Exemplar 2 - Kimbell Art Museum by Renzo Piano


The Kimbell Art Museum section is a good example of a hand drawn section, which I would prefer as a drawing method. The main form and structure of the building is shown with clear, heavy lines, providing a clean outline for the design and boundary of the building. This is juxtaposed with the sketchy pencilled colouring that the surrounding elements are drawn in.

When it comes to colour, the details and objects in the foreground have much more detail and bolder colours, while the drawings become less defined to indicate that they are in the background. I would like to employ this method when using colour in my section, to be able to properly address the depth of the drawing.

The internal structural details are also as the previous exemplar has shown, greyed out and less prominent than the main outline of the building. I find that this style of artistic representation is a little more effective in that there is more texture to the drawing when being done by hand.
