Project

Draw a still life composition consisting of several (3-5) different shapes of objects using perspective with elements that advance and recede in space. One should be a cylinder and a cube or rectangle.

Guidelines

Apply all that you have learned.
Following the principles and ideas covered in the conference discussion and your readings, arrange a new still life. Make sure the arrangement shows spatial depth and that some of the elements are oriented to move back in space (away from you). Include a number of cylindrical shapes (cans, bottles !void clear glass) as well as square shapes (books or boxes).
Include perspective guidelines situated to vanishing points in order to gain accurate perspective. You do not have to show the merging lines but you must indicate your VPî
Using the viewfinder and your sketchbook, create several thumbnail drawings to develop a visually interesting and well-designed image. As with the earlier projects, expand two or three of your thumbnails into larger rough sketches, then use the best of these in your final piece. Use your skills in drawing positive and negative shapes to confirm the perspective in your design. Use your skills with contour and cross contour to give solidity and volume to the forms of the various elements.
Focus only on line. Do not “shade” or add value to any part of the drawing, but do tone the negative space. Use a surface line for the illusion of weight, space, depth, and mass.There is no need to include the words on labels (avoid distractions).
