Henry Moore Institution
Before heading out to the Henry Moore Institution, we did a brief exercise involving the use of isometric projection. Trying to project my first initial into various angled space wasn't exactly easy. I think the results of are mediocre at best. Better than nothing, I suppose.
While in the Institution, we had to pick two or three of the sculptures on exhibit and draw them from two angles, the third, we had to project. With our imaginations and the other two as a guide. I managed alright with the symmetrical shapes, but time and the how daunting drawing the mostly-made-up third angles there and then had me deciding that I'd rather draw them later. That is still pending.
This is the sculpture piece that I began with; as its quite an a-symmetrical shape both angles I drew from the sides at different levels look quite similar. That being said, it made drawing the projected plan view of it a lot easier.
The next item I drew was of a woman's face done in abstract bronze. It's quite a nice piece. As of yet, I have drawn it from two angles but the final isometric projection is yet to be completed. EDIT: Now completed.

After this, we went into the geometric exhibit, that left me wondering "why...?" Regardless, I suppose there is a kind of beauty therein. Symmetry and precision are nice and all, but for me, I prefer the mysterious representations in the abstract sculptures exhibit. It captures my attention more and allows more depth of thought and poetry. Further, in school, I liked maths but hated having to learn all the formulas to calculate the areas. Lastly, these exhibits where incredibly hard to draw, but I tried to give at least an impression of what I was looking at. I refuse to project these things isometrically.
