UC Berkeley: ARCH 11A: Visual Representation

For this project I was assigned the Egg Beater by Stuart Davis. I approached the image in a series of drawings and abstractions mining for spatial relationships in order to create an excavation model and then 2 final axonometric drawings.

11"x14"; Colored Paper and Pencil; Figure Ground

11"x14"; Pencil; Proportion and Geometric Analysis

11"x14"; Colored Paper; Color Analysis (Ways of reconstructing the painting using color to create new spatial and hierarchal relationships)

11"x14"; Colored Paper; 2nd Color Analysis (Look at inherent geometry of the 1st color analysis and pick 2 contours that go against the main 2 contours.)

11"x14"x4"; Chip Board; Excavation Model

11"x14"; Pencil; 2nd Plan cut at 3.5" (Analyze 1st plan cut and transform it so three formal spaces occupy the cut)

11"x11" & 11"x14"; Pencil; Vertical cuts of new horizontal cuts depicting vertical elements that form the 4 formal spaces

11"x14"; Colored Paper; Vertical Surface (a vertical surface to be put within the final axonometric drawing)

19"x24"; Pencil and Colored Paper; First Axonometric Drawing

19"x24"; Pencil and Colored Paper; Second Iteration of Axonometric Drawing

19"x24"; Pencil and Colored Paper; Process Drawing

19"x24"; Digital; Third iteration of axon (I wanted to now move away from conventions in visual representation and create a drawing that was similar to the original painting in its use of color and phenomenal transparency)
