DRAWING FUNDAMENTALS
Tesselation
Objectives:
Basically, to make our own tesselation from scratch. [stress]
I struggled.
In the end, though, i had a design that looked like sleep birds; so cute.
final product: "dozing doves"
Identity
Objectives:
people. me? cannot draw people but...
Anyways, i had to draw a self-portrait and half the face contained symbols that resonated with who I am.
for the symbols, i chose the olive branches, doves, peace lilies, film, and shutter icon.

Cymatics
Objectives:
We were given 4 songs to listen to and illustrate using shapes and lines, forming patterns, etc.
the four songs:
- “They Don’t Know” by Chronixx
- “Soul Sacrifice” by Santana
- “Flight of the Bumblebee” by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov
- "Also Sprach Zarathustra" by Richard Strauss
After making 4 individual illustrations of this song, we then had to combine those 4 designs.
“They Don’t Know” by Chronixx
“Soul Sacrifice” by Santana
“Flight of the Bumblebee” by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov
"Also Sprach Zarathustra" by Richard Strauss
final design - combined
