For this Monday's class we will be creating a drawing of on object. We will be creating this drawing on a 3-d surface, we are going to break the page! The objective is to think about a 3-d for that will enhance the essence of the object (and your drawing of it) that you have selected. You may use a preexisting form, or you can construct one from scratch. You may (if the surface allows for it) draw directly onto the surface, or you can attach the paper to the surface after you have done the drawing. You may use any materials for your structure and it's construction. Think about that the style you draw in should speak to the form as well. Below is a sample of a partially finished assignment (so that you can see the construction). The object was a brown glass soda bottle that is broken.
The form is made from cardboard and a plastic water bottle with the drawing sections glued on after it was built. The shape is meant to enhance the feeling of the sharpness of the broken glass and the action of it breaking. Think about how the viewer will interact with the drawing/form as well. You can place it in a sight specific area if you want too.
