THE ASSIGNMENT
Assignment Guidelines:
Step #1
In ETSU’s Sherrod Library you will do a short one-point perspective drawing in the “stacks” on level 3. Sitting at the end of a stack, use lines on the shelves and the ceiling’s grid as a guide to render perspective in contour line. This is more of a study than a finished drawing.
Step #2
Find a spot in the library where there is a good example of two-point perspective and complete a study with the same parameters as Step #1. If you cannot complete this drawing in class, please complete it for homework.

- The drawing should fill approximately half of your 18 x 24-inch pad.
- It should take no longer than 45 minutes.
- Notate where the horizon line and vanishing point are within the drawing.
