I have done another nature drawing. This time it was at the beach. I may still go back and alter it a bit, as my teacher pointed out that she has seen something similar to it before. *The three trees in the background are not part of the drawing, but I want to incorporate them somehow.

I went back to the drawing after 2 hours to see how it had progressed. The leaves in the skirt had begun to shrivel up as more sunlight began to hit them, and some grass blades had been ridden over. For the most part, not a lot had changed, though. Here are photos of my process after working on the drawing for about an hour as well as the results. Hello reader (Professor Mongiovi, most likely)
Welcome to my blog, which I will be using for assignments in my Contemporary Drawing Practices class this semester. I plan on staying up to date with my entries, though I know that in the past I have not. My first posts will be about a piece that is due on the 14th, titled "Ephemeral Marks in the Landscape". The rules for this assignment are to create two drawings that leave temporary marks in a landscape. The catch is that the only materials or tools that can be used for this project are items around the area whereto landscape is (including the body). The resulting piece has to be at least five feet by five feet. The idea of this assignment is that the resulting drawing, being created with natural materials not built for permanency, will not last long. I have already begun one drawing, which I have done on a sidewalk and busy bike/foot bath. I used many units from an American Beautyberry bush that grew along the sidewalk, as well as twigs, grass, dried-out palm fronds, and raccoon-grapes. I chose the sidewalk because it is a spot with high human activity. It is near a some-what busy road, and gets enough of breeze. Basically, I thought that it would be a great spot for an ephemeral piece. I will be posting pictures soon. |
