Crayon Rubbings




The goal of the crayon rubbings assignment is to find objects with a certain texture, symbol, and letters. Once you find something that catches your attention you are to use the crayons to create a relief. Then you must find one of the other objects to create an overlapping effect without distracting from any of the other objects.

This image to me shows someone who is in need of rest. The texture used symbolizes hard work. The handicap symbol shows someone who is tired and in need of some help. The letters that were used, say restroom which foreshadow the need for sometime off. The use of colors work really together to bring attention to the overall message.
This image calls for the attention that there is help if you need it. At AWC they offer a way for anyone with a disability to find a way to work with someone else such as finding a note taker or to be given extra time on an exam. AWC will work with you to figure out a solution to best meet your needs. This can be seen in the image by the use of symbol and text. The symbol used is a handicap sign and the text reads AWC. The texture that is used is very simple so that it does not distract from the message that it is being conveyed. The colors that were used are bold and therefore call attention to the notice.









What I learned: With this assignment I have learned to scan and transfer images onto photoshop to be resized.

  1. The first drawing was a bit hard for me to understand. I came to the conclusion that public schools do not discriminate people with disabilities, gender, or race. Her colors were well picked and the drawing was very neat. Another conclusion I came to for the first drawing is that I did see lots of “girly” colors, and the man in the middle made it seem as if they were part of the LGBT.
    The second drawing was a bit easier for me to understand. I came to the conclusion of females not able to work for Honda because I felt that the blue name of Honda discriminates against the woman symbol in pink. In other words, I see blue on top of pink, which makes me think that Honda prefers men over woman because of the color scheme.
    One more observation for the second drawing was that the public restroom can only be used by Japanese women because of the Japanese name drawn on top of the symbol.

  2. I really like your first image, I liked the colors that you used to make clear the symbol, the text, and the texture. Also, I liked how you used the symbol and overlapping with the text.
