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.
  

Week 1

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.

All of the drawings entitled “out the front door” trace different ways of leaving my house following a similar set of steps:

1) exiting

2) locking the door & turning around

3) walking down the steps

4) leaving the property

Out the front door: Walking heavily, racing down the steps and 2 different paths towards the east.

Out the front door: (bottom left to right) pacing back and forth on the steps, leaving normally, new wide stairs, racing off to the car. (top left & right) going to the Skytrain versus going behind the cars.

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.
