Week 4: Construction I

Assignment: Construction Drawing—Complex Object

Specifications

Subject matter: Choose one of the following objects (click on a thumbnail to view the larger version).

 

  • Assignment 3: Create a finished, accurate construction drawing of one of the shapes shown above. All lines should be visible (don’t erase lines), but darken and thicken the appropriate lines to emphasize the visible portion of the object. Remember that Construction Drawings are not shaded, and include interior lines allowing the viewer to see into/through the item. (30 points)

  • Note: The actual drawing that you do should be larger than the printout and should fill most of the 9"x12" sketchbook space. Use plumb lines and transfer paper on the smaller printout to find the relative ratio for size and position.

Size: Your drawing should fill up a 9"x12" format.

Media: graphite
