Filling My Locker, Weighing on My Conscience

Hello, Former Students!
Remember that Drawing from the Imagination piece you did that you were proud of, but I never got back to you? I probably still have it in my locker in 540 Powell. I teach there all day Tuesday (8:30- am 10 pm!!),Thursday morning and all Friday afternoon!
Drop by and ask Dax where I'm teaching and come glare at me--I'll take a break and give you back anything I still have of yours.

Assignment #5

Here's the poop:

Homework #5
Read Chs. 8, 9

Using both two-point vertical and 3-point perspective, complete a drawing of three inanimate objects. The objects can be anything you please but each must be different from the other two.

Two objects should be drawn in three point and the third in two point vertical. All three objects must work together IN THE SAME DRAWING.

Remember that in 2-point vertical, one vanishing point must be at the center of vision on the horizon the other should be directly above or below.

With 3-point perspective, two points must be on the horizon and the third should be above or beneath, placed an equal distance from the other two forming a triangle with equal sides.

DO NOT SHOW THE HORIZON IN YOUR IMAGE.

Special attention should be paid to the scale of objects in relation to each other. You may include a background for extra credit.

Your drawing should be 9" x 12" or larger. You may add value if you wish.

PLEASE NOTE:

ALL WORK DONE FOR THIS CLASS SHOULD BE AS REALISTIC AS POSSIBLE, ANY STYLIZATION OR DISTORTION WILL BE PERCEIVED AS A FLAW.

Your grade will depend on your understanding of the principles and constructions involved in the assignment as well as the complexity, accuracy and detail of your drawing. Composition, line quality, clarity and cleanliness will also be factors. Going beyond the call of duty is strongly encouraged as long as you remain true to the brief. Show what you are capable of.

Examples provided here range from fairly successful to just awful.

This is a tough assignment. Read the post closely,  and get some ref of similar angles to the ones you're drawing, but with different facial types. Vary your facial types as to age, sex and build.
