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.
