Figure meets Landscape
In my first fall semester at Parsons I joined the course drawing and imaging, where we explored, drew and learned about figure drawings, one point perspective, two point perspective and 3 point perspective drawings. We studied line weights and forms as well as tones and shades of black and white drawings. The mediums we used and explored were pencil and charcoal. For our figure landscape project we started off by drawing a variety of male and female figures. We were encouraged to draw the live figures in a boxy, abstract style and in a realistic, organic style, where we had the opportunity to deeply explore the form of the human body. We also used a “mapping” technique, with which we could elevate the volume of the body by using a variety of grey tone shadings.

I dress in darkness and create in darkness.
Darkness attracts me.
Darkness is simply beautiful.
