Final Major Project - Contrasted Architecture

FMP - Contrasted Architecture

I continued to use the same drawings methods i had previously been experimenting with to develop my ideas. I found myself looking quite a lot at gate railings as there are so many varities of them. Working on collaged backgrounds contributed to my work.

 

Layering my drawings allows me to have more shapes to possibly choose from, shape is something that is occuring through my project and could be looked at more closely, for example, i may go down the route at looking at shapes from architecture, and seeing how one contrasts from another.

 

The left drawings (above) contrast from eachother, however i like each seperate drawing. I like the colour palette of the first one as i have used blues for the background (envelope paper) and the brown pen brings these colours out more. The opposite drawing is a less accurate drawing as i used my incorrect hand to draw with. I like how the collaged strips of paper contrast the the drawing of the railing as they go in opposite directions.

 

I purposely made the left (above) drawing contrast by using my prints of the old fashioned lampost and drawing more contemporary lamposts over the top. The first drawing is my preferred as i simply find the green pen more effective.

The opposite drawing on the right (above) were from looking at Chesterfield crooked spire, this is a great example of an old building where i also found interesting church windows. I really like the orange outline drawing of the church as it makes such a lovely shape. I also drew some stone and brick work which refers back to my ideas of materials.

I experimented with using the sewing machine and sewn into a photocopy of a print. By photocopying this once again after it flattened the image, something i found more effective than the real thing.

I didn't like the image once it had been converted to black and white as the sewn line is less obvious on the background.

Using a coloured thread to sew through a black and white image works effectively. The two images sort of contrast with eachother, something that could be useful to experiment with.
