The document provides instructions for an assignment to create a drawing using boxes, patterns, and an understanding of compositional logic and vanishing points developed in previous projects. Students are asked to: 1. Create a frame and guidelines to establish composition. 2. Sketch the composition using boxes and patterns, paying attention to foreshortening and eye level. 3. Replace pencil lines with pen, leaving one face of each box empty and facing the same direction. The objectives are to depict objects in space demonstrating an understanding of techniques like eye level, foreshortening, and vanishing points. Creativity, craftsmanship, and technical proficiency are also goals. The project will be graded on concept
Patterns and boxes
- 1. Drawing 1 de Beaufort Patterns and Boxes Assignment: After completing Pareidolia and Contour-Line, you are ready for this project. Use the patterns that you invented in the former, and the compositional logic you developed in the latter. Pay close attention to the boxes and their vanishing points. 1. Using an HB pencil and your t-square, create a “frame” to help you understand compositional logic. 2. Create several vertical plumb-lines to assist with placing objects. 3. Draw a “bubble” to guide the composition 3. Begin to sketch the composition, moving from general to specific. Pay close attention to eye-level and the foreshortening of various objects. Remember that the sides of boxes disappear in to a “vanishing point”, and that if you cannot see the top of an object, you should not draw it. 4. Once your pencil sketch is complete, begin to replace your lines with pen using the sharpies. 5. Fill in the planes of the boxes with pattern, making sure to leave one face of each box empty. All the empty planes should be facing in the same direction. Objectives: Naturalistic depiction of real objects in space. Understand of eye-level, foreshortening, and vanishing point. Composition and scale within a picture plane. Contour line and line weight. Use and invention of pattern using varying qualities of line. Creativity and imagination. Overall technical proficiency and a high level of craftsmanship. Grading Rubric: CONCEPT/DESIGN (40 pts) : The project makes use of line, foreshortening, pattern, compositional unity, and balance. There is variety but also unity in the picture elements.
- 2. CRAFT/PROFESSIONALISM (40pts): The project is neat and precise, there are no blemishes, scratches or scuffs that distract the viewer. CREATIVITY/ORIGINALITY (20pts): Are your patterns inventive? Is your composition creative and original? 100 points total
