Part 1

Rectilinear

How it's Done.

  1. Create six rectilinear compositions. Establish relationships between the volumes by choosing dominant, subdominant, and subordinate forms.
  2. Draw proportion sketches of each composition from multiple angles.
  3. Select one of you compositions to double in size.

Trial and Error

Thinking Process

I decided to refine and double the model on the top left because not only was it appealing from the perspective shown, but it also had interesting components at all perspectives. I also liked how the subordinate created a sense of movement outwards and helped to balance the piece as a whole. 

Final Rectilinear

Lessons Learned

Problem One: Rectilinear helped me to learn several lessons. One of the most important, however, was to look at my work in several perspectives. In the past, I had really never thought to look at my work in different ways to see how I could improve. Drawing both 2D and 3D sketches made me look at my work from multiple perspectives and helped me to see what parts of my work needed improvement. The 2D sketches helped me to see which models needed their proportions adjusted, and the 3D sketches helped me to make sure that all axis were used in my models.
