More art stuff...

From my design class, here is a bridge I had to make out of balsa wood. My TA suggested that I construct it to look similar to the "birdsnest stadium" from the Beijing Olympics, so that's the basis for its design. And might I add, it's not fun trying to bend balsa wood! Even after boiling the wood to make it pliable it still breaks easily.


Charcoal final nude drawing. The window was put in to fill empty space (and I have found mini-blinds are an easy effect to create.)


Another planar analysis, stemming from the previous exercise from the last post. My only comment is, she looks like she's writhing in pain, lol.


Matrix assignment, the same person drawn at different areas of the room to show proportions in space.




By the way, I'm amused by the assortment of models we have for our classes. This gentleman strided into our class in a white shirt and tie and slacks before undressing. Many of our other models have been college students. One of my male friends said he's signed up to be a model for next term. I have to say I'll feel a little uneasy drawing someone I know, if he happens to model in any of my classes!
