Sc Bench

For this project we made a poster showing the progress work of the bench we designed in our studio class. We took pictures and scanned sketches and models of different stages in the making of the bench.I showed my steps from my found object, a metal piece, to a concept model, to different benches. When working on the poster it was challenging picking which models and sketches were the most important in my steps since I had about 8 models and tons of sketches. After I picked the best ones however, it was really fun for me to recall why I made the bench that why, and how it led to what became my final bench. Making it into the poster really showed my progress work in a way I hadn't looked at before.

Thought Map Sketch

For this sketch we started with one word, mine being colorful, and we made a thought process map. We had to write down the first word that popped into our head from the previous word. "Rainbows" and "My Comforter" are my two beginning thoughts, and "Smoothies" and "Creativity" are where I ended. We also drew simple sketches to go along with the words. Once I finished it was really neat looking at where my thoughts ended up.

Napkin Sketch

For this sketch we drew on a napkin using a pen. We had to draw a perspective sketch of our room as well as a plan drawing of our room. I liked the idea of this sketch. Sometimes we'll be put in situations where we need to grab something real quick to jot down ideas, such as a napkin.

Figure Sketches

For this sketch we created figure drawing a few different ways. I've learned how to sketch figures using the method to the left, so that way was easier for me. It's easier for me to picture each piece of a person in order to make it proportional.

Figure Tracing Sketch

For this sketch we chose a picture of a figure and traced it. It was a bit difficult seeing through the paper but overall the sketch turned out well. I was helping tracing it using minimal lines because it helped me realize how little details you need to show a figure. This idea is helpful for drafting and showing human dimensions.

Fruit Cross Section Sketch

This is one of my favorite sketches. We had to take some fruits with interesting cross-sections and sketch them, using color if we wanted to. I felt I did a pretty good job sketching the shapes of the fruit and bringing out the cross-sections as well. I had a lot of fun adding color and I think it definitely enhanced my sketch.

Room Corner Sketch

For this sketch we had to find an interesting corner in a room and sketch it using shading techniques and perspective views as well. It was difficult sketching it at first because it has a two point perspective, but after I got a hang of it, it became much easier. I would have liked to spend more time on it so I could have straighter lines to make it look cleaner.
