IDEAL SOLIDS

Desiree Torres

Miguel Jimenez Ochoa

Last Thursday the class made drawings of the five Ideal Solids (see tab above) exploring materials and the techniques for rendering light and form. Desiree's drawing is a realist rendering of the cube form and the light striking it. Notice the absence of bold contour lines. Edges are established by juxtaposing contrasting values.
Miguel has used subtle contours as well. The gradation across the cone is smooth and gradual. In addition, he has implied a horizon line and created a strong sense of atmosphere around the form.
