I tried this for the first time. Definitely going to add this as a warmup. The longer lines were difficult and the curved lines were so much more difficult ;-;

Tried to fit them all on one page, I hope it's not too confusing to read! I also added little notes to the side to keep me focused on certain issues I'm having. Definitely got me more used to using the new tools! The ruler and 0.05 mechanical pencil were mainly used here. I'm going to have to use the Triangle Rulers more because I don't think some of these are accurate to 60 degrees! Definitely something I need to hammer in to me in the future. I think the main problems I'm having here are consistency with line angles and proportion. I can't seem to get them consistently down, even if I do measure with the ruler. The ruler does come in handy though, and it does help with measuring proportions more accurately than by hand. That and other problems like angles of ellipses and other box angles; topics that will probably be addressed in our studies later down the line. Also tried to make a some of the boxes transparent; this really made me have to think about accurate form, but it sure made the exercise feel more challenging and fun! Also for the one at the bottom, I went and did a little peer study of one of Sandra Salem's pages. It's not accurate, but I thought the shapes she choose were so cool! Definitely need to work on accuracy, proportion, and angles as the lessons continue, but this was a really fun exercise regardless!

Changing a frame into a star. The objects are, in order, possible - impossible - possible - impossible - possible.

This assignment was actually harder than I expected. I wanted to create my own illusion, so it really took me a lot of time to come up with an idea and understand how to execute it. My perspective is not perfect, but I wish I understood the task correctly :) I drew the simplest jewellery chest, one time emphasizing it from above and one time from below. Then I tried to think how I can make an illusion out of it, so I wrote "HELLO" in mirror writing to show it from below, but emphasizing the chest as if we are looking at it from above. I really hope it is clear enough, I would love to get some feedback from anyone really, it would be greatly appreciated! :3

Big Picture goals for me would be to: 1. Drawing something from a different angle. 2. Learn how to approach visualizing perspective, so it becomes intuitive to segment the environment in front of me to basic shapes and volumes. 3. Learn how certain types of shapes and forms interact with one another in 3D dimension. 4. Learn how to stretch a form and foreshorten it.
