Final Assignment!

Due Dates:

Constructed Object: 11/29

6 detailed thumbnails: 12/4

Final Drawing: 12/13 (Final Critique)

For your Final Project, you are to find an interesting object. Then you are to construct a larger-than-life replica of that interesting object using any DIY materials—found or otherwise—necessary.  The scale of your replica must be at least the mass of your head. You may NOT use materials that the original construction might normally be made from.

Then, observing your version of the object, you are to draw 6 thumbnail views (each about 4x6) in pencil on your drawing paper with as much detail as possible.  Those views should be Front, back, left side, right side, top, and bottom.  Treat these views like the relatively formal technical drawings of an owners’ manual, but also use them to explore the surfaces and textures of the object.

Finally, on 4 sheets of 18x24 paper (attached in any non-overlapping configuration appropriate-minus the boring configurations I pointed out to you on the chalk board) you are to make a drawing of the constructed object.  This drawing must be a finished, richly textured drawing across all 4 sheets of paper.  Your drawing may use any drawing media (or combination of media) appropriate.  You are to not only give the viewer an accurate sense of the form of the object, but also of the materials used to construct it.  Also, there should be very little cropping of the object on the 4 sheets of paper.  At least 90% of it should be visible. Be ambitious!  This should be your best drawing of the semester!

Good luck!
