Reaction to “House on Loon Lake”
Size: 21” x 24”
Medium: White Paper, Tracing Paper,
String, Pencil, Yarka Willow Charcoal, Rembrandt Black Pastel
Artist Statement: At first, this
was an in class assignment that required us to listen to the audio track “House
on Loon Lake” (Link to audio track - https://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/199/house-on-loon-lake
). While listening in class I just begin drawing the first thing that heard and
so on. When I listen to the type the second time and I began to think that this
entire house was just one all big mystery and there were so many clue come from
it. For the second drawing I went with the theme of a detective board with having
the drawing of the house outline in white string and having recreated pictures
drawn on tracing paper on top of the house, that way you can still see the it’s
all about this mysterious house. Originally I did want to burn the edges of the
tracing paper with the pictures on them to give it more of an old and rustic
feel to them but I came to find out that tracing paper burns quicker than
regular paper.
Colorful House
Size: Approx. 21”x24”
Medium: White Paper, Shaving Cream,
Food Coloring, Rembrandt Black Pastel
Artist Statement: This was another
in class assignment in the beginning, for ten minutes (although it felt like an
hour for me) was to draw our house based on memory. This meant we were in complete
darkness, not allowed to look down at the paper and not to lift you pencil off
of the paper. I ended up making more of a blue print of my house rather than
walking though it in first perspective. Then we had to take that same drawing and
redo it but using non-traditional art materials. The nontraditional method I
went with was marble with shaving cream (DIY Tutorial- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6dfkTIqCqo).
Each piece of paper represents a certain area in the house such as the big one
in the center is the living room and the smaller one on the left are the
bedrooms.
