ELSEWHERE

Elsewhere is an artist collaborative located in downtown Greensboro. in order to experience the overwhelming effect of walking into a place like this, I have drawn different things shown below.This is a drawing I did of my space that I blocked off in elsewhere. I used a "sketchy style" because the whole place seems to portray that type of style. there are so many items that it is nearly impossible to draw every single detail in the space.
This is a photo of the space that I drew. in my opinion, my drawing is more successful than the photo of showing exactly what the space is about because the style I used is slightly more chaotic.
Last, I drew details in the space, because I felt that when looking at the space, my eyes would narrow in on one object that had memories for me. some of these detail objects I used to have as a child, and I feel this is what makes Elsewhere so unique.





The details I drew also needed some color, because elsewhere focuses on color quite a bit. therefore, I did a before and after of color on two objects. The objects with color are more successful because they portray the feeling of being in elsewhere. everything is a different color and my eyes always narrow in on objects with the most color.

Being in Elsewhere was a really great experience for me because I started looking at art differently. In high school, I stuggled with the idea of "what is art" and elsewhere seems to be a place that takes you out of the ordinary "art" style and gives you a different interpretation of art.
