Exercise – Break Down and Build Up

Instruction

With the given reference images, break down the subject by creating a realistic, semi-complex, and abstracted view of the same subject. For the final set of shapes, do the opposite, building up from abstracted components to a realistic view.

 

Purpose

Practice abstraction of breaking down and building up objects into a subject that was not their before. Exploration into essential components.

 

My Interpretation

The break down drawings are self-explanatory, but for the build up drawing I immediately saw a top shape. With that in mind, I created  a semi-complex drawing, adding detail, and finally further emphasized those details in the realistic one.
