Cityscape Evaluation

 

Describe the mark making?

I used a scalpel to carefully cut through the black sticky back plastic. making sure i had a cutting mat. I took care of doing the middle building especially by using different lines and the thickness of the shapes and putting detail into it. the direction of the way i cut affected how it turned out to look,

Describe the composition you have used?

 I looked through architectural magazines and looked on the internet for buildings with perspective or buildings which had interesting shapes and forms. I decided to put the building which I liked the most which was the middle building in my composition (Modern Architecture Arena) because of the way it was shaped and how the windows go smaller towards the side. I decided to put the Modern Skyscrapers Office Building Exterior on the left because i liked the way the perspective of the building starting of big and getting gradually smaller towards the top. Finally the Australian Modern Home Exterior Building Front Facade on the right because i thought the shapes at the bottom of the roof really looked nice the positioning of it and also the way it had really difference shapes.

What inspired you initially?

When i started drawing buildings in perspective in my sketchbook it made me think of what kind of perspective buildings i like and it made me do some research into combining 2 buildings as in having them together with different parts of perspective. Which made me then go look for buildings on the internet which had perspective shown in a different way compared to how i normally thought it looked like .

In what ways have your ideas and techniques changed?

My ideas changed when i got to the building on the left i decided to leave out the longer lines and the parts where the windows got smaller because i thought it would be hard to cut smaller parts espically when they all have to meet at one poiut at the top. Espically when peeling of the black sticky back plastic. Secondly i decided to create a sort of bumpy effect with the windows to make them stand out more.
