Man made construction art with inspiration from delaunay

I was doing some drawings based around man made constructions like buildings, bridges and landmarks for my art class.


I started off off searching for buildings and bridges and came across a nice picture of a bridge.
What i liked about it was that there was a reflection of the bridge in the ripple of the water.
I chose to do the drawing in pencil and practiced at doing a water ripple effect on a deprecate piece of paper before starting.
When I got a bit into the drawing I thought it looked cool with the fade at the side as there weren't much more with the image on the left.





I went out to my city centre to get some images ( I use some mor of the pics in my final piece ) and got a nice picture of The Coventry Transport Museum at night with all the lights glowing. which is really nice to see, go search it up.
I chose to do this in colour to show the light glowing.




I then found out about an artist called Robert Delaunay who lived in France and did some artwork on the Eiffel Tower.
I really liked one of the paintings he did and had a go at doing it myself.



I was inspired by this piece of artwork and decided to use the style in my final piece of work on man made construction. I used two of my pictures previously taken of a church and one of the flats.
Before starting the drawing I did a simple draft of what I would like it to look like.



This is what I came up with but in my final price I wanted it bigger and brighter and I wanted there to be a bit of originality to it.



This is what I got for my final piece, as you can see I added in more height to include the rest of the tower and more sky to have more behind the two buildings.
If u can notice ( mostly at the top of the tower ) I came up with the idea of the originality to bring out the buildings in a 3D way by using these double sided sticky squares. 

My Cubism Artwork

My drawing of Liubov' Popova - Two Figures.
The bottom left corner of her artwork which I cut off and drew, I didn't do the full piece.





In this other drawing I wanted to test shading in pencil to have a black and white look. - this is my original piece of work.




This next piece of work I took a picture of a jug, a wine glass and a bottle of wine.
I drew it and copied it making each one overlap one another. I then filled all the spare space with ruler lines to make a cubism effect.
I wanted to do it in colour and chose Red  ( my favourite colour ) and coloured it in with a effect of Dark to light in the colour.

It's a shame that the piece of work was lost when I went to collect my artwork, but it was completed.
