Materials Study

Fabric

Recycled Glass Tiles

Zodiaq Countertops

Bamboo Flooring

This is four of the materials I am using in my kitchen project.

For this assignment we were to draw four different materials

three times, one with pencil, one with maker, and one with pen.

The left is pencil showing the material zoomed in.

The middle is maker showing it at regular.

The right is pen showing it zoomed out.

This really helped me when it came time to render my perspectives of my kitchen space, with techniques and at what scale it would be viewed at.

Concept Graphic

This is the graphic I did for my concept, Flower Garden.

I picked some of the flowers Michael Stipe has in his flower garden.

The top one I drew in pencil and used it to trace the bottom one

so there wouldn't be pencil lines around the white flowers.

Gradation thru Spheres

In my sculpting class we were assigned to use basic shapes and make an abstract piece.

I wanted to use the sphere shape and I cut them in half and got the semi-sphere.

This shows gradation thru the spheres going from big to small and also the semi-spheres.

The line of spheres creates a visual line that wraps around all three semi-spheres

to connect the three semi-spheres.

The first thing we did was made it in clay, after that we made the mold around it.

When we were putting the mold on the spheres kept falling of from the weight of the

plaster mold and we just stuck them back on, but it made me nervous how it would turn out.

Then the clay came out of the mold fairly easy, and then I just cleaned it up. Then we poured

the hydrocal into the mold. After it hardened I chipped away all the mold, but again the

spheres were a problem because they became unattached to the semi-spheres and I had to

superglue them back at the end. There was also so air bubbles that I had to patch.

Overall this was a fun project, difficult but for a first time it turned out good.

Next I plan to paint it when I get a chance.
