\/><\/a>Leon Kossoff<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This week I decided to tackle the structure of a building. I switched back to micron to gain finer and smoother control. This comes with the opportunity for me to first make more gentle and suggestive marks at first, to indicate structurally outline, then move in with the bolder and affirmative lines for details and correction. I also included a few prospective studies to help me understand the irregularity of the building&#8217;s form. The CCTV tower turns out to be slanted, even before perspective skews it. The vertices had an inclination rather than being perfectly normal to the ground. It turns out even if I used to see it every day back when I lived in Beijing, I have no idea of its exact form unless I make a visual study of it.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoyed this kind of drawing a lot more than I thought I would&#8217;ve. The switch of the medium was uplifting since I no longer have to worry about control over ink volume. However, the switch does come with a drawback of less vibrant lines as well as reduced confidence both in line-quality as well as my decision making, inherent to the fast-paced nature of micron.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>References:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/visual-arts-2101-spring-2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/364\/2020\/04\/merlin_166181697_6dcd4f16-14d5-483f-b444-aa71b4a46927-superJumbo.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[535]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-550 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/visual-arts-2101-spring-2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/364\/2020\/04\/merlin_166181697_6dcd4f16-14d5-483f-b444-aa71b4a46927-superJumbo.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" srcset=\"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/visual-arts-2101-spring-2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/364\/2020\/04\/merlin_166181697_6dcd4f16-14d5-483f-b444-aa71b4a46927-superJumbo.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/visual-arts-2101-spring-2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/364\/2020\/04\/merlin_166181697_6dcd4f16-14d5-483f-b444-aa71b4a46927-superJumbo-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/visual-arts-2101-spring-2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/364\/2020\/04\/merlin_166181697_6dcd4f16-14d5-483f-b444-aa71b4a46927-superJumbo-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/visual-arts-2101-spring-2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/364\/2020\/04\/merlin_166181697_6dcd4f16-14d5-483f-b444-aa71b4a46927-superJumbo-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/visual-arts-2101-spring-2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/364\/2020\/04\/merlin_166181697_6dcd4f16-14d5-483f-b444-aa71b4a46927-superJumbo-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/visual-arts-2101-spring-2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/364\/2020\/04\/merlin_166181697_6dcd4f16-14d5-483f-b444-aa71b4a46927-superJumbo-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/visual-arts-2101-spring-2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/364\/2020\/04\/OMA-CCTV-building-Beijing_dezeen.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[535]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-551 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/visual-arts-2101-spring-2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/364\/2020\/04\/OMA-CCTV-building-Beijing_dezeen.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"468\" height=\"468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/visual-arts-2101-spring-2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/364\/2020\/04\/OMA-CCTV-building-Beijing_dezeen.jpg 468w, https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/visual-arts-2101-spring-2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/364\/2020\/04\/OMA-CCTV-building-Beijing_dezeen-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/visual-arts-2101-spring-2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/364\/2020\/04\/OMA-CCTV-building-Beijing_dezeen-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 468px) 85vw, 468px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; X See my remarks about this Leon Kossoff drawing in my comment.
