Drawing the cube I made the day before - and it proved as slippery in reconstruction as it was to put together with sticks and string. With all walls of the cube set out, it looked to be coming along -
despite a few problems with proportion of the sticks -
Another hour goes by, things are rubbed out and replaced but still the sticks in the top layer are in the wrong relation to each other (they should mirror the layer below) -
After four solid hours, the first drawing is more or less ok, given that we were using 2B pencils and the rulers were too short to space out the vanishing points and make nice big boxes -
plus that second drawing was quickly done and went more easily -- the trick is to start at the back, with the bits that get hidden, and get them into position. And to use diagonals to divide the "sides" into small areas. This project was frustrating at times (too detailed in the small space?), but I really enjoyed doing it ... possibly because it's something you can get "right", with enough thought and application. (Also, I like the subtlety of all those rubbings out in the first drawing!)
Downstairs, the showcases near the cafeteria have some of the class's work - including Rapunzel's Tower along with the objects that can move -
