Drawing 102

In the spring I had Tim Lane once again, but now as my Drawing 102 professor.  He really understood me and my artwork and I like to think that he helped me improve a lot and heightened my self-esteem. Drawing 102 involved the use of color and was a more conceptual class than 101. Unfortunately Tim is extremely unorganized and I haven't gotten back all of my work from 102, but here is a sampling.

Drawing 101

Recently I have been looking over my artwork from high school and my college portfolio and all I can say is, why did I ever think that I had any remote talent. Some of the stuff was just terrible. But, thanks to the wonderful teaching of Tim Lane I realized that I always showed potential, but that I've never had any direction. Here are my best works and biggest projects from Drawing 101, a class that is defined as an introduction to representational drawing only using black and white. The change from how I had been drawing and what I'm now capable of is vast, and I really must thank Tim's quirky teaching and encouragement.

Freshman Year

Well, freshman year dealt with basic principles of design. Thus, I had to take 2-D Design, 3-D Design, and Drawing classes. 2-D Design was definitely my least favorite of the classes and I feel that a lot of the work is tedious and doesn't give room to show creativity or imagination. But I have the best pictures so far of my 2-D Design work so here is an exploration into the world of 2-D Design, as taught by Ron Laboray, an interesting man with extremely conceptual tastes, who is definitely not a morning person.
