The Niswonger Aviation Technology Building was recently built and dedicated at Purdue University. I completed a commissioned artistic drawing of this building, about 20 in. X 14 in. The drawing is unlike any other I have done.
Here is a description of what is going on in the drawing: The backgrounds have been done in black. The building and the clouds are primarily white, and thus “pop” out of the picture. The clouds are of unusual shapes and are drawn with solid lines, in character with the solid lines of the building itself. A black jet streams high into the sky, beginning to exit the top of a cloud.
The building itself can be seen at the Purdue airport. In person, you will note the reflective bluish colored windows of the building that set off the architecture of this contemporary building.
