like the outdoors. When I arrived back at home, I still had a few drawings to complete. Instead of looking at pictures, I decided to draw from my memory. These were a lot harder than when I was able to look at what I was drawing. Overall, this experience taught me to not feel the need to make everything perfect. especially when I am just sketching, in order to get an idea of the space.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” This was a great introduction on how to use different elements inside a space, and really thinking about how they affect a subject’s emotions or reactions to the space. Something as simple as how a wall is placed or where the lighting comes from can make a massive difference and completely change the mood of a space.

Project #2 “Hand Drawing” I loved this set of exercises; many of them got me away from my typical perfectionist approach to drawing, and it was a great challenge. Especially with the charcoal sketches at the Illinois River Watershed. I’ve never worked with charcoal before, as well as not really touching abstract drawing all the much in my own time.

Project #3 “Power of Patience” Power of Patience forced me to really slow down my thinking process and be, well, patient. I’d never really looked at a singular painting as closely as I did The Poetry of Joseph E Big Bear, but it was really eye opening. I also got to go more in depth with the different principles of art and design than I had previously.

Project #4 “Space Cube” Never before have I worked with foam board in this way, but I feel very accomplished now and I know a lot of extended foam board model techniques. I loved being able to work with my hands intensely during this project period, and it taught me a lot about the importance of iteration through the design process. I also got to see how the same basic idea I had morphed through the different phases of the project.

Project #5 “First Portfolio” When it came time to start thinking about putting together this portfolio, I couldn’t believe it’d already been 5 weeks since I started my journey through design school. We finished up the class with a small AI workshop which I found very fun, and got to thinking about how I might use it in future projects to better envision a space I’m trying to create. Putting the last images and finishing touches into this portfolio was an amazing feeling, and I’m thrilled to be able to share my work here.

Overall This first studio was a great one. I learned not just about design principles, the design process, how to interact with the environment around me, and how to express how spaces feel and what elements cause that feeling; I learned how to look within and draw inspiration, ideas, and thoughts from myself that greatly impact my work. When out in the world now, I already sense that I’m processing architecture I see differently and more deeply.

If you could talk to yourself before these five weeks, what would you like to share with past you?

Going into this studio, I wasn’t 100% sure exactly what to expect as far as exact workload or even course material, but I knew there would be a lot of dedication and grit involved. But, I would say that the workload was even a bit more than I originally anticipated. But I would say to myself “Trust the process!”

There were times when I felt like I would never be able to get everything done, but everything turned out just fine at the end.

Work #3 . M y Wi n dow V i ew

ooking out my window along the front of my house, I rst see a small section of the front porch, including some of the ceiling and iron railing, four main trees at varying distances from the porch, the driveway, and the road. There’s a tree line that e tends all the way across the view just past the road. I hear the constant hum of the air conditioner, punctuated by cars and motorcycles as they pass. I can smell the air freshener plugged into the wall carried across the air coming from the floor vent.

When looking out the window during drawing, I noticed a few new things I didn’t take note of before. ome of those things include the storm drain at the end of the driveway, the small bush ne t to the railing, the bush surrounding the closest tree, and the slatted te ture of the ceiling on the porch. The sound of the tra c also varied as the day went on, getting louder and coming back down as rush hours came and went After spending some time with this window view and thinking about it in terms of one-point, my eye now divides the space into my drawing sections that I created before putting pen to paper. I also take e tra note of the new things mentioned above. verall, I feel calm looking out my window; home is an incredibly comforting place, even though this window view is virtually brand new to me. ( y brother and I just moved into this house over the weekend.)

In addition, I wanted to challenge myself to use a rougher, sketch-like drawing style for this e ercise, as I tend to be very perfectionistic when it comes to my drawings. The change to making purposeful lines and being con dent in where they were going was a new, somewhat weird feeling. I’m used to sketching in pencil and fleshing out rough shapes before going back and picking the lines I feel look best. verall, I really enjoyed getting to slow down and take time to immerse myself in this new environment, especially after a crazy moving weekend; I feel that it really helps me to be appreciative of the life we’ve been given.

Work #5. Shaving Cream Marbling

When looking at my selected marbling sheet prior to folding it into my model, the colors felt serene, like looking at the top of a pond. But the black does add a dark, sad, negative connotation and draws your eye right to it as opposed to the blue.

After folding the paper into the kirigami model (below) and looking at the space in terms of the figure’s perspective, the colors feel much bolder. It feels like you’ve stepped into a night sky, or a dark, roaring river painted by Van Gogh. The walls flow together and feel very cohesive, but it does still feel overwhelming and, well, blue.

68 1386

My prior observation at Crystal Bridge was over Frank Big Bear’s painting The Poetry of Joseph E. Big Bear, a memorial portrait of his late brother that focused on the life of his brother, as opposed to his death. Looking at this painting, the color is explosive, and life seems to leak off the canvas. The background is also very rich and includes a vast variety of different natural elements, likely suggesting that Joseph perhaps drew inspiration from or spent a lot of time in nature, especially with different insects.

For my second observation, I chose the cafe area of the museum to draw. It may not make sense initially as to why I chose it but let me explain myself. As stated before, life drips from this painting, and I feel like the cafe does the same. It’s constantly noisy, both hearing and sight wise. There are always people at the tables conversing, kids laughing and making observations, people passing through both entrances taking pictures, as well as the actual noise from the restaurant and coffee shop. Both are also so full of color and remain connected with nature; the walls of the cafe are completely glass, and the floor stretches across the water installation, making you feel suspended like a bird flying low over the water. The sunlight comes in beautifully during all times of day, and it’s inspiring to see how the mood changes as the sun makes its way across the sky.

In addition, the space feels like you’re inside of a ribcage due to the boning details across the ceiling as well as the heart installation suspended. Our souls are comprised of our interactions with other people and our environments, with some of the most meaningful conversations that inspire us the most happening over food or coffee; that’s another aspect that drew me into this space.

69 1387

70 1388

For the colored model, I really like how the marbling turned out on the floor and wall. It feels like part of a grand building, where marble stretches from floor to ceiling. I also love how the red on the inside of the pillars really pops. Though, I’m not crazy about how the blue looks; I wish I’d done marble on the pillars with the red just on the inside. The color palette feels very intense and cold.

71 1389

Work #6. Value in 2-point Perspective

After drawing my space cube, oriented in a different direction than I’ve been looking at it for past projects, I noticed that a lot of different elements line up really well. The different floors, pillars, and walls all coordinate with the ones around it, with the stairs and sphere acting as perfect punctuation points to break up the continuations.

73 1391

Work #7. Outdoor Sketch

During my time at the Illinois River Watershed, I felt like I was in a place suspended between nature and urban; the road being a level of the dam really went to add to this feeling. There wasn’t really a true “natural” place, there was some touch of man everywhere you went, from a house being built, to the sound of the road, to the mowed trail you walked on. However, I still felt like it was a very beautiful place to spend a (mildly sweaty) afternoon.

During my walk onto the trails, I heard many kinds of songbirds, as well as a few woodpeckers. I also always heard the road and cars passing in the background, providing a steady hum to the space. As I got closer to the cave, I saw the beautiful flow ponds and heard the waterfall. That was probably my favorite part of the whole park.

While drawing, I found myself being a lot more attentive to small details than I would be if I was just walking through. I tried to reflect that in my different rubbings I took of the leaves and tree barks that I passed. I also tried to depict some of the landscape scenes I saw that stood out to me the most, mainly through lighting. I also saw immense amounts of insects and spiders (many of which landed on me), some of which I included in my drawings, like a butterfly, dragonfly, and a bumblebee and the clover it landed on.

The whole time I was honestly amazed at how many different species I saw just in the relatively small area, both of flora and fauna. The Q&A session was also very insightful and helped me to understand more about what I was seeing. I loved being able to have an outside studio for the day, and I actually had a lot of fun getting really messy with the charcoal.
