Drawing Assignment using the Principles of Design
Choose a common subject as a source of motif for your drawing. This can be anything (a shoe, a piece of fruit, a shell, a chair, etc., etc., etc.)
Draw this object multiple times across your picture plane changing the object each time you draw it. For example, one depiction of the object can be a straight on view, another could be a highly forshortened view. Consider turning the object over to depict its other side. Consider changing the scale of your object in one depiction. Consider drawing one section of the object close up.
I want to do draw at least five different versions of the same object, altering something about it each time, all in one composition (that means on one sheet of paper). Consider how you place each view/depiction of your object on your composition. You may overlap some of the images. Think about your use of positive and negative space.
While you are creating this composition I want you the think about all of the principles of design we discussed in class (Unity and variety, contrast, emphasis, balance(symmetrical or asymmetrical), movement, repetition and rhythm).

Balance – Refers to the varying amount of visual weight on one side of a work compared to the other side of the work.
Works can have:
Symmetrical BalanceAsymmetrical BalanceRadial Balance
- Works can also be asymmetrically unbalanced if the weight on either side does not feel the same.

This mandala is in the form of an extraordinary palace seen from above.
