1.1 Participation and Discussion: Analysis

• How are pencil marks used to convey the design of this project?

• Look at the marks and study how value is used to lead the eye around the drawing. Share your thoughts.

• The artist who did the drawing was more of a pencil value sketch that had a lot of value with the building as well as the trees with diagonal lines, loose sketches (light and dark), and adding dark and light contrasts from the building entrance to the sidewalks. I notice that the amount of shading involved inside and outside the building was because of bringing natural light from the upper - story of all interior spaces to the ground floors with darker shades of grey as a focal point for this drawing. The canopy roof over the building entrance looks as if the artist wanted the outside environment to make it feel naturistic and welcoming for guests to enter. The structural beams are drawn at the same length but, the top and bottom of those beams resemble the shading scale from the darkest to lightest. The trees shown on both sides of the drawing are a bit loose but, provide a sense of where the leaves are and the detail of incorporating biophilia of making the outdoor environment less stressful. A lot of cross - hatching is involved from the interior space of the building with grey marks coming together to make it look realistic similar to a charcoal drawing. Because of the seamless transition of the lighter marks of the glass windows to the W - shaped lines in the middle as an emphasis of tonality and the presence of having a developed sketching outside.
