Week 11 - Visual Journal
VISUAL JOURNALING
"Visual journaling is a creative way to express
and record life's experiences, feelings, emotional
reactions, or our inner world - visually and verbally.
Essentially, visual journaling can become a potential
key to the artmaking process.
Exploring our own thought process through visual
journaling is essential in a world that is in a state of
continuous change. Just as there are many ways to
express oneself artistically, there are many ways to
create visual journals. By committing to the visual
journaling process, one can learn how to access his/her
inner language of imagery and express it both visually
and verbally, while exploring the connection between
image and word. Through visual journaling one can
also become capable of articulating connections
between their own personal art-making experiences
and the works of master and contemporary artists."
Here are some examples.
Now, you status is a "Young Architecture Student". What are the characteristics as being so?
Keep five visual journals. It is due the next Monday.
Requirements:
1. It should be developed mainly based on drawing (with color) and writing. You could also do magzine clipping, etc. Be creative.

a. Shade/color with color pencil very thick and even. Make sure you can not see the white paper anywhere within your mask border box, except the white areas that you leave on purpose.
Homework 4:
In the next class, we will do more practice about color scheme and detailed drawing (micro study). Here's an example.
Please see more examples on textbook page 78, 84 and 85. We will use monochromatic, complementary, analogous, cool/warm color, triadic and rectangular color harmonies to draw small scale objects. So get an object ready, fruit, vegetable, daily life stuff, and bring it to class.

Homework 1 - Mask Design.
Requirements:
a. Design four masks. It's all about your design: layout on the paper, face shape, pattern for masks, colors, etc.
b. Use 3 to 6 kinds of colors in each one (I suggest you to use 4 to 5).
c. Give each mask it's life, i.e. characteristic, emotion, facial expression and even a gender.
d. Each mask should have a background (you decide the size and shape of the background) shaded by a color that has been used in another mask.

These are some examples. You are supposed to design as detailed as them.

Week 8 - Producing complete drawing
All homework is due at 10:30 am on the second class of the next week.
Homework 1 - Choose one drawing from below to draw.
Requirements:
a. Use ink, pen, black marker and 14x17 sketchbook. (If you want to, you can bring the picture that you choose to draw to photoshop, set a new file as the same size as your drawing paper, and copy the picture to the new file and "Ctrl+T" to adjust the picture. Once you set up the exact size you want, you can print it out from 9th floor. And trace it.)
b. Side boarder lines are 1 inch far from the paper edges. Same distance from the top and bottom paper edges. That means ther drawing should be exactly at the center of the paper.
c. Keep your drawing very clean.
