BALANCING THE FIELD

Rebecka Craig

Katie Bart
Class began with a critique of the large scale drawing from Wednesday (Homework #2). From there we discussed Linear and Atmospheric Perspective.  After the lecture we ventured outside to draw compositions based on the architectural designs in our immediate environment; primarily Analy Hall but also the surrounding buildings and landscape.
Rebecka's drawings above exhibits a keen "eye" for repetition and pattern while practicing restraint. The drawing on the left is elegant and proper while the drawing on the right is calm and meditative.  Katie's drawing illustrates the dynamics achieved when employing angular and curvilinear shapes together in the same composition.  The diagonals lead us into the depth of the composition while the half circular shape in the upper left acts as an unexpected- yet visually exciting- intruder sweeping across the grid.
