Two Point Perspective: Due April 10th

The homework assignment due this Thursday is similar to the last one, but two point perspective, like we have been doing in class.  If you can sit outside and do an outdoor drawing that would be ideal.  I know it's a little cold out so if you need to do an indoor scene you can. Try to choose a spot like in the Wang center, that's an interesting scene, or maybe, look out the window. I would rather you work from life than take a picture, so if you need to work indoors you can do that.  Make sure it is fully rendered (shaded).  You all know how long it takes to shade with pencil, so plan accordingly.The homework assignment due this Tuesday is similar to the last one, but two point perspective, like we have been doing in class.  If you can sit outside and do an outdoor drawing that would be ideal.  I know it's a little cold out so if you need to do an indoor scene you can.

One Point Perspective: Due April 3rd

Here is an example of the one point perspective for your dorm room or apartment.  Just pick a hallway in the building that you live in and try to pick one that is fairly simple.  Remember all of the lines either go to the vanishing point or are 90 degree angles.  Fully render (shade) in pencil.  

Homework #4: Shoe Contour Due March 13th

Here are some examples of past student's shoe contours. Remember to vary your line weight and use your nice drawing paper. Keep your pencil sharpened. Also consider the shoes you choose, pick shoes that are complex and good for drawing in contour.

Homework Assignment #3: Fabric

Here are some examples for the third homework assignment, drawing of fabric in charcoal.  It is due Tuesday, March 4th.  Please be sure to address the whole page and really look at the fabric.  Study the folds, draw what you see and don't generalize generic folds.  Make sure to ground the object with a drop shadow.  Please be conscious of craftsmanship.  Take your time. Do not come in with folded assignments, please neatly cut the paper out of the pad, no smudges, and be sure to spray it with fixative.
