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.
