Cluttered sketches!

System research

New project: Construct a self-sustaining system out of wood, making six or more cuts. Adhesives are not allowed.

This is the first of my research for the "system" project. The more information you have on what you are doing, the better your decisions when constructing it. At this point, though, I still don't really know what my system will be. I can't wait to get in the shop and start cutting!!

Whatta Mess!!

Here is a sketch of a part of my messy room. I think if i was there more, I would care about cleaning it up. But I live at the studio, pretty much....so my desk is clean. At least my priorities are straight!!

Beginning of Semester Two!

So here we are again, back in the studio. Well, almost--the first day of classes is tomorrow. I have to say that so far, I have thoroughly enjoyed being in this department. I'm still trying to find my niche within it. I second guess myself all the time and have a long way to go with the way I create things and even the way I go about thinking of the different projects. I think I speak for everyone when I say it is amazing to challenge yourself in this way. It is difficult, yet we all have a blast doing it. I am very excited for the next project...hmm...I wonder how many all-nighters I'll be pulling THIS semester. :)

Final Sketch of Time Capsule

Below is my final sketch of my proposal for our departments time capsule. I did a couple thumbnails of it first from different angles and then decided to go with the second one from the left. I liked the perspective of the building behind it.

This project has been incredibly eye opening. We started it from absolute scratch, and then it gradually grew into an amazing array of different projects. It shows how differently people think and how many ideas can derive from one single idea--in this case, "time capsule."
