About 5 years ago, my scholar gave me an assignment about abstraction, and she told me that you’ll need to choose 1 building. Whichever you want. And after that, you draw this, uh, picture without any detail. Because this is the main point of, uh, abstraction. Actually, that was very tough question. Uh, actually, that was very tough assignment for me because I have never done it, uh, before. And, uh, I want to to choose one of the uh, buildings of Wapisman and, uh, the building were located in Spain. I decided to only use 33 things, uh, on the buildings. And first one, first of all, is the buildings, uh, shape and windows and stairs. And I decided to use, um, just horizontal and vertical lines without any details. And rectangles because the building’s shapes looks like where rectangles and also it is very easy to use rectangle because of the stairs window and the building’s main shapes. And after that, I don’t I didn’t want to use colors because, you know, um, adding colors means you have details, and I don’t know. I didn’t want to do this. And that’s why I decided to only use black and white colors. And, um, additionally, I just used, teeth and large lines. Uh, you can and when you look at the differences between the lines. You can understand the what is the dominance on the buildings, and it’s it makes me very easier to understand. That’s why I decided to do this. Yeah. I I I’m very happy to do this because, um, that was very enjoyable. And, also, I can’t, uh, I have a chance to learn so many things about abstraction, and I’m very thankful.

About 5 years ago, my teacher gave me an assignment on abstraction. She instructed me to choose a building of my choice and draw a picture of it without any details, as that was the essence of abstraction. This assignment was quite challenging for me since I had never attempted anything like it before. I selected a building in Spain called Wapisman and focused on depicting only 33 elements of the building such as its shape, windows, and stairs. I opted to use horizontal and vertical lines along with rectangles to represent these features, as the building mainly consisted of rectangular shapes. I deliberately avoided using colors because I believed that adding colors would introduce unnecessary details. Therefore, I stuck to using only black and white colors. Furthermore, I incorporated thin and thick lines to differentiate between the elements and emphasize the building's structure. This approach made it easier for me to grasp the concept of dominance in the composition. Overall, I found this activity very enjoyable as it allowed me to explore the principles of abstraction and learn new techniques. I am grateful for the opportunity to engage in this creative process.
