Personal style. It varies on many levels from one artist to the next. Comparing and contrasting personal style in various classes I’m taking is quite amusing. It is fun to see and appreciate styles that are different from mine. For example, in Design 1, we make quick sketches every lecture. Then, in small groups we hold our drawing pads up and look at each other’s work. Some have a very realistic style, some focus more on the gestalt of the image and leave out realistic details, some use bold confident line strokes, some make quick dashes to form the image. It’s interesting to compare such different personal styles.
In my landscape architecture drafting class, we do the same comparison and contrast with our work. In this drafting class, we are all learning the same techniques and skills, but the outcomes of our projects vary from designer to designer. Some students take a more technical approach and some go for a more artistic portrayal of the assignments. Either way, all of these sketches and projects portray the same assigned image, but are depicted how each individual interprets it and add their own style to their work. We all work with the same content, but form it on our papers in our own ways.
