Project #2: The Range Project Proposal

My approach to this project is to revolve the theme around a building. I would like to use this art work in my Architecture Portfolio, so relating it to a significant piece of architecture seems like a good idea. I am really interested in the stained-glass at the Norte Dame Cathedral in Chartes, France. I like the geometry of the shapes and the colors used. For the project, I would like to draw four images of the stained-glass. The first in graphite, the second in charcoal, the third in pastel, and the fourth in water colors. My intention is for the viewer to focus more on the shapes and the colors used on this stained-glass, rather than the intricate details that are within the outlines.

Various Modern Artists who make stained-glass: Joseph Dwight, Scotty Griffin, and Andrea Kelter. (http://www.aisg.on.ca/index.shtml)
