This is one of my fellow classmates, with a view of most of the studio to the right. There's about 12 desks in the studio in total.
This is my desk! I got lucky and got a corner desk, which gives me the oppurtunity to hang research, photos, etc on the wall and tape deadlines, WIP's (works in progress), and other things on the window.
This is the early stages of my NK drawing done on 24 x 36 paper. Each letter takes about 2 hours to complete, the entire thing has to be done to the exact specifications given (ratio-wise, we had to figure out the size on our own). The great thing is each letter has a 4 paragraph description with tips on how to draw the ltters. The not-so-great thing is that each paragraph is written in Latin.
A closeup on the amount of construction lines needed to fully construct the right side of a voloute for an ionic column. This took about 4 hours in total to construct.
So there are some pictures! I debated on whether or not to show you some preliminary drawings of my Bruce hometown map, but I'll just wait until that's done to show you. Love you all and miss you all so much!
Norman

ReplyDeleteMorning Normman. I bet you are tired and anxious as you turn in your first project...can't wait to see it. Just put Kathryn and James on the bus. Held back my tears until bus pulled away. I took lots of pictures, and MARY did the video of them getting on the bus. She did her very best - but Mama (me) had to get in her way to get my photos. Will get a SECOND day of school getting on bus vidoe tomorrow. Lots of excitement and buzzing about all in a bout 30 secinds. Whew!
