Week 6: Landscape, Angles in Architecture

















This piece is a display of a landscape, including the angles of the architecture surrounding it. The structure of the overall piece is well done, but there are instances of lines that should be more straight, particularly on the roof and base of the building. There is also a slightly too crowded element at work in the window shade frames, the lines here are messy, and could have used a much more defined pencil stroke, as opposed to the cluttered strokes the artist used. Not much shading is present, which presents a lack of depth to the whole image. There is a nice focus on angles present in most of the outer bulding, aswell as the left sided grass area. More care could also have been taken to clean up the scene somewhat, with the smudges detracting from the picture, rather than enhancing it, as is sometimes the case with sketches. This mainly comes down to a poor choice in pencil. The architecture as a whole is a little uneven, and more effort should have been made to make sure the different sections of the building had the right proportions.
