Everyday Objects to Imaginary Constructs

In this assignment, we will be exploring inspiration. In this particular project, we will explore this in a straightforward manner – taking the shape of one object and translating it to an imaginary construct.

Let’s watch the above video. Mainly from the 1:16min point onward. It shows an illustrator drawing an imaginary “robot.” His inspiration is the top of a spray bottle. 

Here are a few examples:

Assignment:

• Create four quadrants on four pages of your sketchbook
• Find an object(s) that you think might inspire you to create a drawing
• Within each quadrant create curves, lines, and doodles to develop a visual vocabulary to use later
• Begin creating thumbnail sketches based of your “model, line/forms and sketches
• Due date is TBD. Most if not all work will be completed in class.

Let’s enjoy ourselves!
