Ashley Fleck | Assignment 9 – Smell Notes

In-Class – Seawall and Stanley Park

In the collage, the two smells that had the strongest scent, or smells that I picked out most easily were the familiar smell of the ocean and the smell of the cedar log. Both of these smells seemed to waft through the air, whereas the other smells required me to get up closer to get the full extent of their pungent odour, which I found to be somewhat unpleasant.

At Home

For this assignment, I walked along 4th Ave and tracked the smells that I experienced. I started off with a description and then visualized them after, with the size of the smells reflecting the intensity of the smell.

Ashley Fleck | Assignment 8 – Tuning In & Windplay

In-Class Drawings

Sounds from the Landscape Annex

For this assignment, I chose to analyze the sounds from within the Landscape Annex. I sat at first just listening and a pattern of sounds emerged, and I began to draw these sounds linearly, as they occur in time. I also wanted to represent how certain sounds drowned out others, with the crossing over of lines. At first, the space seemed reasonably quiet, but the more I listened, the more I began to pick up on all the different noises occurring. When doing this assignment, there were me and two others in the building. At its quietest, the clicking of the keyboard was the steady noise governing the space. But every so often, a car would drive by outside and then beep a few times as it was backing up. I then picked up on children outside playing. The first sound I would pick up was a shriek and then a bit of chatter afterwards. When someone got up and walked to the door within the space, that sound was much louder, with the clicking and slamming of the door when leaving the room.

Here is an attempt to show the same sounds in a more quantified way.

Ashley Fleck | Assignment 2 – Adding Dimension

In-Class Drawing

At-Home Drawings

For the last drawing, I switched from paper and pen to tablet and found that I truly had the time to focus on the scale of the geometries, and was able to erase lines as well. The first five minutes of the drawing were focused on the geometry and relationship of scale and then I was able to go ahead and create more detail within the drawing.

Ashley Fleck | Assignment 1 – Time to Align

In-Class Drawings

In class, I worked at drawing the building/space with just simple lines to quickly represent the geometry of the space. My first draft included unnecessary details that didn’t contribute to a greater understanding while I believe the second drawing represents the scale and shape well.
