Extraordinary Drawing

Originally I was inspired by some abstract/sketchy drawings for my extraordinary drawing. But when looking through the books Luis reserved for us to scan the ones I was inspired by, I came across this collage and decided I would change my drawing type to a collage.

I searched for more collage photography online and came across David Hockney. His photography focused more on distortion of the images than the above image that I originally found...a quality that I was really drawn to.


I drew a couple of quick perspectives of my addition with the original columbarium in the background, and this is the one that I chose to go with...
I then copied and cut up this image in many different ways to see what worked the best for what I wanted to portray in my drawing. I decided that long vertical strips worked best and help emphasize the weaving of my overhead structure. I then organized the strips and transferred them onto one sheet of paper and cut out the sky and where the existing columbarium is. I attached images of the existing building to each "strip" and then attached different images of the sky to emphasize the different strips.
