For my second summer assignment piece, I knew that I wanted to work with ink on paper. I've never made an actual full piece with these materials, but I had experimented with them in my daily drawings (see below). The way I like to use markers is to stylize the thing I'm drawing, and then color it with large blocks of color. Since my sculpture is drawing from my experiences in Italy, I wanted my second piece to draw from my time in India. This India trip, I experienced a lot of my own culture and heritage in ways I hadn't before; enjoying food I used to dislike, meeting cousins I didn't know I had, and staying in the village for a week. Based on one of my Heart pieces from the Head and Heart project, I knew that I liked depicting nature scenes. When originally brainstorming, I was going to draw an auto rickshaw in front of a floral/ nature background, which you can see in my sketches, but I quickly found that it didn't feel right because it felt too much like I was trying to draw a clean silhouette. I looked through my google photos and found these two pictures from the village I stayed in. The greenery and simplicity of the house stood out to me and I decided I wanted to depict that in my own stylized way instead (as opposed to drawing from life like in my daily drawings).
