Final Img

Thinking about how the class integrated all the senses into traditional and nontraditional design drawings, I ended up using a section line as a progression from the traditional section to a more emotional and evocative types of line drawings on a page. Each sense is separated out into a diffrent style of drawing with a diffrent pen type but combines to create a whole picture on the page.

some test drawings.
was down to the final pages in my sketchbook

The end result

Tasting

This first page shows the parameter I created; the categories, attributes, and assignment colour/textures used to describe a flavour

This sheet is the analysis using page one parameters. Open to interpretations, but it is supposed to show which flavours or sensations are more intense or take over taste buds. Also can show the sensations of chewing to swallow, or multiple bites.

Assignment 07:

I used this assignment to interrogate the spatial qualities of the bathroom space in my student apartment. I wanted to look at the space through the idea of compression and sensorial micro-moments. Due to my size and the scale of the bathroom there is an almost continuous gradient of compressed feeling in the bathroom. The number of steps I take in the space have very little rhythm or composition. To manoeuvre my frame around it require many small steps to position myself in space.

The micro moments progressions show both the act of moving to the shower space and how my body interacts with that on a physical level, and the other is the progression of washing my hands.

The most confusing interaction is with the inward swinging door which to access the cupboards under the sink, you need to move around the perimeter of the door as you swing it open in order to then close it.

Assignment 06:

Attempting to analyze all of the sensorial aspects around me through an abstraction of my physical self as receptacle of sensorial input.

Thinking about how sensorial perception of materials is shaped by the environment they exist in. A warm wood bench in a sun ray is a pleasant experience to find ones self in while that same bench on a colder rainy day could find one feeling damp. Sensorial perception is then not only about the objects that inhabit a space, but how external forces impact how those perceptions are relayed to us.

For this portion of the analysis I attempted to use a LIDAR scan from my iPad as a way to capture space and thus annotate more clearly on it the sensorial aspects of the space I was in. Using this scan as well would allow one to revisit the sensorial pocket of space they were in previously and re-examine the conditions they found themselves in. To notice again the perception of the concrete paving stones, blotchy with moisture from that mornings rain. A streaky wood grain turning green from moss in portions. And a cold metal armrest, reflective of the mood of the day.

Assignement 5

Blind Drawings:

In the last two section drawings, I was trying to show the rough under part. Also by blindly exploring this pottery, I found a bump inside of it that I probably would not have noticed without it.

With Sight:

With my sight, I was able to see the beautiful poke dot glazing pattern on the pottery and the signature of my friend underneath.
