(Ideation is loose, sketch is a bit tighter, and drawing tighter than that and shows angles and functions (on a smaller version on side of page).

STUDENTS:
Please remember we're having our midterm in class drawing test next week (week 7):
Please review this in my e-portfolio as well (week 7, 8A and 8B). Also whoever didn't read the MANDATORY reading from last week, please do, it will help for the test:
Homework due on Oct.10:
1)Draw one piece of furniture at your house, light it out from two angles and add ground shadows (on different pieces of tracing paper, like examples showed in class). (1H)
2)Finish perspective of shadows page. (?)
3)Look up e-portfolio and prepare for midterm. (0.5 H)
4)Field trip drawing: Finish the in class assignment, draw in perspective, and shade and add ground shadow. (?)
DUE WEEK 8:
Prepare for presentation of your midterm project (lamp/shade and pot/plant):
Create FINAL drawing/rendering: Add texture, color and shade: Add (in most cases) additional explanations on separate page, "map-page" with notes, measurements, views and angles. describe and show functionality.
Perspective of shadows:
There are two major different types of light: Outdoors/Sun light. We consider the sun light rays as parallel light.
Artificial light, spotlight, we're speaking of a 1 point light source. There are also other options: ex. lighting from several sources.
In class assignment: Copy the example page of simple shapes, how shadows cast on given simple objects, and how shadows casts on ground. It always depends of the position and the angle of the light source.
