(They are supposed to be viewed alongside each other, rather than below) 
The Drawing class taught a variety of interesting points which i never considered much before - the importance of different line thicknesses, logical arrangements and texture, where the illusion of different shades can be achieved through the density of strokes or dots.
My work is an exploration of all these forms, as i alternated between 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6 pens, and dotted the vegetation behind my section and elevation. Furthermore i have aligned my drawings according to the footbridge, which was the element of the House i found most dramatic.
The focus on the footbridge was also a major reason for the choice behind the photo i used for my 3D sketch, as it really draws viewers into the picture and towards the strong, structural form of the building. Therefore the photo does convey Botta's desire for his architecture to stand defiant and separate against the landscape. However at the same time, it works harmoniously with its environment and is extremely beautiful.
The only technique i didn't embrace from the experience, was freehand drawing of lines. Sadly my pedantic, neat and obsessed-with-detail nature meant that i drew everything with a T square rather than tracing, so that i could have the satisfaction of absolute precision.
For further drawings i will definately enhance the power of different line weights and achieve even more successful and logical layouts.
This drawing class introduced me to the technique of tracing or drawing on tracing paper! It was quite an interesting experience...again this perspective aimed to glorify the footbridge and i used normal ball point pens so as to avoid smudging. The hatching technique reinforces how different shades can be created through varying density of strokes.
