DRAWING CLASSES: Homework Assignment #6: Interior Perspective Study

Now that we have delved into single and two-point perspective, you have begun to develop the tools you need to accurately render dimensional space on paper. For this assignment, a continuation of what you have been doing in class, I would like you to create a perspective study of the interior of either a diner, a bar, or a laundromat. In each case, the interior has elements-- be they tables, chairs, booths, stools, counter, or banks of washers and driers, that will put your perspective drawing skills to the test.

This drawing will also get you into the habit of working in the real world, which I always recommend in order to encounter the odd, unplanned detail. Time is always the issue when working outside the studio-- a finite amount of time. So please take note of every detail you can, making small notes in a sketchbook or on sketchpaper, so that if you cannot finish the piece in its entirety "in the field," then you have enough information to do so at home.

Your drawing should be linear only-- freehand without any guidance from a straightedge, using graphite on your good Strathmore paper, filling the entire space of the paper.

BEGINNING DRAWING: DUE MONDAY OCTOBER 31. DRAWING FOR NON-ART MAJORS: DUE THURSDAY OCTOBER 20.
