Ok so here was the first assignment for my Design class. “We had to draw lines (horizontal, vertical, diagonal, curvy, and then a combo – 1 of each) but we had to make them interesting to the viewer and consider our negative space as well.

 

Below are my 100 sketches (25 for each category)

In the end I really do think I did over think a few of the designs. After hearing the group critique in class I saw that out of the ones I did, the one everyone liked was the one I did just to be random. NO THOUGHT!

 To the lift is the designs I did. Done on Bristol board and the lines cut out with black construction paper.

To the right is my piece that was critique.

“A lot of movement, rhythm, equal weight/ balance”

I was very relived to hear our Professor say it was physically built and gave off a sense of depth. Something I really did not expect to do. Over all I was very proud of my work. I do wish I would have used rubber cement instead of a glue stick. To me it just felt as if it made my craftsmanship … not as well as it could have been.

The process of this took me awhile to complete, after figuring out which design to create (with the help of my mother) I just started cutting different thickness of lines, trying my best to keep them straight. Besides from that the rest was just places the design on the page and gluing it down.
