Visual Arts: Exploring Practices, Materials, and Techniques Project

This visual arts project explores various creative practices, materials, and techniques through different artistic mediums. The project includes mind maps, concept research, and creative responses using pencil, collage, pen, camera phone, and paint. It features drawings of hospitality-related themes like waitresses, travel agent offices, chefs, and serving domes, along with collages of travel destinations and luxury hotels. Photography captures Padella Restaurant and Big Ben, while paintings depict an omelette and a traveler. The project also includes artist research on Ferdinand Knab and Edward Hopper, with creative responses to their artworks. The final artwork showcases the culmination of these explorations, demonstrating a comprehensive understanding of visual arts processes and techniques. Desklib provides similar resources and study tools for students.

Pencil 1
I was inspired by continuous line drawings as it
contributed me to grow my creative abilities in my
career.
This art piece is depicting a waitress holding tray
which is considered as important part of
hospitality in hotels.
I have used single line continuous drawing
technique for drawing this picture of waitress
which is holding tray. This technique is used in an
effective manner for showing the clarity in an
effective manner.

Pencil 2
My second picture is based on travel
agent office layout which is considered
as important aspect in context to
hospitality. This has been drawn
through hatching technique which is
used for creating tonal or shading
effects with the aid of closely spaced
parallel lines in an effective manner.
This technique has inspired me in
making drawings in a free and
expressive manner where I can present
my thoughts about hospitality.
