The creative project consisted of ten drawings, as well as research, documentation, and written evaluation. These drawings involved the surface manipulation of elements, physical and implied, within the two-dimensional plane.The drawings evolved from relatively conventional methods utilizing non-traditional materials to more experimental processes employing traditional media. A very strong emphasis was placed on the development of appropriate geometric and bio-morphic, plastic elements. The actual process of drawing was give primary focus in the refinement of style.This creative project provided many new insights into the manipulative properties of various materials upon the imaged surface.

The creative project dealt with the artist creating a vocabulary of images derived from past and present cultures in order to create a series of highly personalized anthropological narratives. The artist intended the narrative drawings to invoke archaic moods rather than summon literal responses.The accomplishments of this creative project were further development of the artist's personal imagist style, success in relating personal anthropological observations through narratives, and progress in media experimentation. By creating more contrast between forms, by varying value against value and deep space against shallow space, the artist was able to achieve superior compositional studies. / Department of Art
