[Basic] Assignment 03: Perspective
LAR 5304G Digital Landscape Representation I: Drawing, Cartography, and Notation
Assignment 03: Perspective
Description
Construct a perspective drawing which illuminates the experience of inhabiting, passing through, observing, or working within the restoration project site selected for study. The location depicted within the restoration project site may be freely chosen, but should be selected for its relevance in explaining the restoration project as a landscape, particularly when considered in relationship to the plan and section-elevation drawings from Assignments 01 and 02.
Workflow
Students will construct a perspective drawing in Photoshop using collage techniques and overlay annotations on that drawing in Illustrator.
Deliverables
1 Perspective: a perspective drawing at or near standard human eye height. This perspective should:
+ be reasonably perspectively accurate (see the assigned readings for Week 08)
+ use human figures and collaged landscape elements (such as vegetation) to aid the viewer in understanding scale
+ make use of overlay, diagramming, and annotation techniques to aid the viewer in understanding the depicted landscape
+ include a title, key plan, and scale
You may also consider:
+ the role of lighting, weather, and atmospheric conditions in landscape experience
+ temporal change and seasonality
+ the use of human figures to indicate landscape program and use patterns
Sources
Throughout every assignment for this course, you are expected to demonstrate good sourcing practices, for all visual, written, and intermediate products. This means both tracking your sources as you research and properly sourcing on all presented products. Sources should be clearly attributed directly on drawings.
