So last project of this semester : using observational drawings as a starting point, then translating and adapting these drawings to create a scenario.
This scenario needs to contain 9 elements :
- Figures in uniform
- A family group of mixed age and gender
- A pet
- A moving object
- A group of farmed animals
- A building or manmade structure
- A place you visit
- A plant or tree
- Weather
I started this project by deciding I wanted to come up with the setting that will be unique but personal enough to be interesting for me to explore in detail, I have chosen Krak des Chevaliers a 12th century crusader castle in northern Syria. After this I did a quick mock up sketch for an idea in my sketchbook which came out well. and so I began working on the rest of the elements. I have a rough idea for what I want to include and have made an A1 mock up to see if my general idea will work, I am aiming to go up to A0 for this outcome (largest drawing i've ever made).
Initial sketch working from a photo
A1 mock up
Elements to be researched :
- Studies of a dog in movement
- Studies of cattle
- Average family unit in the crusades
- Garb of Syrians during the crusades
- Garb and banners of the Knights Hospitallers
- Drawings of clouds and how wind effects their shape
- Trees native to Syria
Workshop tomorrow on Perspective..
