  • Upload any revised work to the appropriate category housed under Student Posts in OpenLab.

Overview of Assignment 12c: Final Project: Real NYC Location

  • On 14×17 inch white paper draw an actual complex space using the rules of perspective.
  • For next week: Finish your final project drawing

Date Due: xxxx

  • Part 12a Due Date: xxxx
  • Part 12b: Due Date: xxxx
  • Part 12c: Due Date: xxxx

Instructions:

  • Transfer your favorite rough sketch to 14×17 inch paper closely following the rules of perspective.
  • Draw the major components being sure you have only one horizon line and all vanishing points relate to each other.
  • If objects are parallel, they go to the same vanishing point/s.If they are not parallel they do not use the same vanishing points.
  • The vanishing points of two-point perspective objects lie on either side of the one-point vanishing point, which is the position of the artist.
  • As a two-point object rotates, one point gets closer to the artist’s position and the other point gets further away.

Learning Outcomes:

  • To demonstrate student has learned the perspective issues of the course including:
    • one and two-point perspective, along with horizon line
    • creating believable 3-dimensional space populated with objects
    • foreshortening, including shape, proportion and size adjustments
    • relative scale changes caused by depth location
    • spatial complexity
    • Light and shadows: form and cast shadows
  • To demonstrate student can create strong design and 3-dimensional space simultaneously. Among design elements demonstrated are:
    • Balanced variety in terms of scale and detail
    • Page placement, including use of the entire page
    • Positive/negative shape relationships
    • Line quality and variety
  • To demonstrate student can think creatively while rendering a believable 3-dimensional space
