Rising Sun
Graphite Pencil 20"x16"
The purpose of this project was to portray a story using several images combined into one drawing.
Each of us chose a story, then compiled a list of words to brainstorm what came to mind when we thought of our story. Our chosen images were then combined into a collage with a computer then drawn.
Rising Sun
is a 1992 internationally best-selling novel by Michael Crichton about a murder in the Los Angeles headquarters of Nakamoto, a fictional Japanese corporation.

Light Drawing Exercise
Currently in my Beginning drawing class we are studying the effects of light on objects.
Light is really just a metaphor of the mind, it allows our brains to tell us what an object is. In this exercise, the image of a shell was projected on a screen, but out of focus, within a 45 min period, the shell came more into focus, and only at about 35 minutes could we tell we were drawing a shell. Doing this forces the artist to pay attention to the difference in value, contrast, and the light instead of drawing outlines with contours.

Wire Sculpture Project
Continuing with our study of contour in beginning drawing, we created three dimensional wire sculptures of real objects. This project helps us to continue seeing shape with the lines that make up its outline.
By using only contour lines, the overall shape of an elephants head was created by bending and twisting the length of wire given to me.
For the next part of the project, we began sketching the sculpture we had created, but instead of sketching the whole figure, we got up close and really examined the actual lines themselves. By using stippling (shading using small dots), we started to discover that our "contour lines" were full of character and value.
