The week-by-week breakdown of the rest of the semester's assignments:
Complete an illustration 12" x 16", or larger at the same scale, to accompany the text below, either Snow White or Sleeping Beauty. Your image must be as realistic as you can make it and very detailed. Grades will depend on the communication of the narrative, drama, drawing, accurate perspective, reflection and shadow plotting. It is your responsibility to ensure that your illustration demonstrates as much as possible of what you have learned during this course.
For Meeting 13
Submit 2 roughs using 2-point perspective, 2-point vertical or 3-point perspective. Different perspective in both. Use each perspective to its best advantage to bring drama to your concept. These can be freehand but should be clear and easy to read as you would send to your client. Value/shadows should be indicated but not plotted accurately. 8 1/2" x 11" or bigger.
Decide where the horizon and VP(s) are at the earliest opportunity. It is suggested that you treat several ideas in thumbnail form before settling on two.
For Meeting 14
Draw up the chosen visual at full size, accurately, in line, using a square grid, correctly ruled perspective and foreshortening. All constructions must be shown on a separate overlay/copy (VPs, DVPs, horizon, reflections, projections lines, a- and d-lines). There must be a demonstration of accurately plotted perspective. Flap your overlays.
For Meeting 15
Alter according to Wk14 critique. Add value/shadows accurately – color rendering is optional. You may work in any medium.
Direct reference is not permitted for this homework, except that you may reference the fashions of a particular period and the architecture.
Option #1 - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Inside the dwarfs’ tiny cottage stood seven little beds with seven pairs of slippers. On the wall were seven mirrors and seven hooks with seven little coats and seven little hats. The long table had seven little plates and seven little mugs, one for each little man. And when they had finished supper and every dwarf was contented, round and full, the seven dwarfs - standing no higher than her waist - danced with Snow White to the jolly strains of the fiddle. They were all too happy to notice the ugly old hag that glared at them bitterly through the window. Show all nine characters.
Option #2 - Beauty and the Beast
Pick the most dramatic moment from this short scene:
Every night Beauty and the Beast would sit by the hearth in the ornamental great hall and talk. The Beast's stories were fascinating to Beauty and his smile was kind in the firelight. Soon she found that she was anticipating her evenings with the Beast all day long.
One, summer night the Beast dropped to one knee and looked into the eyes of his companion.
"I know I am ugly - horribly ugly - but I have to ask. Do you think that a lady as beautiful as you could ever marry a Beast?"
"Never,” Beauty said with a tear in her eye. "I love you for the honest, gentle soul you are but no, I could never marry a Beast."
At that, the Beast fled the hall and Beauty did not see him again for many nights.

| A B-/C+ example-- VPs in too close, looks unfinished, stiff! |

| hard not to love this one--its lack of realism helped |

Option #2 - Beauty and the Beast
Pick the most dramatic moment from this short scene:

| C- Final. Lacks shadow plotting, uses sampled art, lacks feeling |
 |
| This one got an A+ even though it underplayed the drama |
Every night Beauty and the Beast would sit by the hearth in the ornamental great hall and talk. The Beast's stories were fascinating to Beauty and his smile was kind in the firelight. Soon she found that she was anticipating her evenings with the Beast all day long.
One, summer night the Beast dropped to one knee and looked into the eyes of his companion.

BONUS THIRD option! School Trip
An unusual "B" example. Back view of zombie kids "buries the lead." Miss Blake dragged herself out of the twisted school bus, stumbled across the waterlogged street and collapsed. Her thoughts were snarled by the collision. What was that decaying, faltering thing she had swerved to avoid a minute earlier… and where was everyone from the town, and why had no one come out to help?The rain had finally stopped. She looked around her. The lifeless bodies of her students were scattered about the wreckage like rag dolls: some strewn across the asphalt, some hanging from windows, some hidden inside, but all were broken and still.
Rough by Chad Weatherford
Final by Chad Weatherford (A) Some problems with where "up" is.
Was she the sole survivor? As the town clock struck twelve there was a shifting from inside the bus. She froze - the children! Miss Blake watched in terror as the ruined corpses of thirty eight year olds pulled themselves from the school bus and began to limp hungrily towards her…
