Something different
My first abstract art.

medium: charcoal pencils, graphite pencil and needle point paper.
Title: Life of an architecture student.

Most people don't actually understand this piece.
Being an architecture student, I decided to give an abstract pictorial view of the life of an architecture student.
It wasn't done to please the eye, it gives you a clue understanding of the life of an architecture student.
I'll try my best to explain this work in detail.

I always tell myself architecture is not hard, it's stressful.
It's stressful because you know what to do but there's just little time to accomplish it as an architecture student knowing too well you have other things in life to do.
Remember, you're not stuck to do only one thing in life (architecture).
Believe me, it's fun.
The drawing explains an architecture student trying to leave behind the old method of learning architecture which is the use of tee-square, scale rule, drawing board, etc to the modern way which is the use of architectural software, technological devices which aids the speed, perfection and makes the work easier.
But forgetting that the old methods of learning architecture serve as a basic to working with the software.
Even in this process, the student has other factors in life that is trying to push him down .
These struggles or processes are the stuff stealing most time from we students.

From the drawing, the student is trying to progress from the basic to the advance and easier way of learning but he's being delayed or pushed down by what he has encountered on his journey to success.
