REDRAW-REDESIGN ASSIGNMENT

As we are going to deepen further on this long-term assignement from now on, you  must bring on Monday:

- 1. Drawings (plans, sections, axonometric)  of the house in which you are working, it can be photocopies or printouts from the Internet, in the appropriate scale to be able to work with. (I'll keep a set of plans so I can correct your work, so bring it twice)

2. Your own plans and sections drawn on tracing paper. You have to do at least 5 new sections on your own! Indicate in the plan the section planes and make the sections as we have done in the classroom with Turegano and Ebeling, but with your own house, so I can check that you understood it.

3. Sketches of your re-design proposal

4. If possible: Axonometric view, do it yourself, of the original house and then some drawings with the  brainstorming ideas to change it, in A3 format.

if you need to keep these drawings to keep on working on it, make photocopies for me so I can take it home and give you feedback during the week.

5. Bring also the assignment of the cafeteria and any past assignment that you would like to review.

Please hand in everything well organized, well presented, and nicely put into a cardboard paper , made out with a A2 folded in half, or an A3 folder, with your name and works on it.

Any questions or comments, write me an email. Happy weekend.

DRAWING THE NUDE

A few guidelines so you will be ready for "drawing the nude" next monday.

1. Please bring the necessary tools: pencils (4B,6B), soft leads and at least 1.2mm, but I recommend you to start with a broad medium such as charcoal or graphite stick, or hard pastels, ink, brushes or pens (if you dare)  to prevent you from dwelling too much on detail in the early stages of your drawings.

2. Be professional, be on time and behave with respect. That means that you will try to be quiet and concentrated in your work. Bring all the materials and tools to draw a lot. You will use a lot of paper, bring several sketchbooks or paper formats and mediums.

3. Start with the structure, the main lines, balance, and proportions. Remember we are not artists but architects, we learn from real balanced structures, shapes, elements, relationship between parts, points match in the space.

It is important to establish the main lines and shapes before filling in with shading or drawing facial features, fingers and toes, as these will often have to be changed if you discover the proportions are incorrect or that you have misunderstood the angle of the girl's head or hand.

4. There will be long poses and short ones. Analyze the pose accurately before you begin and then start, from the main lines to the structure, and at the end, details. Train yourserlf trying to make quick drawings.

5. Please copy these drawings so you can start practising, then try to make your own with the same style.

DRIVERS OF CHANGE

There are different thing you can do to change the house as it was explained in the assignement. 

Another idea would be to transform the house into a "greener" house, here some features to make a house more efficient in terms of energy... may be it can give you some ideas...
