At Home:
I chose to draw the backyard of my house, starting with a silhouette and ending with a collection of one-line drawings. I particularly enjoyed the challenge of portraying many rotting apples with a single line.
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.

I can’t wait for the tree to turn its vibrant shade of red.
