This week was a focus on classical interior architecture, we went to the Alhambra theatre in Bradford to draw the highly detailed interior of the theatre. The first sketch I did was a forty five minute sketch of the booths over looking the stage. This sketch shows the composition very well as the focal point of this sketch is the booths over looking the stage and focusing on the corner of the room allows you to see a number of perspectives throughout the sketch. The dark dominate lines in the sketch lead the eye around aspects of this sketch that are most pleasing and defines the main shapes seen from this perspective. The shading give areas of the sketch a sense of a different texture and it breaks up the lines into different objects seen in the sketch.
The detail included helps to pick out the classical features in the interior of the theatre, like the columns, stage, balcony and booths. This sketch uses negative space effectively because the whitest areas of the sketch imply that there is space there and the shaded bits show the most textured and darker objects. The centre of interest is the booths so this has the most detail because the viewer will be focusing mainly on this area of the sketch. Not too much detail is included because that would distract the eye from the overall theme of the picture and enough is there to give an indication of what the complexity of the sketch is.
