A still-life for Drawing II in charcoal reduction. This technique involves covering the paper with charcoal, then erasing into it for highlights and drawing into it for the shadows

For 2D Design--over 600 squares, each with a different design in pen to make one big picture. Needless to say, it took a very long time.

 

 

 

 

This is a board game for 2D Design. Based on an origami theme, the board folds out from an origami "square base." The pieces that move around the board are an origami crane (orange), rabbit (blue), dog (red), and frog (green). Since everything folds up flat, it can be stored in a handmade envelop instead of the traditional gameboard-holding box.

 

A basic self-portrait to show knowledge of proportions for Drawing II.

 

Pen and ink over an ink wash for Drawing II.

 

This assignment required showing a "recent human presense" in mixed media (pastel and graphite). It is a cup spilling on a crayon drawing.

This is a tattoo design for 2D Design. The mat board is open at the top, and acetate slides in with color overlays. Pictured here is orange on the butterflies. There are also overlays of magenta and blue, and they can be mixed. The butterfly is based off of an oriental design. (The glare in the photo is from the acetate)

 

Line design in pen for 2D Design. I based the pointy shapes off of a leaf I found and the circles were inspired by lavalamp bubbles.

 

This is giant self-portrait in charcoal for the Drawing II final. It is based off of a photograph taken by my roomate. During the critique, everyone enjoyed guessing what I was reading--someone made up a whole story about me finding the diary of a cheating boyfriend. It was actually a book with yoga poses--I was looking through it to get ideas for a pose to do in the self-portrait, and my roomate snapped a picture. This picture turned out more interesting than the yoga ones, so I used it.
