Assignment # 4        More Linear Perspective!

Create two drawings using linear perspective.

DRAWING # 1- Two-Point Perspective -Due October 23, 2013

Create a drawing of a space using two-point perspective.  This should be done from life and not a photograph.  Choose an interior or exterior location.  Show as much detail as possible.  (Be sure to fill the space and make it a ‘good’ drawing, not just a linear perspective exercise, good composition is a must.)  Use a ruler for your straight lines.  Leave the horizon line and vanishing points visible on the paper.

Size and materials :18” X 24” white drawing paper, pencil.  Create a border if you want.

DRAWING # 2 : Using Perspective Creatively –Due October 23, 2013

Use your perspective concepts to develop a drawing that approaches the use of space and perspective in personally meaningful ways.  You may wish to work from a distinctive angle or experiment with ambiguous, convoluted or spatial arrangements, seemly impossible perspectives, or purposeful distortions. You can control and manipulate perspective to create expressive visual effects.

This drawing could be from life, from photos or from your imagination, or a combination of all three.  Be careful not to plagiarize the work of others, though you may get your inspiration there.

Size & materials is your choice. (No smaller than 14” x 14”)
