Assignment 3 – Mapping

I started by doing a series of sketches to get a sense of the space, followed by two maps. The first was in plan, documenting the pauses of people inside the gallery (it was not easy to observe movement because of the layout of the shelves). The final version looks at my movement up to and through the space.

I got inspired to map an anthill from watching the movie A Bugs Life with my roommates this weekend. Luckily I live across the street from a park so it wasn’t hard to find a good bunch of ants to study from. Starting with a plan view didn’t feel appropriate for this cube because the real challenge was going to be the multidimensionality of the imagined tunnels of the anthill. Getting the heights of the tunnels moving around in space was the biggest challenge overall but I’m pleased enough with how it turned out.

I also took the chance to draw the beaty museum. Mapping the space was fun enough, but I became interested in the geographic diversity of the samples in the museum. The map of the earth overlaid on the museum was drawn completley freehand from memory and you can see how detailed my world geography is on the west coast of North America, and how far it devolves into the very simplistic shapes representing Africa and India.

These in Class Exercises represent an attempt to map movement and temporality. I was also sketching an idea for the Beaty Museum drawing, in class but by the time I got there I wasnt so intrested in that part of the idea anymore.

In-Class Exercise

Drawing my living room in relation to the adjacent unit across the hallway, while beginning to show furniture, the balcony, and the hallway.

Assignment 2

1 & 2. Experimenting with drawing cubes at different angles and in perspective. Imagining the interaction with light and casted shadows.

3. Drawing and shading cones in different angles and positions.

4. Drawing an axonometric view of a jar on my desk.

5 & 6. Timed drawings of the view from my balcony. The 30 second, 1 minute, and 2 minute drawings were difficult because it forced a way of thinking to create efficient lines that would reveal basic form and depth. The 10 minute drawing allowed for the same looseness but a greater focus on adding more detail and information. Creating the 15 minute drawing allowed for more time to expand and frame the view. However, if I were to redo the 15 minute drawing, I would not expand the view and focus on the framed view from the 10 minute and practice on detailing light and shadow.
