Kindergarten Art Project
On Wednesday I spent five hours cutting up pieces of construction paper and arranging them on larger pieces of paper. This was not silliness, it was mockups of my board layouts for our final project, which is due at 2pm next Wednesday. I was delighted to discover that not only do I have plenty of drawings to fill the boards, but in fact I have too many, and I can jettison some of the weaker ones.
It's surprising how many iterations you can go through in search of a good layout. We have restriction: two or three 30"x40" boards. And there's a list of required drawings and scales that basically account for 2/3 of the real estate on those boards (there was no way my building was fitting on two boards). So there's not a lot of flexibility to begin with. How did I manage to spend an entire studio period working on it?

I had started working on it digitally, but it was just not coming together. I tried pencil drawing, but that wasn't working, either. Paper cutouts made it easy to arrange and re-arrange. The various colours relate to the type of drawing (perspectives are green, sections and elevations light blue, details blue, plans pink, and so forth).
This is what I had worked out after a couple of hours of tweaking and twiddling with it:
Then I got a critique from my teacher and a classmate, and revised it a little. Dramatic difference, no?
Yeah, it is kind of boring. But today I spent my studio time generating half those drawings. Almost there!
