This was the first "negative" drawing that I've ever attempted. I think it was decently successful. Although, I was covered in black halfway into drawing. Our teacher informed us that our boogers may be black by the end of class, this was a bit perturbing. I had fun doing this drawing, however I wish there was a less messy way. :)

      We had a project in our Principles of Interior Design class that called for us to watch the 1958 movie classic Auntie Mame. In the movie, her living and foyer area changed layout, design, and furniture styles numerous times. We were required to study Mame's likes, dislikes, and needs throughout the movie. We had to study how she used the rooms, what the existing layout and obstacles were,

   As part of our IDES major, we have to take a certain amount of art and art history classes. Here are some very basic things that I have started doing in class this semester. I've never had an art class since high school, and even then...it was SO basic as learning primary colors. CLICK THUMBNAIL FOR LARGER VIEW

   This is a little slide show of some pictures taken at the 2010 Nashville Antiques and Gardens Show. We were encouraged by our professors to pay the $15 dollar entrance fee and observe all the different items. Initially, we all were skeptical about the trip. It's not like high school, where a big giant yellow school bus drags us all along at once. Sometimes carpooling can be a headache.

       This was our "Element" exercise that we had to do in our Elements and Principles class.   The exercise started with us coloring in 7 squares on a 4 x 4 grid piece of grid paper. Off of these shaded in squares we had to build a 3D structure. Then, incorporate an element or principle of design into our structure. Mine was "line," made very visible in the layout and decoration of structure

   This is my first attempt at creating a "building." We were given specific instructions on the number of rooms, min/max sizes, uses, limitations, and were assigned facade dimensions. It was our job to make the layout according to its intended use. We had to create floor plans, obliques, and axonometrics for the building in our drafting class. I will post more pictures of this project later on.
