String Drawing Assignment

String Drawing Assignment

Due Tuesday June 3rd

Step 1: Create an 8”x10” drawing using sensitive contour lines. (in class)

Step 2: Use the grid method to enlarge your drawing and transfer it to the foam board. Keep the drawing on the foam board extremely light so that it does not distract from your final string drawing.

Step 3: Begin inserting pins into the foam board along the lines you have drawn. Tie your string to one of your pins and begin threading it from pin to pin. This should be done in sections to keep it manageable.

Please keep in mind that this will be a time consuming project and may require some trouble shooting to ensure your pins stay vertical. You are welcome to use glue if necessary. I recommend that you begin this project as soon as possible so that you have enough time to work out the physical subtleties of the pins, board, and string. In order to be granted a re-do on this assignment you must have it finished on time.

You will be graded based on the following:

An ability to accurately observe and translate the still-life.

An ability to use sensitive contour lines.

Quality craftsmanship.
