During class last week, it became obvious that a lot of the things I intended to communicate in my series of drawings did not translate as well as I had hoped. I would like there to be a stronger link or narrative between each piece and I also want to show the different stages of the process of flooding. There was a really clear connection between the image of the boat and the boat in the fountain, but I’m not sure yet if I want to bring the boat into all of the drawings. Someone made a comment that the one with only the boat looks like a zoomed in version of the fountain drawing, so I might investigate that idea some more. Right now I am working on correcting some technical issues I had with perspective and direction of light. I realized that I can keep the same style I have been working with but make my drawings clearer so the viewer can understand what is going on. I’m making a series of smaller sketches to try to fix the problems and figure out if I would like my drawings to have a narrative based around the guys in the boat or if I should just stick with the different stages of flooding.
