For the newest project we are working on we were to create a luminare that projected a field of light. As far as my project I wanted to focus more so on the field of light given off more so than the object or color, as well as the idea of contrast between the dark and light. In order to do this I researched both ideas of light and how they can create contrast. here were some of the main ideas that stuck out to me as well as inspired my project.
Contrast

Space seemed like a good variety of contrast as far as the balance between the void and light.
The main idea that I got from this image was the field of light that was given off from the glow stick.


Its kind of funny but I also found inspiration from the logo of the Men in Black movies.

Here were my orthographic drawings from this Project.

For one of our most recent assignment we were to create two spaces and define them using 12 skewers and 12 planes of Bristol board, also when coming up with our ideas we had to create a collage of images that inspired our idea. For my project my main inspiration was the idea of a skyscraper as well as the formation of construction sites.
When going about creating the project I wanted to keep the idea of building upward in mind. I also wanted the two spaces that i defined to be in upward and downward directions. My first iteration wasn't as successful due to the fact that it created more than two spaces in between the materials. Also the craftsmen ship could have been a lot better. However in my second iteration it seemed better to build less upward and more outward in order to define the downward space.

After my second attempt i decided that I wanted to stick with this idea because it defined both of the spaces in each direction that i desired. After this I made one more model in order to enhance the craft of this project.

One of our most recent assignments was to take a stick from outside as well as our phones and draw detailed drawings of areas on them. In my case since my phone didn't have buttons, I used my television remote.

For more practice with our Orthographic drawings we were to draw Elevations and Plan drawings for a fruit as well as the inside in ink and pencil. The fruit I chose was an Orange, this was somewhat of a challenge because it didn't have a clear top, bottom, front, or, back.

In our most recent asingment our class was given the task of drawing a Pure contour of the Foust building located on campus.

The angle that I had was kind of tough for me to get because I had to draw around a bush, but I didn't want to move because I liked the way that the building looked from that angle.

For this project our class was required to choose two natural items and find a way to connect the two using a linear object. For my project I chose to use a rock that I found outside of my dorm as well as part of a tree branch that I found on a dirt path, I also connected the two using a yellow ribbon that I found.

When connecting the two items my original thought process was based off of the idea of a bow and arrow, but after hearing a few ideas during our class critiq I decided to focus more on playing the idea of the tension that the objects created.
I was actually satisfied with this idea because it deals with a very important concept in Architecture and design which is tension.
