Debris Drawing 3

 
Boxes and Beverage Container
 

 
Box Top and Gravel
 

 
Forming A Space Station
 

 
These items just reminded me of kooky space age items, so I went with a kind of Star Wars theme and ended up with Space Station Central.



Debris Drawing 4


 
Coffee Filters
 


Drying Filters
 

 
Gluing Together Filters
 

Clipping and gluing
 

 
When I looked at the coffee filters I immediately saw a flower. I just tried to see how I could assemble a flower with the odd shapes and started gluing them together until I had the end product which I liked a lot.  


Quick Challenges Marks



I drew a sinking economy.



The hand reminded of the old Indian greeting "How" so I took with the plight of the American Indian and drew the teepee, the tear drop and peace on the hand to convey sadness.



The lighthouse reminded me of seagulls so I went with a seagull.
 



The store logo reminded me of a bell tower so I drew the tower.
 



The question mark reminded of an ice cream soda so I went with it.
 

 






This was a post card with Happy Birthday on it but it wouldn't accept drawing so I sketched a cake on the back.


 
Dots made into balloons.
 
Merchandising reminded me of shopping so I went with the feminine accessories.

Debris Drawings 1 & 2

 
Bottle and can lid debris I found by a dumpster.
 
 
The more debris the better, in this case. 
 
 
In the end, I had the final kinetic arrangement of bottle caps and lids.


Debris drawing number two was collected at the beach, nature's own debris, seashells.
 


I gathered the shells together and started arranging them.
 
 
In the end I had nature's catalog of shells.
 
 
 


Shadow Drawings



When I thought of shadow drawings I immediately thought of sunset.  I went downtown and drove around until I found what I thought were the perfect examples of shadows, and highlights.  The following are what I found and photographed.
