I started the exploration with an analysis of edge conditions and trip hazards, explored the transition of heat drawn away from my body by sitting on the cold cement, and tried to represent texture along the edge of a planting area.

Next I sat in the plaza and tried to imagine the world only from what I could hear. Annotating direction, rhythm, and amplitude of sound surrounding me.

I walked across the plaza looking for something to draw, and I noticed that through my thin shoes I could feel the difference in textures as I walked around. This map attempts to denote the rythm and feeling of my foot as I traveled across the plaza using only line. each segment of dotted line represents an individual step (although it is not to scale), with the expression of the line meant to indicate how the step felt: soft, sharp, etc.

Im calling the top drawing a texture map – the line attempts to communicate the soft and rough textures along the hands path of this moss covered tree limb.|

The bottom Drawing is about the sensorial experience of each step in the process of making a vegan take on a deep south bbq sandwich and bananna pudding desert.

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.
