Week 10 - Classical Interiors at Cartwright Hall

This first image is a study of the balcony area inside Cartwright Hall. This took approximately 15 - 20 minutes to complete. Although the drawing doesn't look as similar in real life the two pillars help create the shape and form as the depth implies that the tonal values used creates a contrast of shadow and light which in turn gives it its cylindrical effect. The drawing could have benefited from a better vantage point so that it would create more extra depth to the drawing giving it a more pleasing composition. This could have been achieved by standing further away from the pillars instead of right underneath them which would have then included a background as well as a foreground.

The second image is of the pillar connecting the archway inside of Cartwright hall. This took approximately twenty minutes to create using a graphite pencil. The pillar doesn't look accurate in terms of its proportions and form. The slight shading using the graphite pencil on the left hand side of the pillar gives the pillar a more cylindrical and 3-dimensional effect. The drawing could have benefited from being more complete and have some sort of contrast in tonal values to help show the depth of the pillar.
