PERSPECTIVE

Posted by Khari Evans on
In this project we start from  little lines, than built on them until we had a model of the wall we where drawing. I when drawing used the center point to draw neat lines. The lights form a m with line come from it. Miss hall helped make my drawing better. it was easy to draw the line but hard to space them right.

 The way she drew her light with thin light lines gave the affect the light was on.

Aazimah Muhammad- Perspective drawling

Posted by Aazimah Muhammad in ART9-003 on

In the beginning we were drawling boxes, and we learned about orthogonal and about the vanishing point. Starting this project I thought it was going to be a challenge, and it was. I have a good time learning about the lines, and making them straight and learning how to make a beautiful picture.

I had to first think about which wall I was going to do, then I had to think about what the components was going to be, like what my drawling would consist of.

It was easy to learn how to make the lines that went to the vanishing point. Learning how to make the lines go further, and making things like ceiling tiles.

It was hard to learn how to make the lines, into a piece of furniture, or into a window or something. Its actually a lot harder, when you have a picture in your head of what you have to draw, instead of looking at the picture of how to do it.

- I think Phoenix had a great peoject, he actually completed the project, and he used a lot of detail. He Had clean lines.

We first had to find out how many ceiling tiles on the wall that were going to draw. After we found that out we had to measure our paper and find the center. We then drew lines from the vanishing point to make the room come back into space. 

My process was drawing from the vanishing point to give the perspective view. I drew straight lines up to make the ceiling. Then I had to draw a helper's line to make my ceilings have boxes.
WHAT WAS EASY TO LEARN?
Drawing boxes.
WHAT WAS HARD TO LEARN?
Drawing angles and seeing if it fits the room.

Shay This drawing is very detailed about the room angles. It makes it look like it's going back to space and a room.
Josh They way he did the windows made it look realistic because of the messed up curtains and shades.

Harrison Talese-Rhodes' Benchmark Reflection

Posted by Harrison Talese-Rhodes in GLOBAL-001 on
For my Q3 Collapse'ability benchmark, I focused on Australia and Myanmar.

Beginning this benchmark was very difficult for me. When I finally started, however, my strategy was to write a section for each of the 5 pieces of framework for each country separately, and then combine the sections in a fashionable fashion and add a paragraph or so of comparing and contrasting. I then added pictures to each. This strategy worked well because, as I predicted, once I found some interesting leads in my research, each of the sections sort of developed themselves.

The 5 point framework cut my work out for me for the most part, but some of the sections were difficult to complete because the country didn't really have anything of note to say in certain categories. Even this was a minor problem because all I had to do for those was write a paragraph on why that factor wasn't relevant for the country and then give it a 10/10.

If I could add something to my final product, it would be better organization and cross-analyzing of both countries. It was difficult to put text that I wrote in text edit into pages and organize it with pictures because of formatting troubles. Once I got it all in, I didn't want to disturb it, so I held off from comparing and contrasting too much.

Perspective

Posted by Alexis Babcock in TECH1-004 on
We started the perspective concept with a horizontal line. The first terms we learned were vertical lines, horizontal lines, and orthogonal lines. The next thing we learned were bird's eye view, which is above the horizontal line, and worm's eye view, which is below the horizontal line. These two concepts helped me as I progressed on to drawing three-dimensional boxes. Each skill I learned connected to another; these new techniques helped me to produce my own final project. 

My project process went well; the drawing went well at first. I started with a box in the center of the paper representing the back wall. From there I made ceiling tiles; they helped to direct where my pillars and windows went. I noticed that everything lined up somehow with the vanishing point. I was almost done. All I had left was adding details in; however, my paper got lost. I restarted and finished the pillars, tiles, back wall, and windows. Although I was upset and disappointed, I knew I had to move on and restart. I'm actually proud of my final product. 

The easiest part was the pillars, but the hardest part was keeping everything straight and measured correctly.

I really enjoyed Shay Roland's depiction of the room because she made each element look life-like with correct measurement. I've seen her process and she's come along way. Very talented!

Martez Card's drawing

The hardest thing for me was getting the right measurements for the box.
The easiest thing for me was to draw the ceiling.
For the title I just used my name and put drawing because I didn't know what else to put.
Well we were drawing a room with the windows and lights and all sorts of detailed things in the room.

I like her picture because of the desing of the room and how the lights and door look

I began the project by getting a skeletal image of the wall. I did this by drawing rectangular shapes as the windows, and light sketches of the drawings against the walls (to add details). After that I simply filled in the walls, by adding things like the blinds, window panels, etc. It was easy to add little sketches, and have them connect back to the vanishing point. Unfortunately, not all was easy. It was especially difficult to draw the right corner of the wall-- the column. To get it look like a three-dimensional figure, and its easy to see in my drawing, by the final copy, I still hadn't mastered the technique. 


Alexis Babcock's drawing (although it wasn't completed) was extremely detailed, and relating to how much of a struggle that was for me, I think was done really well.

Perspective Drawing Of A Wall In The Art Room

Posted by Roberto Abazoski on

Artist's Statement
The project is to pick a wall from the art room and draw everything you see in perspective. My process was that I started by folding the paper in half both ways to get the center. Then I drew a 20" by 10" rectangle in the center of the paper to start off the main wall. After that, I counted how many ceiling tiles there actually were going across the wall. There were 17 tiles, so then I divided 20" by 18 and got 1.1". I measured that amount for each tile on the drawing and marked the start of each tile with a point on the top of the rectangle. To make the ceiling tiles, I then took a ruler and drew a line from the perspective point (the center of the paper), to each point on the top of the rectangle and extended the line to end of the paper. I had to erase the lines inside the rectangle though to only have the ceiling tiles. To finish the ceiling tiles off, I drew horizontal lines from the top of the paper to the top of the rectangle, each line being closer to each other to make squares. After I finished the ceiling tiles, I moved on to drawing the columns. I measured each of them to come out of the rectangle 1 inch. To do this, I measured 2 1-inch vertical lines away from the rectangle then connecting them. To show perspective, I drew a line from each corner to the perspective point and erasing the line in the rectangle. To finish it off, I drew squares and rectangles in the wall to make the windows. The easiest thing I learned was drawing in perspective, but the hard thing to learn was making things pop out and making them more realistic.

Franky's Room

​The purpose of this project is to learn how to draw in perspective by using vanishing points and squares. it is a very long but satisfying process in the end. At first I start off with a box on my paper with a vanishing point on the center of my square. Then as I keep adding my shapes i made sure that they all come back to the vanishing point on your square.I started with the left wall as my back wall and them made all of my wall come into play. No, it was not hard to do this project because I have done this project many times. Victoria
