To start off I want to talk about life drawing and about making use of the space on the paper drawing on. Well I know that when drawing say a self portrait you use a the paper or whatever you have in a portrait position, however I believe that if the drawing is small enough to fit onto a landscape format then it really doesn’t matter. I’ve told I should make use of the portrait space, but I think it doesn’t matter if you’re not going to fit the whole page. I mean when I draw pretty much anything I don’t tend to go for a large scale, I go for the smaller scale the way I see what I’m drawing.
My Life Drawing. 320 x 180 Resolution.
However a technique I picked up on was that when I’m drawing and measuring things out, if you want to reach a bigger scale but make sure everything looks accurate still then all I do is measure up the contours in and around the image or in this case the outline of the body then it’s simple enough just to double everything up. For example you see a cube that is equal to 1cm vertically and 1cm horizontally orthographically, I’ll obviously draw it that way on paper. All you have to do is double each side up to 2cm each and you basically have that same image in an equal resolution.
Same Drawing doubled... 640 x 360.
I use this because I find that I tend to mess up a lot when drawing on a larger scale. However you can find that if you try this on the same canvas, for example an A3 piece of paper then it will be better to draw on an A2 sheet for doubling up. Even so tripling up and so on works the exact same.
More fruit again; I’m definitely producing work faster now. I say it every time but it is working. I want say a few things about the 9th floor project. Originally I went for the seminar room and this is what I got:
Basically I designed it with seating, speakers in the corners of the room, a desk with seating and a monitor at the front of the room, a projector on the ceiling pointing at the screen, windows and blinds/Art on the walls and finally lights on the walls. It’s a very simple but I think ‘sleek’ design that would work quite nicely I think. Looking back at my research you don’t want to waste too much money on one room so I think it would work well possibly. The seating looks very basic but it would be leather padded possibly or just a cushion like material. I wanted to go for something that is quite spacey, have a lot of free room so everything is not cramped and you can see the screen cause you could even use this room for presentations and open days etc not just lectures I think it sells the course quite well if you put student work up on the walls it allows you to move around and view the work. The seating would quite spacey, in blocks of rows with a nice widescreen projection.
