assignment 13 musical tracing (fourth take)

Make a fourth drawing based on pinup discussions
• the drawing should fill a 24 x 36-inch frame.
• look at the examples on the Jazz website.
• develop the drawing with more detail architecturally; this is no longer about just tracing outlined shapes.
• develop joints/articulation/consistency.
• develop space joint articulation.
• compositional elaboration; improvise architecturally.
• varying thicknesses of walls that take clues and cues from cut musical instruments.
• see things that are hidden; think of it as a magnifying glass or special type of x-ray machine or cat-scan.
• articulate grids and dash lines (or draw dashed lines that represent above head elements).

Notes
• whether you use AutoCAD or formZ you still need to make every element a closed shape;
• closed shapes can overlap or layer upon other shapes.
• exporting the file from formZ to DWG
• the export retains layers and closed shapes but does not translate line weights.
• as long as you have closed shapes in AutoCad they will come in as closed shapes in formZ.
• you might have to save your AutoCAD files as a Release 14 or 2000 for it to be read by formZ.

Prints
