Gateway to Irac

This is a exterior model of the space that will we will be using to construct an outdoor passage way. This is a group project ( six total members). Inside the model is our first proposal of our structure. I think that we are off to a good start!

Moments of Vertical Lights

Sketch up model

The intentions of this project was to create a window object that create at least two moments of light. I used cardboard as my primary material and the cut out of triangles to create this moment. My intial design was changed several times to try capture this effect. The direction of where the light actually came through the window was one of the most important factors that controlled how the structure would be created. Although there are several moments that can be indefined in this project, I think that the two most obvious moments of light are in the intersection of the triangles and the light that is cast on the wall.

I used these two images to draw from. The image of the girl above is from a magazine clipping and the photo below is from my trip to Puerto Rico (I dream of the day when I can go back).

Vignettes/Scale people/Watercolors

I guess you can tell that I have " cabin fever"! It would be so nice to sit on the beach under neath the sun! Here are three vignettes that I created using large scale objects and people. I am still trying to master the technique of using watercolors.

When I was a little girl my mom used to sew a lot of my clothes. I remember seeing the McCall's clothing patterns that she used to sew from, they were a lot of fun to look at. The illustrations on the front of the packages were so stylish! I thought that I would use some of these illustrations to help with sketching scale figures and showing posture and movement in the body.

jewerly and parts.....

This assignment was about drawing accessories on our classmates body parts. It was interesting to see some of the cool colors and jewelry pieces that
everyone was wearing. A lot of the colors

inspired my watercolor

palette.
