Other Work
Presented below are various projects I have spent a sufficient amount of time completing during my collegiate career. As a student of both Shippensburg University and Liberty University, I have spent hours learning, creating, and working to perfect many types of artwork that will advance my skills in Interior Design.
​
While attending Shippensburg University, I completed ART 215, Color & Two Dimensional Art, which was then accepted as a course substitution for Liberty University's FACS 113.
One Point Perspective Drawing : Huber Art Center
Photos made into a black & white collage
Traced onto bristol board using light table and markers
Final one point perspective drawing of Huber Art Center
The objective of this assignment was to take something realistic and display it in a unique way with one, two or three-point perspectives and one type of medium. Elements and principles of art could also be included. The element Line and principle emphasis were used the most as some line weights are darker than others and various types of lines are used. Both organic and contour lines are used in the final image. The principle movement is also shown as this variety of lines helps the eye move across the drawing. The element space could arguably be considered as well as the lines appear to create a variety of space and depth within the image. Displayed below are the images that started this project which come from the exterior of Huber Art Center at Shippensburg University in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania. .

The images were then collaged on photoshop and edited to be black and white with a high contrast to make tracing easier. After this was done the paper was printed and traced onto tracing paper with a light board. This was then copied to bristol board paper and traced with various sized markers.
Renderings

Though a substitution course for FACS 113, ART 215 at Shippensburg University did not include rendering in any of the course projects. These elevations were hand rendered using colored pencils and grey tone markers.
Elements & Principles of Design
For this exercise, the goal was to display various types of elements and principles of design. Shown above are balance, shape, color, emphasis, and unity. The element color is specifically used as each shape has one colored shape in it. This could arguably be the principle of emphasis as well as it is easy for the eye to notice the singular colored shape compared to the other black shapes. The principle of balance is used in the way that each individual square contains six black shapes and one colored shape. Some of the shapes are symmetrical, however, most of them are asymmetrical which makes each one unique. The element shape is used as each image contains a variety of shapes within a square shape. Lastly, the principle of unity is shown in the way that each of the small shapes put together creates space and contributes to balancing the overall square shape.
These squares were created through Microsoft Word and Photoshop.
Color Theory

Poster containing variety of color schemes and patterns as well as elements and principles.
Color wheel exercise with complementary colors
ART 215 included many exercises demonstrating color theory and various color schemes in art and design. This was a three-step project that took hours to complete due to needing to find the right hues for each color. After creating each variation of color, color wheels were created and chromatic, muted, prismatic, and saturated colors were combined and displayed on a poster. A few elements and principles were also included in this project. The element shape is obviously shown as each rectangle contains a variety of shapes. The principle variety is shown as well through the difference in colors and shapes used amongst the rectangles. The principle rhythm is shown as each rectangle contains a large triangle in the bottom right corner which creates a pattern and rhythm across the board.
Paint, poster board, and a variety of markers were used to complete this project.
