In class exercise: drawing axo cubes and my living room

Basic cubes with shading
3D objects with shading (cubes, cylinders, olive oil bottle)
SESC Pompeia Factory in Sao Paolo by Lina Bo Bardi (not near my home but came across it during GP research and was intrigued by the geometry)
In-class exercise: An analytical sketch of my room. I learned from this exercise that adding a person before adding anything else in the room makes it easier to get the relative proportions of things more accurate.
Experimenting with what the skeleton of this vase would look like, and where light hits objects.
A field trip to Cathedral Place. I’d passed this place before but had never been inside, so it was fun discovering the courtyard. I walked around the block and inside the buildings while taking photos. I drew it partly from memory and partly from referring to my photos to see where the parts connect. It was hard to get the big picture without walking far away from the site and looking back at it. I struggled with representing this in 3D so I started by focusing more on the plan/footprints first.
The site in 30s, 1 min, 2 min, 5 min, 15, and 30+ min. The first four show the whole block while the last two focus in on the half the block that I found most interesting. In the last drawing, I got a bit lost in the details of trying to represent the grade changes and consequently lost clarity and some of the scale was off. Quick drawings with fewer lines seem to be more successful for conveying information with clarity and to force you to prioritize what information to include without overthinking it. What stood out to me about this site was the complex grading and repetition of sitelines that overlook archways and triangles.
The image on the right I learned that I need to pay attention to line angle and parallel lines in order to make the drawings more accurate. As you can see the left was me starting my cube drawings and I started doing the same thing… but adjusted once I realized.
attempt #2 at drawing the room using advice I was given in class… scale is better and lines are also more parallel.. some things still off.
I used the cube template to help me draw my glasses. Which wasn’t a great idea because I could see (but I committed already so I couldn’t change)…
Part 6 involved drawing a place near your home, however I pursued a space at my thesis site, Ontario Place. The pods were a good start to drawing in landscape for me because they are very linear and have depth (3D). I found drawing the cubes difficult in free space, but once I applied it to a real space that is designed, i was able to better draw. Safe to say I am a very visual learner.
