Week 9

This is a 50 min sketch of the National Media Museum.

The focus is was to show the modern architecture through the bold and simple lines of the buildings design. The drawing displays some good use of shading following the sweeping curves of the wall. There have been attempts to add depth to the drawing by varying the tones of the shading that follows the ceiling and steel girders. There is also an impressionistic sense of the windows in the drawing portrayed through the use of lines that vary in in distance and weight.

Problematic areas for this drawing would include some of the shading. It has not worked well in this sketch due to poor technique. Also there is a bad sense of perpective in this drawing as the ceiling seems larger as it gets closer to the viewer, yet the box like units in the bottom of the picture decrease in size as they draw closer.
