Homework

Something of a day of rest, so not much mental imagery on hand. I popped in to Sammy's room looking for inspiration and ended up spending a while fiddling with his perspective transcription homework. You stick the plan of your object (a little garden here) up the top of the page and transfer points about the place by various means to find out where they will be on the perspective drawing. He has the use of a drawing board at college, so they had not explained about sliding set squares to draw parallel lines. I thought the curve on his perspective looked squiffy, so I had a go at retranscribing. Luckily I had looked all this perspective from plan stuff up in an ancient encyclopedia about ten years ago, so I was not entirely ignorant of the process. I think he had got his lines for the top of a little wall confused with the ones for the bottom. Just imagine if you could do that with the real world, all sorts of stuff would get turned inside out like living in an Escher drawing.
