Multiple Views
Objective Choose an object or group of objects that interest you and create a dynamic composition using multiple views of your chosen subject. The final piece must include a minimum of ten different views of your subject. Each view will appear in a window of an established grid system. The size of the grid openings may vary, though each opening must have 90degree angle corners. Each view must show perspective, have strong contrast, depict a light source and/or changes in value. Materials Choose watercolor, pencil, color pencil, charcoal or black illustration marker. Step 1: ThumbnailSketches • On a 12” x 18” paper, make 15 thumbnail sketches in squares or rectangles. You will choose your ten most interesting views for the final drawing. • Use your viewfinder to zoom in and out of your still life. Look for unusual and interesting angles. Move around the still life as you draw. • Do close up, mid range and long views. Don’t spend too much time on any one thumbnail sketch as this is only the preparation stage. Strive for an effective composition within each view. Step 2: The final piece • Select a format and lightly lay out your grid system in pencil. If using watercolor, tape off your rectangles on the watercolor paper. • Transfer sketches into the grid openings • Begin adding value and contrast
