Quad/Tennis Court Perspective- 4/8/10

Coming and leaving campus each time I travel I always admire the Quad/Tennis court area of campus from Aycock Street. I enjoy our brick/historical/colonial feel to campus and those longest lasting beginning of campus always intrigue me the most. I took pictures of campus last fall to show my family back home and here I chose one to draw in perspective. Although the trees cover up a lot of the dorms I think you still can get a feel for UNCG and it's flavor, unity and wholeness in architecture.

First Renderings-Design Visualization 112-March 2010

After we all ordered and tested out our first sets of markers, we started playing around with some fun furniture. Our assignment was to choose 3 furniture items and practice rendering them, taking notes on what works and what does not. I am VERY happy with how my grey geometric chair turned out, it's edgy and I spent the greatest amount of time on capturing the right shadows and shades of grey. One I had a bit of trouble with was the orange chair. Trying to find the right colored pencils to shade areas of the chair was difficult to get right. Overall I think darker pieces of furniture are easy to render because you cannot see all the little places where the detail is not spot on, but it works.

Play With Color-Environmental Design 102

Designing and thinking of new spaces obviously has a lot to do with color and complimenting whether it be in color, materials, style or feel. Fun little exercise that I have never done before was making a basic color wheel and then going on too making a Monochromatic, Analogous, Complementary and Split-Complementary display of colors.
