Ordinary to Extraordinary Half Block Walk


For our first assignment, "Ordinary to Extraordinary" I felt that I critiqued the first failure to a tee. All of the mistakes made in the first piece were turned over and renovated in the second to fabricate a drawing that I am proud of. The second piece posses a continuity within the overall composition which the first attempt blatantly lacked. I think that the key to the success of the second piece is that I feel that I had enough of a picture in front of me to realize the image that I was grasping at initially. The second construction is ordered, not over worked, edited, and also more elegantly drawn without time constraints as well as a more considerable amount of patience as well as study within the duration of the drawing of the piece. I feel that it is more clearly defined, as well as refined, also the definition of the piece is more professional, as well as considerate, and finally there was more care placed in the final design of the second drawing while the first I look more as a "to scale" prototype. All and all I wish a few things, but not much could have changed in the end product. Mostly factors of time, media management and workplace environment.
In the piece I tried to capture the ever presence of the apartment I live in in by juxtaposing images from home, with myself as a character reference. Surrounded by daily norms, in the form of object and ritual I wanted to encompass what my mornings are derived of before the short jaunt down the block to class. As the brightness of the day hits me and the passerby's I'm am out and above the lock and key of my humble domicile, and with the short landscape passing me as I walk through a window of the mind's eye into a distant place I am still dreaming of coffee. All the while my cat awaits my return, keeping watch over 1302.
