In class a month or so back, we had to recreate a Diebenkorn Charcoal drawing that our teacher gave us copies of in pairs. We had to recreate it to almost the exact original, with small details and everything.
Here is our recreation of the diebenkorn drawing our teacher gave us.
The following week, we had to search around greensboro- or where ever we live, around our small towns that we reside in or whatever... and photograph the side of building, the goal was to find a very flat surface. We had to try and find a side of a building that resembles the Diebenkorn drawing that we worked on in class.
I took this very literally, it didn't HAVE to look exactly like what we drew in class but the style of the simple lines and compositions that Diebenkorn creates in his drawings. But, I drove around in Kernersville and searched for a building that looks similar to the drawing above.
We then had to draw a Diebenkorn style charcoal drawing from the photograph we took of a flat building side.
Here is my drawing from the photograph I took to resemble the Diebenkorn drawing we did in Class.
SO I took this photo and made it black and white and did the above drawing from it.
