Charcoal 1:1 Drawing

I had fun doing this drawing although i had a hard time doing the shadows and the creases of the shirt. 

Critique - Jarrod van Driel

These photographs are of most of my project work pinned up before the initial critique. I have organised my work in a logical order so it can be easily followed.

The critique went well and I learnt how my project was successful and what areas I could improve on.

Contour Site Model and Mass and Void - Jarrod van Driel

Firstly I made the basic shape my contour sire model would be. It is only of a section of my contour drawing as I wanted to show it in detail. If the contour site model had been of the whole contour drawing there would have been too many small parts.

I raised the base of the model to allow the mass and void model to look as though it was being sucked into the hole.

                            

The mass and void is made to represent the angular spaces which were created in my wood model.

I then revised and improved my contour site model and mass and void. The hole in my contour site model now has a defined depth. It is still a deep hole that sinks into the landscape. The mass and void has now been inspired from my paper model and now is made to look as though it is coming up from the lower contours. It better represents the curvaceous form of my original ink blot and contour drawing. It blends in and is harmonious with the contour site model.

Section Drawings - Jarrod van Driel

These 3 x 10 section drawings are of my paper, wood and wire models. The section cuts are at equal intervals through the model. The sections show the cut and all the remaining model left behind them.

Wood Model Sections

Wire Model Sections

Wire Model - Jarrod van Driel

These wire model trials are based off the interior spaces from the acetate model. I have used different thicknesses of wire to represent the different line weights used in my contour model. This helps to relate the model back to the drawing. The wires show how the interior spaces within the acetate model could be created.

The final wire model shows the shapes of the contours and how they connect to create interior spaces. They help to show the complexity of the contours and their curvaceous nature. The different thicknesses of wire represent the different line weights from the contour drawing. The wire was easy to bend to clearly represent the contours.

Paper Models

These paper model trials are based off the interior spaces from the acetate model. I have used paper to create different forms to show connecting contours and possible interior spaces.

My final paper model clearly relates back to my curvaceous ink blot and contour drawing. The pieces of paper show how contours can connect and create interior spaces.

Wood Models - Jarrod van Driel

These wooden model trials are based off the interior spaces from the acetate model. I have used the wood to show connections between different enclosed contours on the acetate model. I started using wire to bind the wood together then later moved on to using glue instead. This is because I wanted to keep my model in the purest form as possible.

The final wood model shows how enclosed contours in the acetate model can connect and create interior spaces. Since my contours are mostly curvaceous it was difficult to use straight wood to represent the contours.
