  Week Nine  This week in the book we went over chapter eight which discussed doing interior renderings with the marker elements. I liked the task of sketching the drawing within the book. These images gave a good idea of shadows and different elements within the design. In the book it went over the different drawing styles, basic style. The basic style uses primary, secondary, and tertiary colors combined with neutral colors. The modern style which uses black, white, and gray as the main colors. Combined with complementary colors, this makes the drawing look simple and sharp. The classical style, this uses darker colors to present a quiet or elegant space. The natural style, this uses neutrals as the main with lighter colors. It presents a natural feeling within a space.  I liked the option to draw the space within different color systems. This gave me the opportunity to create a unique space.      This week we also went over research for the container hom...

 Week Seven       This week we went over the Principles of Design. I really enjoyed this lesson especially relating it to the container home and thinking about how I can implement these ideas into my design. Rhythm is the repetition, progression, transition, and contrast of the design. This is used to enhance an interior and can be applied to color, texture, shape, and pattern. The rhythm of a design can be used to direct you through the space. There are six types that we went over. The first being repetition, this can be rounded or balanced. This creates a cohesive design. Gradation is increasing or decreasing and is the height or color. Gradation leads you through the space. Contrast is the objects right next to another and uses color, shape, and size to give the dramatic feeling. Transition is the movement that can be felt from place to place. And the last is radiation which is used to form around a central axis point.      Proportion and Scale...

  Week Six       This week we talked about texture and how that can add to a drawing. We were challenged with the skill of sketching an interior and adding texture to the sketch. It is important in interior design to add texture to not only sketches but also real-life interiors. It effects the way a room feel and how it is perceived by an individual. This is how we can differentiate contrasting materials In this chapter there were two different medias introduced, sharpie and pencil.          In the book I found it interesting how they shaded and detailed the windows. It adds more complexity and interest to the drawing and helps to develop it. Windows have lots of levels of reflection and tonal value. In the book it says to use broad strokes, vertical and horizontal strokes, and underlining of stone and brick.      Throughout the book it gave really good examples of using texture in an interior sketch. I especially lik...
