Time Log 5: Senior Drawing

Total Hrs: 10

Alright, besides the thoughts about the project (which is daily! It's crazy how thoughts about this thing can be so consuming), I was able to get some photography. I took photos from a willing male model that is completely unassociated with AU, which is kind of nice just to have new models because sometimes the same ones get tossed around in the art department. I started working on 2 drawings from the photos I got. They will in the end be combined to be 1 piece because of the layering. I am pretty interested in it so far. I think it has pretty neat potential!

Whoops. Sorry, Dr. -! So this week I spent time THINKING about the project, sketching more possible thoughts, and barely tapped into photography. I think I'm going to try to take my own photos to work from for this project. I THINK (I know, a lot of "thinks") that I want to draw fruit (and they represent battered women & children). I want to draw the same piece being eaten by several different people over a period of time! So... obviously, the fruit will begin to be get smaller and deteriorate. This is an attempt at a physical representation the inner psyche of these victims. I have some preliminary sketches started.

WAY WAY WAY not as productive this week as I would've liked to be. I got caught up in other projects and life and work and definitely put drawing on the back burner. I did some more brainstorming and I bounced ideas off some friends. Their input is valuable to me. I also experimented with watercolour and transparent paper. It was pretty interesting. I'm not sure if I will use watercolour... maybe watercolour pencils! That might be the next direction I explore. I am still interested in open spaces (like rooms) and ruined fruit. This upcoming week, I would like to dedicate time to taking pictures to work from.

Brainstorming, researching, reading, sketching, buying, and drawing was my week this week. I went to Michael's and looked for velum... they were completely out of white velum... so I bought the next closest thing to it, pink. I like the strength is has, but I for sure need to get white when they have it in stock. I continued to draw on my tracing paper. I drew sketches of possible directions. These things interest me in relation to human trafficking:

- empty rooms

- 1/2 eaten/rotten fruit

- 1/2 figures of females

- totaled cars

I know... totaled cars is kind of random... but I kind of like it. We'll see. Still working with them conceptually.
