This is one of my first details. It is the piece that joins the dividers in the studio. I really though it was interesting, especially where the notches stick out. Also at the time I was drawing it, since the notches are set back a little from the rest of the piece it created it's own shadows. I'm happy with this drawing. I sometimes struggle with shading but, I enjoyed drawing this.

Sustainable system
For my Sustainable System I decided to make an Xylophone. I knew what one looked like, however I had no idea how to make one, or how the pieces made the different sounds. I did some research and found out that xylophones have little groves/wedges on the side of them, this along with the different thickness of the wooden pieces help to make different wooden sounds. I really enjoyed working in the wood shop, I got to learn how to use a couple of the machines. I used to be scared to work there not, because of the machinery but because I hate asking for help, so I always felt a little intimated. However, I was proven wrong, tons of people ask for help and there and I'm just one of them. I can't wait to work with wood more. One thing I would change about my project is how interesting it is. Unless you know what it is and that it makes a sound it looks like a really easy boring project, so I would have made it look a little more interesting.

mess 3
A mess sketch of the top of one of my dressers. I'm actually half pleased with the shading in pen on this one. Normally it doesn't go well for me but, I like this.
mess 2
Mess sketch of my room floor before I unpacked everything. It was really hard to shadow garbage bags, so this is what ya get.
mess 1
A mess of things that lay on my studio desk. Once again I hate pen, that is why I left my eye glasses in pencil.
gray exhibit
This is another view of the exhibit in the Weatherspoon museum. This is a view of the backside of the furniture instead of looking into the room.

Exhibit drawing
This is my re drawing of the exhibit in Weatherspoon. We had to redo it in ink. However, I like my original better because I think that when you sketch pencil and you're semi in a hurry it always works out better for me. Overall I like this project and you will see more of the sketch's from this exhibit.
