I learned more about how to set up the back wall. At first I was unsure of how to set it up but by relying on my artists eye I was able to fix the proportions. I also discovered how to shade my drawing better.

If I did not have the back wall drawn to proportion my whole project would not correspond to the actual shape and layout of the room. The shading made it look less two dimensional.

If I remade my assignment I would make sure to add more details and that the stools and table are to scale. I would also shade more and add texture to the furniture and tiles, in other words make it look realistic.

The first thing I would tell them is that you need to make sure that the vanishing point and back wall (If they are drawing a room) are in the appropriate location. From there place the major components such as windows, tiles, and tables, after this you can move on to details. Remember to connect everything back to the vanishing point.

I mainly just drew what I saw and what looked correct. I did not use any websites, but I did check in with my peers to see if I was headed in a good direction or if everything looked to scale.

What is one thing that your learned specifically that you did not know before.

How did leaning this thing make your drawings better?

If you did this assignment again, what would you do differently?

What is your advice to someone who has never drawn a one point perspective drawing before?

What resource helped you the most and why?

e. What resource helped you the most and why?

I learned how to determine which lines should be parallel or go to the vanishing point depending on a line's position in real life.

It helped my perspective of how to draw and it gave me an understanding of drawing 3D objects based on the object's position relative to my eyes.

I would probably make the windows smaller and put the table farther back since the apron of the window is too low to the ground if I had to do the assignment again.

I would tell someone who has never drawn first perspective that it is easy if you know when to use the vanishing point and when to make lines parallel to each other. Also, I would tell them to pay attention in class and know the definition of key words like parallel or orthogonal.

The slide show helped me the most because it showed me how to make the sizes accurate and what to do on some confusing parts like drawing the apron of the window and spacing objects.

1. One thing that I have learned that I haven’t learned before was it’s ok to erase because it’s a way of improvement and it’s the best way for you to learn your strongest points and and the weakest point that needed addition work. 
2. Learning this really made my drawings better because I recognized my mistakes and changed them for the better. 
3. If I did this assignment over again I would not procrastinate, and spend every ingle minute of time given to work on this. 
4. My advice to someone who has never drawn a one point perspective drawing is to draw as if you are looking at the thing you are drawing. You just don’t see a flat surface but you see 3 dimensional surface so draw in your point of view. 
5. The resource that actually helped my out the most was observing other people’s drawings and trying to craft them into mines. 

Something I learned while doing this drawing was how to draw objects without any guide from someone. I learned how to draw something just by looking at the original picture and making an exact replica of it. By learning how to draw objects without a guide but with just a picture of it, I know that I can draw real objects in life without having problem with it. In fact, my skill of drawing a real object will increase now. The resource that helped me the most to draw this was the website’s steps on how to start it and our art teacher’s (Mrs.Hull) advices. She told

     Even though I believe that my skills increased in drawing, my drawing of this room was not perfect. If I had a chance to do this assignment again, I would make the center square with the vanishing point a little bit larger, and put the light that is on the ceiling in the center. My advice to someone who has never drawn a one point drawing is telling them to imagine how that object might look like if you were above, side, or below it and make the drawing. If one imagines it in this type of way, one can know how to make the drawing a little bit more realistic. 

By knowing how to do this I was able to create door ways and window frames.

If I were to do this assignment again, I would make sure to make the lines darker so that it is more visible in the photo.

Make sure that your lines are only either horizontal (up and down), vertical (left and right), orthogonal (to the vanishing point).

The olejarz website really helped me grasp the idea of one point perspective and how to make things pop out into space.
