In this task you will be consolidating a lot of the skills you have been developing this year.
Line [contour and outline]
value and shading
perspective
Start with the initial lines
select an A3 sheet of paper in portrait
Draw a horizon line in the middle third
Draw seven [7] vertical lines perpendicular to the top and bottom of the page. These can be placed anywhere on the page and vary in length.
swap your page with someone else in the class!
You will turn this 7 line design into your own creative perspective drawing.
You have TWO options. Watch this video, decide which option you want to do then refer to instructions below for further guidance
In this task you will turn the 7 lines into two point perspective boxes and draw a ribbon running through them.
Turn each vertical line into a two point perspective box using the given horizon
Decide where the ribbon will enter and exit each box and draw a circle.
Use the two pencil tied together technique to draw the ribbon running through the boxes. Draw in edges where ribbon bends and curls.
Erase all unnecessary lines.
Tidy up all edge lines, erase orthogonal lines, ready for adding value/colour [IN PART3]
adding orthogonal lines
creating two-point perspective boxes
deciding on the ribbon path
Adding the ribbon and tiding lines
In this task, you will turn the 7 lines into an imaginary fantasy construction which could be a formation of geometric shapes or a futuristic space building.
Begin with one of the lines and turn it into a block
Start to work out from this block adding extra lines and orthogonal lines as you go. Develop cutouts and additional shapes like circles/spheres etc. Think about how each shape will interlock with the other. If it’s a building- you could add windows doors etc. Look at the range of examples as to what you could produce.
Erase lines as you go and tidy up edge lines ready for adding value and colour in the next step.
