Class #4 and HW#4

HW # 4 ---Isometric Drawing of your room (Due Thursday, April 2nd)



Step 1 : Use a measuring tape or yard stick to record the dimensions (in feet) of your room, the placement and size of furniture, etc. (it can be any room, but try to pick one that isnt too big)

Record the measurements is a simple diagram, like so:

Step 2: Now use your Architect's scale and your 30x60x90-degree triangle to begin to draw the dimensions of the room.

Use the 3/8 side of your scale (you will measure right to left!)

Step 3:

  Now begin drawing out the dimensions of your floor plan, all at 30-degrees from the bottom edge of the page. The width of the room will go 30-degrees in one direction, the depth will go 30-degrees in another.

Step 4: Rough in the entire floor plan of the room to make sure it all fits. Try to make the floor plan fit on the page with alot of room up top, so that you can add the Height dimension.


Step 5: Add the height dimension of the walls, which will be drawn at 90-degrees from the bottom edge of the page. Draw in just the back walls. The front walls are "cut away" so you can see in side.

Step 6: Draw any objects, windows or other details that you wish. I've even drawn myself into the room. Remember all height dimensions are at 90-degrees, and all width and depth dimensions are at 30-degrees.

Class#3 HW: Oblique Drawing of your OBJECT

Homework #3

Oblique Drawing of Your Object

Homework #3 : Oblique Drawing of Your Object  DUE by Class #4

Use an 9x12”  sheet of grid paper.

Draw the front face of the object first (Take care in choosing the side that gives the most information about the form).

Then extend the right side of your object at a 45 degree angle. (all lines parallel to the ground plane on this side will also be 45 degrees).

This is a "cavalier" oblique projection, so you will attempt to make the right side width true to the actual object. (see attached image)

If you are having trouble, try simplifying your object as one or more large cubes.

If it will fit, draw the object at 100% its actual size (each grid square is 1/4" inch)

If you object is small, draw it around 2-times the actual size, so that it will take up most of your page.

Class#2, HW: THE OBJECT

For HW, you will choose an object to focus on for the next several weeks. It should be a small man-made object, something with an interesting form and many details. A basically rectangular object is good, but not something so simple as a smart phone. Often people choose a camera.

Complete the following drawings, all in your sketchbook

1.Do 3 or more very quick gesture  Drawings of your object, 30-seconds each.

2. Contour drawing. Following the slight  variations in the lines, curves details.

Don’t worry about the whole form.  15 minutes

3. Geometric solid simplification. Once you have the simple structure, refine your geometric forms to express the particular variations in the structure (details). 30-minutes.  

4. Using the same geometric solid simplification, do pretty solid sketches of the object in one- , two-, and three-point perspective. Label vanishing point(s) and horizon line in each drawing (1 hour)

5. Bring your object and drawings to class next week.

Class #1, HW --Due MArch 14th

BRING ALL SUPPLIES TO EACH CLASS

(Should take 2 hours)

First of all, buy all your required supplies.

Make the following drawings in your sketchbook for next week.

1. Do 10  1-minute Gesture Drawings of any object.

2. 1-hour Contour drawing of you work desk or dinner table.

Begin at any spot on the table, and

Following the slight  variations in the lines,

curves details.

Don’t worry about the whole form.

3.. 30-minute Geometric solid simplification. Once you have the simple structure, refine your geometric forms to express the particular variations in the structure (details).
