Memory Space

In class, we listened to a story and drew what we heard. On our own we were to use the story and what we remembered to create something new. I used black and gray paper since the house burned down in the sorry. the different shapes shown represent different elements of the story on the paper.

Creating work from the memory of our childhood home. Since I have lived in the same house all my life, it is easy for me to remember it like the back of my hand. After drawing a contour of the house, I drew my parents. It is seemed more of my parents house now that my sister and I have both moved out for the most part. Theven colors used are the different colors of the wall within the house. We don't call rooms by what they are, but their color. "It's in the yellow room" Therefore my parents being represented and the colors within the house are the most important factors in creating a memory space for it.

Using 1 sheet of paper approximately 18 by 24 inches, cut down into smaller dimensions and layered together. I chose the subject shown because it was something that I would normally draw on paper and brought it off the page by cutting shapes, layering with the help of gesso, and forming the subject in a way that can be seen off the wall.

Showing the practice of different materials, and line work through erasing.

Transformation Drawing

Over the course of 5 weeks, I transformed this drawing. A new layer covered approximately 90% from the previous week, creating an entirely new drawing. The beginning drawing started out with a gray wash, next tracing paper, newspaper, and paper towels were gesso'd on top and 2 strands of pink ribbon glued to the top. The entire piece was then lightly sprayed with a red spray paint to create a soft pink color. Next I applied tape over the piece and spray painted it black. After taking the tape off, left tunderneath you could see the soft pink coming through. In the next transformation, the drawing was gesso'd over in white once again and red spray paint was appliedoing primarily in the center and lightly as you moved out. This made an emphasis on the lines already created. Lastly, I printed out copies of letters I have written over the past 3 years. I dyed these letters in tea and glued them on top of eachother starting with the oldest letters and the newest letters on top. The last two letters I wrote I dyed in a mix of black berries and raspberries to create a lavender color. The end result shows the layers that a person builds within themselves. The beginning showed the darkness that we all have in our own way, then adding layers to the individual person in the weeks that followed. Finally showing the thoughts we carry and share with those we find trustworthy and love for.

Drawing Collection

Tea Stained Paper, Tracing Paper, Black Pens, Makeup

This series of drawings came together under the idea of femininity. A majority of the designs presented have a feel of tattoo work with flowers, hands, faces, and a few various other subjects. The idea for each individual drawing came out of the idea of women today; what they like, what they do, how they respond to life. Tracing paper is also used in this collection. Not only does tracing paper play a large role in the stages of producing a final image on the tea stained paper, it also gives the idea a sense of transparency. Seeing through the tracing paper into other images or pocking through holes in other images gives the collection layers. The use of makeup, blue mascara, gold foundations, and glitter shows the idea of what is considered feminine in today's society and enhances the idea of femininity throughout the drawings. The collection is also idea of myself and who I am as a person. By using images of myself in the drawings and using sayings that I enjoy, as well as including subjects such as pizza and snapchat, I am creating an sense of me as a person.

Untitled

Multiple Panel

This piece was brought on by using random and extra pieces of paper that I found and connecting them through drawings of the body and color. Using color hepled to connect different papers and give it a look of being one piece. The plastic wrap used made the images behind it blurred and made you look through them more. It also produces great shadows once light casted on it.
