Bottle Cap Project

Terra cycle is hosting a contest to see who can come up with something to do with Bottle Caps. We worked in partners for this project. My partner was Meg, and we decided to make salt and pepper shakers. We wanted this to be sort of a collector's item with the soda bottle labels. However we also did ones that were just bottle caps. We wanted to come up with a way to use not only the caps but the bottle itself also and to make something that people always use everyday. That's how we came up with Salt and Peppa Shakers!

A long Process...turned into a great Journey

This is our board!

This is Heather's Public/Private Diagram

From January 29 my Perception and Communication class has been working on this project. We were divided into groups and assigned buildings around our UNCG campus. My group was assigned the Ferguson building. The building itself is not that exciting architectural wise however it serves many purposes. Such as the Teaching Resource Center, and the Deaf Ed center. We started this project by making floor plans of the building then went on to making diagrams, perspective drawings, and finally details. We then put all of our best work together and assembled out first real board!! I really enjoyed this project. I wasn't sure how it was going to end up but thanks to my group and out awesome working together, I feel we assembled a pretty good lookin board.

Scaled Figures everywhere!

These next images are ones that I did outside of class. Some of them turned out good, others not so much.

Last Thursday in class, we expeirimented with scaled figures. I find that if i pay too much attention to the little details my drawings don't come out as good as they do if I just pay attention to the positions and angles of the person's body. These first two pages are ones we did in class.

Stylized Drawings

My last drawing is also by Mike Lin. It's an example of Pointillism. This is actually one of my fav. techniques of shading/ hatching. However I don't like how long it takes to do it.

Second Stylized drawing also by Mike Lin. This is an example of a Regular pencil drawing. I actually really enjoyed this. at first all of it was a light pencil but then I went back with a darker pencil and gave it some umph.


These are my fav. stylized drawings. The first one was found in Mike W. Lin's book Drawing and Designing With Confidence. I really enjoy drawing furniture so that's why I chose this style. However, I didn't do as well in my own. I need to work on perspective for this drawing a little more.

Drink and Draw....not Drink and Drive

I went to Tate St. Coffee to do my drink and draw assignment. This is my first one. I did all my drawings in light pencil, and for this one I went back and did it in darker pencil.

Scaled Figures that I like

My last example is of Ching's Design Drawing book. I think it's a good example of one point perspectives in a space. Also I like how the figure is still contour but they show the shirt and hat, and what not.
I chose to put this on my blog because I think it's a good example of putting multiple figures in a community building/space. It also shows how the figures would interact with each other in that space. The drawing is of the East Harlem Preschool in New York City.
This scaled figure is prob. my fav. of the ones I found. The drawing's title is Vista, it's based on a sketch by Le Corbusier for the design of the Ministry of National Education and Public Health in Rio de Janeiro. The figure almost looks out of place with the rest of the picture. However I really enjoy how it has that messy type of look, but it's successful in that look.
This is also from Ching's Architecture book. I really enjoy how the scaled figures are shaded with the space. You can tell the difference and the presence of the figure. Most scaled figures are either totally black or white, so it's nice to see an example of one that's shaded. It's almost like the figure's a ghost.
My first example of scaled figures comes from Ching's Architecture: form, space, and order. I chose this one because I like how it shows how the scaled figures interact with the space when the depth of the depressed field changes.
