Assignment #4

POINT OF VIEW

Appearances, as we have seen, can be deceiving. Knowing what to look for makes it easier to find. We are accustomed to seeing our world from a particular vantage point. This habit, although useful in most practical matters, can be very limiting to seeing in new ways, or creating new experiences for our viewers.

The goal of this assignment is to find a new way at looking at some old familiar things.

Here are some specific criteria for the project or “objectives that need to be met.”

1. Render the project on a 9” x 10” kyd finish Bristol board as in the previous assignment.

2. The border or margin outline should form a square, and be drawn in fine tip Sharpie, following instructions on the Assignment Format sheet.

3. Draw a 3 x 3 grid (9 squares) within the outlined square. 4. The grid should be drawn in extra fine point Sharpie5. Use the lettering and spacing requirements as indicated on the Assignment Format

sheet The title of the project, POINT OF VIEW, will be on the bottom left, and

your name should be on the right along the same line.6. You may choose to do your project in one of two ways.

a. Using a cartoon approach, choose 9 different subjects or themes that depict a unique viewpoint of the observer and draw them in simple line drawings onto the grid.

b. Photograph each of 9 different objects from a non-typical viewpoint. Trace each of their outlines and onto the grid.

7. A different point of view drawing should fit in each 2”x 2” square. 8. The final drawings should be done with an extra fine point Sharpie.9. It is recommended that the project be first done in pencil on tracing paper and then

transferred to the Bristol board also in pencil. Once transferred, the pencil lines can be traced over with the extra fine point Sharpie. When the ink dries, the pencil lines can be erased.

10. Your drawings do not need to be complex or difficult to be effective. Use the skill level you are comfortable with. Your talent is welcome and appreciated, but it is not graded. Remember what counts:

a. meeting the criteriab. accuracyc. neatness – do not use whiteout.

11. Asking for opinions and advice to solve a problem is very acceptable, in fact itis encouraged. Having someone do your project is fraud just like plagiarism.
