ARCH 1142 - Fluid Thoughts


Paragraph Drawing

The idea of this exercise is for us to interpret the paragraph a group member has written and communicate that paragraph through a charcoal illustration.

The idea behind this drawing is to show movement in space. It happens when we were moving from location to location and trying to capture the image as we travel alongside the Sydney Opera House. The methods in blending the drawings together were ideas like transparency and overlapping. This will create a drawing with movement and depth showing the fluidity of a certain structure.

Another aspect we were trying to achieve through this exercise is the ability to capture the difference of light and dark in a environment. Light and darkness in an image show fluidity because of the idea of time. The casting of shadows and light show that other than it being just a stationary structure time is also changing the building every second. From day to night and night to day it goes through many different appearances and through the sketching of the building through time we were able to see the fluidity of the structure and life within it.


Still Life Objects

The sketching of still life objects allow us to capture clearly a certain section of the object. However the images were altered through the movement of the objects after we captured the image and in order to show movement we have to convey the idea through the methods we were introduced to during the opera house exercise.



Landscape Sketching

Through this exercise the sense of scale is emphasised as we were told to enlarge a certain component in the landscape and blend it into the landscape.
