[F, F & E] close-up


we are designing a residential kitchen in studio, so our drawing assignment this week was to show a furnishing, fixture, or electrical element that was unique to our space. I drew my wall cabinets and emphasized it by making everything else grey.

we had a chance to re-do any previous assignment. since i was exempt from designing a blog header that week, i decided to do that assignment. the clock and hour glass symbolize the time we have spent in the major so far, but that our journey is only just beginning.

case study 9 :: axonometrics


after we drew the floor plan, the next step was to do an axonometric drawing. these have gotten a lot easier for me since first year. the biggest challenge with these drawing was getting the level changes right. of these two drawings, i like the black and white better.

so you think you can(t) draw


our subject for the drawing competition last week was to draw scale figures. i tried three different styles of figures, while keeping the composition unified with them being beach scenes.

foods lab [re]design

our second studio project was to redesign the nutrition foods lab in the stone building on campus. my concept was at thunderstorm weather system and i channeled the top-heavy, dark quality of the storm. i also used green materials throughout the room to have less of an environmental impact.

gotta get some camera time!


the drawing task for so you think you can draw was to draw a camera and show scale. i chose to draw an old camera because i thought the accordion folds were interesting. the style is a little looser than i normally use, but i had fun with the colors in the picture.
