Interpreted Journey – Progress – Project Three (2310)

| johnson.7643

Instruction

Continue progress on the Interpreted Journey project.

 

Purpose

Reach towards finishing the project.

 

My Interpretation

Because I decided to have my scenes set at night, I knew I needed to either have extremely heavy pencil-shading or use my micron pens. I have never been a fan of shading, often preferring intense line work, so I decided to give a go at using the pens. I never used them before this project, so I spent some time drawing some very quick sketches to allow myself to explore if I wanted a black sky or not, if lights have an “aura” around them, and how light and shading is impacted by using different line weights of the pens.

Interpreted Journey – Thumbnails – Project Three (2310)

| johnson.7643

Instruction

Create at least 25 thumbnails (in a 16:9 ratio) from your Journey to Treasure drawings using various compositional techniques. May use one of three themes: flying, investigating an alien planet, or being chased.

 

Purpose

Explore different angles, frames, and compositional devices to observe where your eye looks in the context of your Journey to Treasure drawings. Iterate many different versions.

 

My Interpretation 

I decided to follow the “being chased” theme as I thought it seemed most fun, and I could use a lot of one-point perspective, which is one of my favorite ways to draw and show off detailed line work. I know that I want to expand my skills and try to not only use pencil shading but pen shading as well, exploring texture and shadows with darker blacks rather than different shades of gray since I wanted the drawings to take place at night.

2D to 3D Orthographic – Further Progress – Project Three (2110)

Instruction

Continue progress on the 2D to 3D orthographic project.

Reach towards finishing the project

 

My Interpretation

I have completed the plan/elevation views and pasted them to the final board size that will be used. I also used a ton of various templates throughout my process to help aid the iterative process and quick flow of ideas when cutting out of Bristol board.

2D to 3D Orthographic – Drafts – Project Three (2110) necessary

| johnson.7643

Instruction

Building off or your chosen plans/elevations, create drafts of a 3D structure. Keeping to the word it was originally based off of is no longer necessary. Make the drafts out of Bristol and constrained 3” by 3” square on the used face.

 

Purpose

Develop the ideas from the orthographic drawings into 3-dimensional objects. Prepare for the final submission.

 

My Interpretation

My goal was to focus on each draft to be unique in its own way. The first being extremely grounded, heavy, and angular, the second being smooth, organic, and complex, and the third being fragile, tall, and dainty. I used templates so I could quickly try out iteration after iteration and aid in the process of creating nets for the objects.

2D to 3D Orthographic – Orthographics – Project Three (2110)

| johnson.7643

Instruction

Create a 3″ by 3″ (1:1) orthographic drawing of three of the 2D words used from the previous project. Using the iterations from your perspective drawings, create a front, side, and top view of the to-be 3D object.

 

Purpose

Use the measurements and ideas as a template for cutting out the Bristol board when assembling the drafts and final projects.

 

My Interpritation

I knew going in I wanted a tall and thin object, and organic object, and a ridged object. I followed some iterations from my perspective drawings, but the organic (curved) one is completely new to this set. These designs still later changed as progress went on.

2D to 3D Orthographic – Perspective Drawings – Project Three (2110)

| johnson.7643

Instruction

Create four separate iterations of three of the previously created words from the 2D orthographic project. Allow them to exist in 3D space, limiting the extrusions to either a plan or elevation of the 3D interpretation that is identical to it’s orthographic.

 

Purpose

Get an idea of how your 3-dimensional forms would look and iterate different ideas.

 

My Interpretation

I experimented with the idea of extrusion and recession as well as forms subverting expectations from what one may presume from the plan/elevation. All these iterations were based off of plan views, but one was completely changed later in their process.
