For this session we were asked in groups to collect and bring boxes of a variety of sizes. Our task was to create a Letter over an arrangement of boxes, we had to create the illusion of a letter. This had to be viewed from one point, we could only use white or black card and had to change the opacity of pieces of the letter so they all appeared the same tone.
We started by taking a photograph of the collection of boxes from the viewpoint, from this we drew on the letter to the photograph to see where the pieces of the letters would need to be placed. With one person at the viewfinder we carefully crafted the shape, the viewfinder person giving us directions on where the letter would be. The furthur back the letter the larger it needed to be also the darker it needed to be to counter act its length from the viewfinder.
I did a similar session to this last year on my foundation course where we had to create a shape that could only be seen from one point.
We had a camera on a tripod for this which was a lot easier to use then guessing where to look.
