MeMoRy BoX-FiNaL AtTeMpT




Instead of making my box just a cube and taking stuff to it, on this iteration I transformed the top and bottom to different shapes. Although, I did keep the sides of the box square. But with the contrasting top and bottom I think it works and adds more contrast and excitement!:)

The memory that I chose to hold within my box, was that of first receiving my puppy. His name is Giacomo and he is the very first puppy I've ever had of my own. I remember when I first saw him in my dining room. I was SO excited and it was definitely a crazy moment! Because excitement and happiness were the most overwhelming feelings of the moment, that is what I tried to convey with my box!

So this is my original and final pencil box. I struggled with the glue and some aspects like measurements and angles. I wasn't planning on using this one as my final, however the final iteration I made was pretty questionable, so I ended up with this one!


Making a pencil box was a lot more difficult then I had expected. As I was making my pencil boxes I realized I have a big issue with leaving glue stains on my boxes! No matter how many times I would wash my hands they still showed up. So this is actually my final iteration, however it came out worse than the original so I didn't choose it for my final box!

pOrtRAit #2



OK so heres #2! I thought maybe by this second one my abilities would
improve...not really! I'm just not very good with these portraits, no matter how many times I measure I think I still get the measurements and the angles a little off!Ill just have to keep on trying! :)

PoRtrAiT #1

So here is the 1st of the 2 portraits we had to do. I'm not very good at these so needless to say my cousin Frankie doesn't look much like this portrait.

So here are my 4 people contour drawings. The only one that I was pretty happy with was the one I did in Chick-Fil-A. I believe that is because I actually took my time on it. However, I think some people might have thought I was crazy for staring at them! But thats ok!

~ScRaMbLEd EgGs~




So here is my final egg project. Instead of scrambling eggs every morning, I figured I would save myself (and my mother) some time and eggs by using yellow construction paper. I realized that scrambled eggs probably wasn't the most practical ideas but I just went with it and improvised at the end!

DoWn ToWn CoNtouR #4


O.K I was back on track with this one. There were no big distractions so I really tried to focus on my angles, however the thought of dinner was definately on my mind!

DowNtOWn cOntOuR #3


So I have to admit, I was a little distracted on this one. A man who might have been a little off his rocker decided to come tell us his life story. Now I'm the type of person where I really talk to almost anyone, however this guy wasn't all there if you catch my drift. Although I was trying to look focused, I couldn't help to think when he would make his exit and be on his way!

downTOWN ConToUr #2


So here's number 2! I really enjoyed doing this one, my favorite part was the pathway, however the bottom of the building got a little confusing!:)

DOwnToWn CoNtoUr #1


So we had to do 4 contour drawings of downtown Greensboro. A few classmates and I ended up at some park off of Elm Street. It was really nice with a lot of views to choose from. There were actually a good amount of people there, which I will have to admit that I left them out of my drawing.

BiCycLe!

Here is an upside down bike that we had to draw (it was upside down when we drew it). However it was supposed to be a negative space drawing which I didnt realize until I was done (or at least with what I had time to complete). I did get very off on the front wheel and the back wheel is a little small, but I was pleased with how the seat and the gear came out.
This is the revised contour drawing of the same spot I was in, in front of college avenue. There were a few angles that I still couldn't quite get but I tried to focus more on detail and include some things that I had left out before.

I believe this is the view of college avenue. It was very hot and our last stop on our contour tour around campus so its not my best. That is why I chose this one to redo!

This is the blind contour we had to do of or hand. And yes I did accidentally draw 6 fingers. :-) (I guess I lost track of how many fingers I had already drawn.)
