5.2 Assignment: Interior or Exterior Sketch

• Description: For this assignment you can choose one of the following options:

• For IAD Students: Create one sketch of an interior space with furniture.

• This sketch must include one sofa, two chairs, and one coffee table. For the room, just draw simple shapes to give the setting some context. Think of this as a design problem and make an effective composition. You may use any medium you like. This can be a line or a value sketch.

• Purpose: To learn to use proper line weight for the size of the drawing; to create a wide tonal range (if you are doing a value drawing); to learn to use your technique consistently.

• Description: You are required to do one sketch per module in addition to the other assigned homework. Grades will be based on whether or not you submitted a sketch, not on their quality. The purpose of this Sketchbook assignment is to keep you drawing!

• For this module, do a series of speed sketches featuring furniture that is at your residence or somewhere nearby. Time yourself and write the time spent on the bottom of each sketch.

• Purpose: To practice sketching techniques.
