Drawing One Final: Diptych Drawings

So this semester I took Drawing and Composition 1 and boy am I grateful. I thought I couldn't draw. Apparently I can, I just have to put in a lot of effort. But that's ok because he more you practice the more naturally it comes. The final drawing for this class is a "diptych" drawing which consist of 2 pages that are connected by being one large piece on 2 sheets or conceptually. Either way both parts should be able to stand alone as a work of art as well as be harmonious to one another.

The requirements:

• Effective composition development
• Accurate measurement of Proportin
• Contour line control and variation
• cross-contour lines
• perspective - the illusion of depth by any means necessary
• minimum size for each side is 18 X 12 inches, no maximum size
• can't be nonsensical or random
• completed project must be inked out, color is optional

So I started by using Google and Pinterest to see some examples of diptych drawings. Not all of the results were actually diptych but it started to give me more of a feel for what I am supposed to be doing. From what I've seen so far, I'm leaning more towards doing to related opposites, two parts of a story, or two different angles of the same scene. I'm not really feeling the one large piece idea but we shall see.

Tracking My Growth

So I created this blog to make a log about my learning experiences in college as an art student. I'm a Fine Arts major and Graphic Design minor. I'll track projects, experiments, events, and research. I'm starting it pretty late (I'm at the end of my third semester) but it's better late than not at all. Eventually I'll even create customized backgrounds and cover photos for all my social media outlets. So welcome to my blog and thanks for stopping by.
