2nd Session - Fluid Thoughts to Action

A4 Sketches:


The above are best samples taken from my A4 sketchbook for the final submission. As shown, the approach to some of my drawings are very bold with less variant in gradient. The purpose of this approach is solely to express the form of the objects drawing in the pictures. Some of my other pictures however is more expressive in terms of light and dark, and the nature for these pictures are more lifelike. All of the pictures are drawn with the same piece of charcoal and this proves that charcoal drawings can be very flexible and can provide wonderful images.


A charcoal drawing of the balcony of my apartment. A distinctive light and dark contrast is produced between indoor and outdoor spaces. A special note is how the scenary outdoors is blurred and sketched so the focus remains on the balcony.


A drawing of a wall lamp situated on one of the walls of the building i live in. This is an experimentation of not including line edges for objects in a picture, but to express form through different gradients. This produces a very soft but lifelike image instead.




Folio:

This is the folio where all the A2 drawings done are documented in. I have used a fold up folio for the final submission and the frame for the pictures are alternated black and white to provide contrast so each picture is distinctively seperated from each other.

For the first opera house sketch, I tried to provide a contrast between the roof and the wall structure by darkening the walls and bleaching the roof. I also attempted to provide detail for the wall structure by using different gradients.

As for the second picture, this is drawn from the side of the opera house and the objective for the drawing is to exhibit the duration of movement. Faint line footprints can be seen below the bold lines of the existing view, which are linework of the same wall drawn from a different angle. I have completely darkened the right side of the drawing to provide a sense of memory and hint the viewer of the existance of an extension of the space drawn.

The task for this drawing is to draw a space according to a short spatial description written by another student. The description for the above is as follows:

"An empty room that feels very lonely. There is only one door that is seen at the deepest corner of its fairly narrow shaped room. Only small amount of light is penerated throguh a small circular opening on a wall of the room (creating a 'spot light' effect). The room feels very cold because of its emptiness. A small wooden chair is located in the centre of the room. This chair once again conveys the meaning of loneliness of this room."

The above is a drawing of the window view on the 6th floor of the red centre. One of the buildings seen from the scenery is then to be enlarge to show duration of movement from a far view to a close view.

Tasked to draw various objects situated on a table, I have tried to leave a more obvious footprint so to articulate the movement of the objects through time. Pale linework can be seen at the background of the drawing which suggests an object previously present at that space.
