Exercise : Plan Oblique

On a 36" by 36" sheet of trace or vellum, with your project at the centre of the sheet and its context filling the sheet, construct the project at 1/16" = 1'-0" in plan oblique. The choice of angle is yours.
First you will gently lay out the drawing starting with the most important lines, edges, forms, and vectors that shape and demarcate the work, then you will gently layout your project in the space of the sheet and its influences. Build up layers of lines and make the drawing transparent (or at least translucent) with layers and depth of lines through which you will bring new information into the project.
This is due Tuesday at 14h00. We'll be in for a short time tomorrow (monday) but the day is a work day. All of these projects are in sink or swim mode right now. The projects are preggers but you are not yet showing. This exercise will be the last one before the next (2/3rds done) assessment.
