My original drawing was far too simple. I decided to scrap my first idea and go for something new. I added a city and another island. The lake represents my name and how I am separated from my family but close to my friends.
I believe I did a decent job grasping the concept of this assignment. I feel like all of the different boxes connect the images inside of each other, as it was my goal to make the sounds seem like they’re fluctuating. This assignment helped me to clearly understand stocato and logato, and what they might sound like.
I believe that my cutting was a bit sloppy. It was my first time using an X-acto blade, and I struggled. I do feel that I was able to distinguish stable and ambiguous compositions decently.
The view from my living room window consists of buildings, trees, roads and cars. As a result, I see many straight and curved lines. Squares, circles, rectangles, and even triangles are within my view.
The giant tree in front combines both straight lines and curved. The cars contain both straight and curved lines as well, and have rectangular shapes. The wheels serve as the circles I see. Roads appear at an angle which look like triangles. The buildings hold straight lines and are shaped like squares, rectangles, cubes, and rectangular prisms, depending on the angle you look at it at.
