2nd assignment

part one:

Create a Framing Window. You will use this for perspective & composition. You may use string or thread to make the intersecting vertical & horizontal lines, or you may draw with grease pencil upon clear acetate & affix this behind the frame. The squares created should be equal in size, one square inch. Make the opening of the window 10" tall & 6" wide. I recommend foam-core, but you may use any sturdy material. Remember Neatness.

example:

part two:

After you have made the framing window, make a stand for it that you can place down to hold it in place. Frame an interior composition in your room (or elsewhere) to draw, but include an open window in your view. Make sure you have overlapping planes/objects in your composition. Draw this interior scene with window (also draw what is outside the window) by looking through your framing window. Make corresponding squares on your paper. Each square should be 2" on the paper, making your drawing 20" x 12" (or 12" x 20"). The squares should be drawn lightly, or use a light blue colored pencil. Use 2 or 3 varieties of wooden or mechanical pencils. Use a medium grade (or higher) white, bond paper. (Note - Bond is a material not on your previous list. A single sheet will usually cost at least $2-3). Spend at least 4-6 hours on the drawing.

example:

Although this drawing includes a mirror, not a window, it illustrates how I want various planes depicted: one in front of the other. Notice the coat in front of the mirror in front of the dresser in front of the bed in front of the wall. This is the type of composition I want you to employ.
