For this assignment I chose to go to a public park close to my home which I enjoy spending time at rather to exercise with my friends, take a stroll, or go to the Farmer's Market on Sunday's.
I found a place to sit and observe my surroundings within the environment I was in, recorded all the sensory information I could take in: sight, sounds, scents, tastes, and textures for 30 minutes. After I drew for 30 minutes on site to create an imaginary artwork with the media of my choice.
I chose to use graphite as my medium because I felt that it best conveyed the vision I had for my artwork with incorporating the values and abstraction that I wanted depicted. The image is of an elevated view of the oak trees looking up from below. The pattern, movement and variety of branch thicknesses fascinated me and inspired me to draw and wonder about how it feels to be within nature at that height.
