Tracing Paper Sketches






These tracing paper sketches show other possible ideas for my final project as we explored the process of abstracting form.  The inspiration photo is placed under the sketch to show how my forms began to take on abstract shapes.

As part of an in-class exercise, we placed tracing paper on top of our photos tracing the form created by nature through our photos.  We then took the form and abstracted it to create a nonrepresentational rendering of the object in nature.

I found this process rather therapeutic and something that sounded insane but that actually made a lot of sense.  It is a great strategy to use as inspiration for future art projects.
