Line/Chance drawing

A few weeks after the semester started, we did these drawings in class where our teacher had a dice roller on the computer. It was some site on the internet, It was two dice. We made a list of 12 different kinds of lines we could draw. We drew a square anywhere on the page and came up with all different kinds of lines as a class. 

We each scrambled up all the different kinds of lines we listed different on our pages.

He rolled the dice and we had a mintue or 30 seconds to draw that kind of line, then he'd roll them again and we'd have the same time do a different kind of line. Whatever number the dice rolled on, was the kind of line we drew for what we listed. 

this is mine. It got pretty crazy after awhile, and it also kept rolling a lot of the same kinds of lines which got kind of annoying. haha. again, I've learned that assignments like this would be way cooler on larger paper but, I suppose that is what made this assignment a challenge was to try and fit it all in that box in a cool composition [ and not knowing what you were going to have to draw next.]

Helen O'Leary Visting Artist

We had to draw this artists exhibition in the Gatewood Gallery in the art building at school for design class.

We didn't have to make it pretty, just to show the work and the relationships between objects.

Mine aren't that great.
I started using measurement and realized it was going to take me 300 years to draw it if I did. Its lots of lines and over lapping things. anyhow... its semi-accurate.
So, don't judge from my drawings.

Go see the exhibition yourself. Its pretty neat... We had to hear the Artist talk today and it made the work a lot more interesting.

the drawing above was divided by a large white space between the beginning of the next drawing. her work was up on 3 different walls.


The two drawings below are of the same wall. it starts on the left and continues to the right as one piece til the "column' and that is another painting. I photoshopped the two images on the left together as one.. and there is some details missing between the two images for them to connect as one piece of work from the left to the right.

J Stencil value assignment

We had to do an assignment during class one day in which, we received stencils from all the letters of the alphabet. .I got J. We did this a month or so back. 
We had to make an interesting composition on paper with the stencils and use different values of graphite to fill in the stencils.

Here is mine. 
 It didn't fit all the way on the whole flatbed scanner but There isn't too much your missing from the edges really. 

I like how mine ended up kind of like a pattern or a design. 

almost.

I would have liked to see it on a larger scale. As much as big paper is annoying, I'm starting to realize that things are better on bigger paper.
