I rolled my dice and fate dealt me internal, balance, and lines. I had dealt with balance before, it's difficult to not use lines and internal can be taken several ways so I felt relatively comfortable going into this project. While I don't think my humble graphite stands up to my classmates previous posts I think I came out with pieces relavent to my instructions.
I haven't drawn much over the summer so I kept both pieces relatively geometric. What I liked about this project was the chance I had to experiment with balance. In both pieces I tried to use a different method of artistic balance, having heavier objects force light ones higher (like literally being on scales) rather than methods like having several small objects in the middle balancing one large object to the side. I'm not sure if its a new idea, but I thought it was interesting.
I used the same methodology I always use when working on a project: think for a long time on it and get whatever result I'm after relatively quickly. Obviously "Blocks" is the more geometric of the two. I tried to keep it pretty uniform and solid. I'm not sure I succeeded.
With "Podium" I tried using minimalism, as I think it's called, wich was fun since I haven't realy used so much implied surface before.

Compositionally you are on the right track, but you are correct somewhat, not that your work doesn't compare in technique to others in the class, remember y'all are all on different levels, but I feel more that it does not compare to past work you have done.
Although line was one of your elements, these pieces will be stronger if you add shading to create form, the lines will then be implied lines.
Drawing is not as easy as riding a bike. You can't be away from it for awhile and expect to pick it back up right away, with practice and time you will gain the skill level to do work that you will be proud of.
