abstract composition.
Using one of my existing drawings, the aim was to explore the piece by changing its scale, cropping and rotating it to become unrecognisable.
Here, the focus is drawn towards the detailing on the left-hand side. Including the pencil gradient enables viewers to focus on the linear lines.
atmospheric model.
Side by side image with the composition. To present similar qualities.
Materials: plastic, skewers, mesh fabric, black acrylic paint, UHU glue, craft knife
I chose the mesh fabric to replicate the grain-like effect from the pencil shading. Overlapping the material and using black paint deepened the colour of the material intensifying the shade. To emphasise the straight, linear lines and rectangular shapes, skewers were used to form the square shapes. The plastic acted as the backdrop highlighting the overall shape the drawing, acted as support for the rest of the materials.
final section.
Trace lines were gathered using a section from the atmospheric model.
While creating this section, I wanted the lines to be the boldest, exaggerated element within the final section. I chose the linear lines to form a vertical and angular framework for a high rise, sky deck. Rather than having the angular lines sit horizontally, I interpreted the positioning of these lines as elevated pathways. The gaps within the lines are areas serving as a lookout where people are able to view the scenery and cityscape.
