Sketching: Marker Rendering and Project #4

Project #2 Furniture and Fabric Swatch Project due Complete next Monday

along with Project #3 home plan(1) and elevations(2)

Refer to classroom plan and elevations for guidance. No perspective necessary

but use overlapping, contrast, value, and shading to communicate spacial relationships.

Recall in class demonstration to colorize your drawings.

1. Determine a light source and the location of highlights and shadows. Leave the only the highest highlights blank.
2. Ink your drawings with fine-point pen on marker paper.
3. Consult your color chart and select your markers. Practice color mixing on scrap paper.
Determine the base color, most common color, preferably the lightest. Fill it in.
4. Working light to dark, colorize your project.
5. Add shadows using your grays, 10, 30, 60. Make sure to have at least three distinct values. Value creates form.
6. Use your white pencil to create highest highlights.

Project #4

Interior Reference Drawings

Objective: Further develop knowledge of drawing with proper scale and proportion, color, material matching, and representing spacial relationships efficiently and accurately.

Guidelines:

1. Utilize class time to go to Library and find 3 images of residential interiors suitable for drawing one plan and two elevations. After returning to class consult fellow students and instructor for final approval. Images best suited for the project provide a clear, expansive view of at least one wall. Cluttered images or images to deeply set into a corner do not provide enough information for the floor plan & elevations.

2. Based on your best judgement, draw a floor plan of the room, or portion of the room shown in the image. Research standard door, window, seating, table sizes to devise an accurate estimate of the interior space and elements contained within. Color match all elements, floor, furniture, fixtures.

3. The elevation is an idea sketch based on the image. It should have a sense of depth and perspective. Try making several quick sketches to develop proper proportions, then pick your best to copy and color match.

4. Thirdly, create a materials page depicting 4 details in increased scale. Material details could include fabric swatches, furniture, fixtures, floor and/or wall treatments. Include call-outs (notes identifying describing the material shown).

Be sure to provide enough detail in all your drawings to describe forms and materials accurately. Is it a rectangle or is it actually a couch. What is the couch made of? Fabric, leather. Is the floor painted concrete or walnut?

All elements must be in proper proportion and relative scale. DO NOT fill the entire paper with your drawing. Create an organized, balanced and attractive composition.

Points 150

Due 11/10/08

Here are some good examples of appropriate images for this project.

Notice how there is enough information so that you can devise a possible floor plan and an elevation. Also there is enough variety in texture, contrast,

color and value to create an attractive composition.

Below are more images to guide you through the project, some student work, some drawings by artists and professional designers.
