Chris Rothery – Assignment 02

I started A1 Early, before class because I had nothing else to do at the time.

I was in Seattle and I found this interesting little space on the University of Washington’s campus.

“9 Trees. 9Spaces.”
  
I wasn’t using the axonometric cube method before class. I found sketching the landscape, which actually leant itself really well to a cube based method, was kind of difficult for me not using the method. I found that by the 30 min drawing I was practiced enough at the shapes and reading the space, but the time was so long that I kept adding more and more details to fill the time, adding texture and etc that it came out quite busy. For better or for worse. Maybe slightly for worse.

In class sketching my room, I felt like I did pretty okay. The curves of the hammock and desk was most the most challenging part after figuring out the actual shape of the room.

I wanted to continue this method with a bit of actual landscapes, so I drew my original landscape. From memory.


I drew some more on campus. At one of the community gardens south of the landscape annex, and at the landscape annex itself.

Assignment 1

practicing 1, 5, and 20 lines, and creating grids. Experimenting the effects when overlapped and drawn at angles.

Expressing emotion through single lines 

I went to Kitsilano Beach Park which is beside my apartment. I was standing on the lawn area looking out onto the water and mountains in the distance. Drawing the space using different lines, I tried to be efficient about picking the most important information that would convey the spatial experience. This is seen in the 1, 2, and 10 lines, where the trees are drawn as continuous loose lines. I thought their forms were an important part of the experience. The 20 lines drawing shows more information about what is beyond the trees and what is in the foreground.

Class 1 – In-class Assignment: line practice


Assignment 1
I went to the frisbee golf course across from the building that I’m staying in. Young trees are interspersed around the gradual changes in topography. There is always at least one person at any time during the day playing frisbee golf. Strip malls and the Bridger range are seen in the distance.

Assignment 1: 20 Line Landscape

All of the crows in East Vancouver descended on Trout Lake park.  Their bodies were hidden in trees and branches but the air was thick with the drone of their voices and punctuated with the occasional strident “CAW” and “hoot-hoot-hoot”

The fog was thick enough that it coated my skin like rain and it deadened the sound of the dogs barking and the Skytrain moving across the distance.

Looking across the lake, the fog and ice changed the lake from liquid certainty to a confusion. Birds stood on the water; the lines of shore blurred into the trees.  One crow pecked madly at the surface trying to reach something below.
