In this unit, we were supposed to make a design for a carpet. We need to draw the design by using a black pen on a paper and the main idea for the design is to demonstrate the rhythm of the shapes. The design for the carpet must create some pattern and different kind of shapes no matter organic shapes or geometric shapes. Also, there must be some drawing with hatching and cross hatching in the design. Shading is also an important part of this design, we use pencils with different values to draw the shading part of the design.
For my design, I divided the whole paper to 4 equal sizes by using rulers. I drew 1 poker icon on each part of the paper which some of the shapes are all organic shapes. I shaded 2 of the icons on the diagonal side to make the whole design looks more comfortable. Also, I drew the hatching and cross hatching on the 2 parts of the design to shows this skill are important to my design. I drew some geometric shapes on the another part of my design. Mostly I drew circles on that part of the design, and I drew the circles with different sizes but with a pattern. I drew the circles from the largest and make the continuous circles become smaller and smaller. I use the same idea on the other side to make the pattern looks more balance and obvious on the whole design. Last, I drew a circle on the center of the design to make the 4 different parts of the design connected to each other and make the whole design looks more organize and related.
I think I did a good job on drawing the hatching and crosshatching part in my design because I make it looks organized and use this skill correctly. But I think I can still improve on drawing more shapes and pattern on my design to not makes my design too many space and too white. Also, the shading part is not good enough, I still need to use a more darker pencil to make the value looks more balance and better looking. Last, I think I can use pencil first to plan my design, so I won’t have too many errors on the final project and having an idea before drawing.
