PHOTOGRAPHY - SCALE - HUMAN FORM - 

Create a series of high quality photographs in a studio setting of the Eames plywood chair with and without models. Each photograph should also be taken with and without a measuring devise to indicate 3" horizontal and vertical increments. 

  • Each team is to create a front, side, back, and top photograph of the Eames plywood chair with and without a model and measuring devise. 
  • Each team is to create a series of photographs of different sitting positions in the Eames plywood chair with and without the measuring devise. 
  • Each team is to create a series of photographs of people standing and sitting next to the Eames plywood chair with and without the measuring devise. 

Each team is to create the following full scale freehand drawings based on the photographs above. Create a 3"X3" scaled grid on your photograph based on the measure devise in the photographs. 

Draw the front, top, side views of the chair. Start by drafting a 3"X3" grid on the paper. Render the chair with accuracy and materials. Use the photographs as a scaled reference for the full scale drawings of the chair and model. Render full scale models in outline/ghost form. Determine and dimension essential sizes, angles, and positions as related to the human form, sitting, and overall comfort of the chair. One team member is to do one view each.

Each team is to assign one of the following drawings to each team member. Use the techniques above with measuring grid and rendering/line techniques to create the drawings. 

  • Standing next to the chair. 
  • Sitting beside the chair
  • Sitting in the chair at an angle or unconventional position
