viewfinder sketches
Step 1: Create a viewfinder by cutting out a small rectangle (1"x.75") from the center of a scrap piece of paper.
Step 2: Trace the opening/viewfinder 15 times onto a blank piece of paper.
Step 3: Start looking around the room through your viewfinder. Sketch anything interesting you find. Things to keep in mind:
- objects should not be recognizable
- variety is important (texture, shape, edge, etc.)
- the focal point should not be in the middle
