Upload Your Proportions and Angles Practice - 50 Points

Upload every drawing that you did of the Tubes (finding Proportions) and the box (finding angles).

How to Find Angles

When you are drawing object you also need to find correct angles.

Use the following technique to sight the angles with pencils.

Tilt your pencil to align with a feature in your image.

Then compare it to the horizontal border of your paper. 

The angle should be as close to the actual angle as possible.

It might help to imagine the angles as hands on a clock. What time would the angle above be?

Continue the process until you find all the angles...

THINK ABOUT THIS!

Drawing in Proportion Using Units of Measure

Today we will begin to learn the skills we need make a realistic drawing.

First we need to make a drawing that is in Proportion, meaning that all elements of the object are in the correct ratio to each other.



How do I find proportion in what I draw?

Use your pencil and thumb to measure a distance on the object. This is called the Unit of Measure.

Then use the unit of Measure to find out how tall the tube is. Drop your pencil and thumb down the length of the tube and count how many widths you find.

1 width

2 widths

..and the tube is almost 3 widths tall.

Here is a link that goes into much more detail about this process.
