My first job is to figure out what I want the words in my drawing to be. The first thing I thought of is to find some good song lyrics so the first song I looked at is “tonight we are young” by FUN. I decided to use the first verse of this song which I really enjoy. From here I wanted to choose a picture that went along with the lyrics. One of theses was the line “my friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the empire state” I thought this would be a good starting point to do a building in three point perspective which looks like the empire state building and do the lyrics as the walls of the building. I started by drawing the building in three point perspective then I started putting the lyrics in and I varies the size of the letters on each line so they would fit the best I got about halfway down the building with lyrics when I decided that I wanted something a bit more complicated than a single building which is pretty easy to do I decided to try something different and more complicated.
This is the next project for my art class. It is to be a block print on a linoleum block. The design is going to be words such as a word, a quote, or song lyrics. When these words are decided upon I am going to choose a picture that represents these words and this word or words are going to become that picture we were shown some examples such as an astronaut made out of the words of Neil Armstrong and the names of astronauts and missions. Another example is a shark which was made up of the words bite me or a hand made up of the words peace. We are going to make our own designs and then carve this out of a linoleum block and then make block prints.
