Observational/Spatial Drawing


I started off by looking at simple three-dimensional shapes and combining them with design elements and furniture. I then looked at different textures such as glass, metal and ceramic before going on to looking at how simple 3d volumes are able to constitute a shelter or a space that one may use in order to carry out day to day activities in. I then went on to look at interiors with different functions such as a living room, a storage room or an office. Then, I finally looked at a traditional Romanian house with a straw roof and the way that it is assembled in contrast to a modern building and what makes it look as imposing as it does.

Zaha Hadid’s Ski trampoline-  I looked at the contrast between the soft curves and the roughness of the metal and glass.

In this section, I looked closely at colours and shapes and their ability to clearly and efficiently transmit emotions to the viewer. I then arrived to the conclusion that the eyes are the most expressive part of the human face as they are the ones at actually contain all of the emotions that are transmitted from one person to the other. Hence, the way that I drew and rendered the eyes was crucial to my project. I looked closely at the wrinkles that constituted the face and the most expressive features of the face; the eyes. I created two fundamentally different final pieces in terms of techniques yet, they both transmit the same amount of emotions to the viewer. For the first, I combined the vivid colours with greys in order to expose the deep secrets that the eyes convey . For the second I made the eyes and the lips the main features in a more somber piece.
