Drawing machine

I think Courtney took pictures of the stuff i did with the drill then with the spray bottle. If anyone else has any pictures of the drawing machine workshop I would love to see them!

What Am I?

I used to be pure, now I'm just plated. Get more value out of the out dated. No respect for the man who throws me on the floor like I'm outdated. One from many, out of many, Latin term you should learn. Small circle, but no small deed for the man on front of me.

Early Sketches From Life Drawing

I was going through my phone and came across a picture I had posted on my instagram when we first started  Life Drawing with our model Gabby.

Matt & Savannah's Drawing Machine

For this project Courtney instructed us to make drawing machines (ie. things that make marks that aren't with your own hands). The whole concept of this was for us to get out of the usual marks that we normally make. I was absent for the first day of the project, but when I came in for the next work day Matt and I began to use balloons that had paint inside of them. When we popped our first balloon it splattered every where so we switched it to putting the paint on the outside of the balloon. We also used a ball that was textured which was vibrating the whole time creating a swirl of lines.

Savannah's Evidence Piece

For class we had to bring in a evidence instillation to where it would make the viewer think about what happened here (or at least that is what I got out of it). These items were things that you will find on my living room coffee table. The items above in the picture ranged from cold medicine to social work homework to a bowl full of Kit Kats to a pink hookah to a bottle of empty Moscato to a variety of other things.

Self Portraits

LEFT: This is a self Portrait from an earlier post that is further along. I am still only using a mechanical pencil and I plan to work on more eventually.
                 
                                         RIGHT: This is a self portrait I made from looking in the mirror. First, I cut out the back of a sketch pad and stuck postage stamp stickers to cover the surface. Then i sketched my head, neck and shoulders with a fine point sharpie and painted with blue and orange watercolor. I was starting to notice the eyes were too big and my proportions were almost comical. I went with idea and the result of this unintended then intended style came out looking more like a character from Street Fighter rather than myself. But this can be a good thing.

EVIDENCE OF MARK MAKING: Stephen Deffet

I didn't do the Project right the first
Time, So ya here it is.
 I was in room 407 about a month ago working on a Function project when i spotted the materials from the mark making experiments our class did.  I put paint in the end of a straw and blew it out aimed at this paper over and over again.  I don't know why i made this. Most of this was very subconscious decisions.

For my evidence project in class, I had a similar composition of objects arranged in the room but now i have put them in an entirely new context.  The evidence was originally a homeless artist and that was dumb so now it's evidence of life on the road as a homeless person....or is it?

Description Figure Drawing: Stephen Deffet

To the left is the first figure drawing i kept out of many trials and errors.  Soon after i did the one on the right in a similar style/system.  I was given a piece of compressed charcoal to try and my first attempt is what you see in the bottom left picture.  After the black compressed charcoal started giving me trouble, i found some red and that is the bottom right picture.
