Drawing, Architecture, & PhotographyJing Guo

DesignsThis set contains six design works that were done in several media including oil, charcoal, ink, water color, latex paint and gouache. I like to work in a variety of media and styles, and because of the unique characteristics of each individual material I would choose the best medium to use before starting every single work of mine.

Still LifesThis set contains still life paintings and drawings. Perhaps mundane, still life drawing is the very basic of any design art, including architecture. Capturing a scene with paint like a photograph is not only a convenient skill, but is also the fundamental tool to help me to create and to innovate. In this set, still life drawings were done in multiple media including water color, ink, charcoal, and color pencil.

The PianosThis set contains a series of paintings and drawings on the common theme of a piano. As my favorite thing to do during my free time, playing the piano is the best way to express myself, and that is why this set was created. Like drawing, music can be realistic or abstract. In this set I developed several paintings and drawings of my favorite instrument-piano through different media, and these pieces can best portray how I look at a piano.

The 6 by 6 Cube

Operational word: Rotation.The highlight of this cube is that the lines never end at a point and each line connects to another to create a rotating space.

Using Photoshop to merge six sides of the final cube creates a sense of hierarchy and interesting spaces.
