Shape Project

This is my shape project entitled: Curiosity. I took the magazine picture I used for my line project, reduced it into its most basic form, and created abstract shapes. I drew about 20 different versions before I finally started figuring out what I wanted to do. Eventually I came up with a design concept, and that helped guide my design. With some more persistence I came up with my design. For my presentation, I told a story about Wendell the curious worm and his adventures exploring the world outside his dirt hole. My design concept was "Opposition in all things" meaning that sometimes we need to have hard, trying experiences to appreciate life's blessings. We need to be curious about the world around us to to gain experience and come to understand how good we have it.

What I learned: Come up with a design concept FIRST. Coloring is not always a fun. Second opinions, from reliable sources, can be very helpful. I can do hard things!

Line

My first project in the BYU-Idaho interior design program was about line. It was quite time consuming and labor intensive (my neck ached from bending over so I was two inches from my paper), but I am happy with how it turned out. My classmates chose my project as the "most successful" and it is now on display. I am grateful to know that my best can be the best.

Being my first project, it was a learning experience in many ways. Here are some of them:

Something as simple as a single like can impact an entire composition, for good or bad.

Details are what separate alright or pretty good from amazing.

Things take at least five hours longer than you expect.

While you can spend hundreds of hours on a project, you eventually need to stop and say it's done, or else you'll kill yourself.

Prayer works.
