(Project 9.1) Crowds

Pictured from top left clockwise are "Current," "Stagnant," "Unnerving," and "Prolonged Urgency." These four comprise attempts 1, 2, 3, and 5 of the first Architecture project of the new semester, which was to try and capture the form, space, and motion created by a moving crowd using gestural strokes (e.g., not looking at the paper but at the crowd.) We were told to use Conte for these, so I went the creative path and ground up two sticks of Conte to create finger-pigments. The drawings were created with one "dusted" hand while the other held a stick in order to represent moments where the people in the crowds started to meander. Overall I was pretty impressed with the way these four came out.
