LINES AND DOTS

Hello,
The assignment for this week was to produce one drawing of each of this following notions with simple lines anc circles: motion, interruption, and symmetry.
The following drawing is my vision of motion. In order to picture motion, and not direction, and I thought that we had to understand that the movement started from a still point. So i drew vertical lines on the left, kind of like a wall, and then made a multi layer arrow going right. The arrow pointing right gives the image an horizontal direction, in contrast to the vertical of the "wall". and the fact that it is multi layer rising up is i think what gives it its sense of motion It does not just point to the right, it elevates itself as the eyes follow the arrow, therefore creating motion.

This second drawing is the interruption......I know, I know, I did not spell it right.....Anyway, I thought that this drawing was the hardest one....I had a good idea but lost it quickly.....and drew this: I tried to separate the drawing in two, so that if you look at the picture like a comic book, and therefor start paying attention to the details on the left and then proceed right, you see a bunch of circles connected by lines, that are suddenly split by a thick walls drawn with two lines, (kind of like the end of a picture in a comic book) and then, on the right of that separation (interruption) we see that the circles are not connected anymore but are in line to form an arrow. I tried to make the two side contrast to accentuate this interruption. The left side is an unorganized interconnected mass of circles, that could resemble stationary molecules; and the right side is more open spaced and symmetric.

The final drawing had to be focused on the idea of symmetry.....Here I honestly did not think too much about how and what I wanted to represent things, I just split my paper in four squares and added similar shapes to each side. You can notice that some elements of the drawing are symetric on a horizontal and vertical axis (4 planes), and some on a 2 plane(only horizontal or vertical).....I like the final result of the drawing, it reminds me of a skeleton playing cars in under the Peruvian sun in Machu Picchu....haha

Nutella visions

So the homework this week was to draw an object from three different points of view.
The first one at a 1 inch distance of my face, the second, at mid range view, and last at far view.
I choose to draw a little jar of nutella because I was eating breakfast when I remembered I had to do this homework...
At the 1 inch distance, the jar has a different size, it is more slim.


Only the contour lines are tick, and the rest is vague.... the label "nutella" is really blurry and overlaps itself.

In this mid range view image, every line is clear (not blurry) and this is where we can really tell the difference between the thick and thinner lines.

This is the far view image..... Most lines were blurry, except of course for the ones creating the overall shapes that were a little darker. The little drawings on the label were barely distinguishable and the letters of the name nutella were much thinner.

One thing that I found interesting is that at all distances I could still manage to see the relection of the lights on the glass between the label and the top......no it was not an empty glass... I know these lines look like they were shaping the back side of the jar through the glass....I am just a bad artist.....
voila!

my favorite drawings of the day....

SO here are, as asked, the drawings done today.....you only see the ones that I feel are the best....Even though I am not sure what makes them the best since I drew most og them without looking at the paper.....or partially for some of them.....

First exercice

My name is Bastien. I am half french and half peruvian. I was raised in France and lived there 20 years. I moved to montreal a year and a half ago.
This is my fourth university year and my first year in computation arts.



The photo above is my representative picture, which looks quite funny if you ask me....and the one below is my interpretative....
