College week 6/3 Drawing 11th October

Today we had more drawing, tho time with Matt who had asked us yesterday to bring in 4 cardboard boxes.  No clues as to why we would use them for.  Largely because of the bother of lugging things to college (it is a 30 minute walk each way) I found various small boxes to take.
Matt's idea was that we should draw from observation some figurative work onto the surfaces of the boxes, using all sides.  Translating a 3d object into 2d drawing on a 3d object...especially he suggested we went outside and drew buildings, cars, whatever.
It was cold and grey and I decided to stay indoors.  I made 3 drawings.

(1) of one of the work tables in the room;

(2) of the room itself - which of course was "indside-out" when finished; and

(3) of a pair of scissors onto a tiny box which had originally held ink cartridges.

 It was a fun exercise in scale and relative sizes and shapes.

It also led to an interesting discussion about drawing and perspective and how we see things. and the view-point we use and often assume when we draw.
