Buildings Behind RMIT

Our last ‘ideation’ class tonight with Nick had us getting out pens, paints and any other drawing material we had. Working like this has now become lots more fun than I found it to be at the beginning of the semseter having certain hangups about my drawing skills.

We had to bring along images of urban landscapes either from photos, post cards or magazines and a postpak box of medium size. Nick gave us post card size paper to make 4 drawings each with different specifiactions.

I most enjoyed the final piece which required layering of material, in effect collage I suppose. Whether it be on paper and in drawing or making objects in the jewellery studio I do like to combine materials and incorporate various forms of contrast.

Here some photographs I took

CRANE

Building Detail Windows & Piping

I really like contrast in this image and the presence of metal.

Russel Street - Old Police HQ Building

This is an amazing building in the Art Deco style, a large building of bricks some thing like this would never be built now. I find the open windows interesting & intruiging and would like to go inside the building.
