Don't forget to dress warm enough for drawing outside on Monday (and all your drawing materials and digital camera). I suggest wearing layers. So here are some samples of some artists who make large scale sculptures. Some monumental!
Below are some images of the Gates project in Central Park by the Christos. The first two are images of their wonderful drawings proposing the project before it was begun. The third is of the actual project after installation. This is just what we are doing in theory. I have added a link to their website (left side bar) which has many more examples of their sculptures.
Here are a few Richard Serra sculptures.
An amazing Louis Bourgeois sculpture that has moved around to many city, including here at Rockefeller Plaza a couple of years ago.
An Atlanta based artist named Andrew Crawford makes some amazing sculptures based on enlarging tools and playing with their form ans implied materials (see his website linked at the left for more).
And lastly a well know Donald Judd sculpture.
On to the student drawings. In case you are wondering these were not done at the High Line walk as ours will be. They were using Astor Square. Below are some examples of past students drawings of the same perspective assignment to help give you some ideas on how to integrate your object into the surrounding architecture. You can see that they all use various methods to help give a sense of scale, as well as various styles of atmospheric perspective to help create mood.
