Assignment 6 - Perspective and Foreshortening Practice

 









This was a combination of perspective practice (1, 2, and 3 point) and me attempting to learn foreshortening. Apologies for the lighting, I took these pictures while I was home. I do wish I had received instruction on how to do these techniques in class, however, I have found how to draw videos that work well for this to make up for it.

  The idea behind this pair of drawings was personification. At the time of creation, I had recently read the play Rossum's Universal Robots, which plays a lot with the ideas of what it means to be sentient and imbuing humanity into things. That is why I decided to make a scarecrow, which is seen as an imperfect facsimile of a human, but is nonetheless very human in its creation: a silly smile with that silly hat on a stick body.

I needed something that would adhere to crevasses and uneven or rounde...

Assignment 6- Finale

 This is my biggest perspective drawing for which the instructions consisted of: On any surface, at any size • Choose a patterned textile or paper element, and another collage fragment (of any shape, type: a photo, or something else) then glue/adhere these onto paper. • Extend and relate the elements imaginatively, using sensitive, arresting, searching, considered, absorbing marks, in correctly drawn perspective. Breaking this down, the surface was all but the top couple sheets of the drawing pad, one which I adhered to the other, satisfying the requirements of 1. any surface 2. a paper element 3. adhered on to paper. Finally, I stuck on the photo to the top layer of paper, fulfilling all the elements of the first part of the prompt. I did my best to adhere to the second part of the prompt, but I was operating with no context for anything but "Extend and relate the elements imaginatively" and " in correctly drawn perspective". The latter aspect being the only thing ...
