Hi All,
This week we went over what ellipses are and how they work. Additionally, now we’re going to be working on designing an awesome treasure chest inspired by an architectural style. So for homework, I’m going to be looking for the following:

2 pgs - Ellipse Swiss Cheese wall - 10 ellipses displayed on three surfaces as demonstrated in class.
1 pg - 5 Cubes in space with ellipses on all visible surfaces.
1 pg - Architecture Study
1 pg - Treasure Chest Ideation (4 front views with 4 side views)

I’m looking forward to seeing some awesome treasure chests! Make sure they’re cool but not too complicated so you can be successful when we do it in perspective.

I found this great PDF online delving into drawing ellipses including some photography that helped me a lot in understanding: The Bad Ellipse: Circles in Perspective

Here are the supporting videos for ellipses:
