We started this project by drawing boxes in one point perspective.  This was easy at first, but quickly became difficult with the ever increasing demand to draw.  We then drew our first room in one point perspective.  The room only had walls, a door, a window, and a rug.  It was done quickly, and then we started to draw our room on our own.  It was very difficult and I feel very accomplished that I did an ok job.
Nick Doroba  did a very good job on this project.  He found a perfect way to mix hard lines and soft lines to create a drawing full of lines!!  He put all of the objects in very good perspective, which I enjoyed.

I took this process day by day. The process I used was that everyday I would work on something new. To make sure I can complete the topic. It was easy when we first started. It was easy to draw the windows and everything. When I first started that was bout the easiest thing to do. The rest of the assignment was VERY hard for me. I knew what I wanted to do, but when I tried to draw it, it just wouldn't do it. Trying to make things seem 3D, and as though an actual person was looking at it, was very hard for me. So I tried my best to complete this assignment. 

 Nicholas Doroba's  project impressed me. When he drew it, I could actually feel like I was looking at the room. His drawing was very descriptive and captured the room well.

Believe it or not, we started this project out by drawing 3D boxes to endure the understanding of 3 dimensional figures. While doing this, we learned that when drawing 3D figures and the object is on the left you see the right, when the object is on the right you see the left, when the object is above the vanishing point you see the bottom, and when the object is below the vanishing point you see the top. After grasping the concept of 3D figures, we learned how to draw a ceiling that is formed by tiles. After leaning and understanding everything, we took a close look at the Art Studio, and had to try our best to draw everything how we saw it.

I took the concepts learned and took things step by step. First I drew the  obvious, the big window on the far wall. From there, I drew the floor and ceiling lines. Next, I took the ceiling, drew the best 60-degree angle, and had the vertical lines intersect it at multiple points. Then from the intersection points, I drew my horizontal lines, therefore creating my tiled ceiling. From here on out, I took the objects in the room and drew them where there were located, then made it 3D by taking the side of the object that we would see and brought the cornered lines back to the vanishing point, creating it to be 3D.

I think the hardest thing for me to learn was that when drawing in 3D; left is right, right is left, bottom is top, and top is bottom.

I think the easiest thing for me to learn was bringing the corners back to the vanishing point.

Tamatha Lancaster did am over-all well rounded job. Her work came to life once I laid my eyes on it. It was almost like I was really there. The way she drew her shades is also realistic, because people would draw straight lines, but she drew them as they were, crooked. I admire how Tamatha brought her work to life and hope that one day I will be able to put as much effort into my work as she did.  

Our whole project was to be able to draw from a certain perspective, the project was also to draw from a vanishing point. With the boxes we drew from the center of the box/paper which is the vanishing point.

The process of this project was to use exact measurements with the ruler to show that you are using more than artistic skill to draw. This process was to actually use the real items in the room and draw them.

From this project I learned how to draw and how to draw what I actually see. Not just to draw from my head. Now It's clear that I can draw what I see and put as much detail into my art work. I believe drawing from a certain perspective using a vanishing point really helps me.

One of the hardest things to learn was the measurements and detail. To draw everything you see from your perspective is hard. To draw using a ruler not only for a straight edge but to measure was hard.

The reason why I picked your project is because you show great artistic skill; I really like the fact that you drew from the vanishing point. I also like how you put detail in the picture. When I looked at your photo then looked around the room, every detail was there, the bike, curtains, tables, and paint desk with sink. It was really good. Nice detail, followed direction by drawing from the vanishing point and had good measurements of where to put the items around the room into your drawing.

"Shit ain't all G with him no more, you ain't entertained. Since I met you a couple months ago you ain't been the same."

"Whenever you need me, whenever you want me. You know you can call me. I'll be there shortly. Don't care what your friends say, cause they don't know me. I can be your bestfriend, and you be my homie. I ain't gonna flex, i'm not gonna front. You know if I ball then we all gonna stunt. Send her my way she ain't got hold up. Whenever you call baby I roll up."

My benchmark is up and running and it's going okay. I'm finding that it is really difficult to write things like statuses in different voices for my characters because it isn't even like a journal where you're personality really comes out in your grammar and vocabulary. So, I'm using a lot of actions to describe characters and develop relationships, but it just doesn't feel the same. But, I'm hitting the main parts of my time line and doing okay at giving people an idea of what my characters are like. It's weird for me, I didn't realize how awkward this benchmark was going to make me feel. Luckily, the main event is coming soon so we'll see.

​First off we started to learn the point of perspective. First we found the middle of the paper and that was called the horizon line.  The middle of the horizon line is the vanishing point.  Then we learned the points of view.  Above the line is worms eye view, middle of line is standing, and bellow is birds eye view.  We did our letter in our names 3D in perspective. Then we learned how to use orthogonal lines, horizontal lines, vertical lines, and diagonal lines.  We did a step by step instruction on how to draw our rooms and how to use the lines.  The hardest part for me would be to make thing look like they are going in or it coming out.

I think that Alisha Clark did her drawing well.  It showed all the things that we learned and everything is in the right place.  It is also very detailed.

                                    This quarter in art, Green Stream was introduced to one-point perspective drawings. To start to figure it out, we had to take baby steps. We first started with drawing horizon lines and vanishing points. To do this we drew a strait line across the paper horizontally, this was the horizon line. To draw the vanishing point, we had to pick a point on that line to put a small dot. After that, we watched tutorials on how to draw orthogonal lines, which come from the vanishing point

 After all of these tutorials on how to draw certain objects, such as doors, windows and ceiling tiles, we were able to start drawing the big picture! We had to start by drawing a box as one of the walls. By doing that we were able to find the ceiling, walls and floor. I messed up at one point when I was drawing the items in the floor because I didn’t put them into perspective. I started over and finally finished!

 I feel like Sara Nesbitt did a really great job on this assignment. She was able to finish the project in time and make the correct lines and proportions. If you would like to view Sara's drawing click here. My drawing is shown here.

This project was to draw the entire art room from a one-point perspective. We started by drawing an X. The X covers the entire paper traveling from the top left corner to the bottom right, and the top right to the bottom left. Drawing this X helped us find the center of the paper which would later become the vanishing point.The vanishing point is the appearance of a point on the horizon at which parallel lines converge. The X's "legs" are orthogonal as they form right angles with each other. We then drew a horizontal line traveling from the left side of the paper to the right in a straight line passing through the vanishing point. This forms the "worms view" on the bottom side of the horizontal, and the "bird's view" on the top of the horizontal. This was hard to learn at first because each line had to be perfect and parallel to others. It was easy to learn how to make the ceiling. All we had to do was to make rows of boxes that get smaller and smaller. 

I think that Alisha's project followed the rules and requirements very well.
She was able to color and complete the project. This shows that she was extremely diligent with her work, and was one of the best. She was also able to draw just about everything in the room well. She showed the relationship of the room with the vanishing point. The horizontal line defiantly showed the two different views very well. This is why I think she followed this project, and completed it well.  Green perspective Hull Schwartz

In the beginning of when this class we started learning of perspective. We drew boxes using orthogonal. Then from there we turned those boxes into creating our names. From there we moved onto making doors and windows. Using the vanishing point to get all of our lines.

Something that I found very easy and useful was the vanishing point and finding the center. We had to find the center to create the X going through our box. When we had to make lines it was easy because all we had to do was line in up with the vanishing point

Something I found difficult was making the doors and windows. I had trouble making them look 3-D and real. I’ll work on it though.

One persons artwork that I feel that did really well with her 3-D drawings was Taylor's.

The way she made her two walls look like they came of off the page was good. So she put in enough detail for it to look real. It was an overall great drawing.

This unit, we learned about one point perspective.  We watched a video telling us how to do it. Our class then did a practice drawing of a room. First, we drew the vanishing point. We learned about orthogonal lines. They are lines that eventually create an x. when they met at the vanishing point; it looked like the back of the wall. After that, we drew the door, the window and traced out the room.

Ms. Hull then gave us a project once we got the idea of the drawing. The assignment was to pick a wall in the room and draw it. Including all the details on and near that wall. She gave us a huge piece of paper and a ruler. It was easy to learn how to connect the lines to the vanishing point. I did find it hard to make everything 3D.  There is a lot of math involved with it, and the drawing took a while. 

I think Alisha did her drawing well. 

She did very good detailed work. I like all the colors and designs she put into it. 

In the beginning of the third quarter, we were told to have a sketchbook and our first assignment was to draw a horizontal line. We had to choose one point on the line, which was called the vanishing point. We had to draw 3D boxes that attached to the vanishing point at all times. We had to draw 3 boxes, one along the horizon line, one above, and one below. Our second assignment was to draw our names. We had to use all of the tools we learned from the previous class, and draw our name in bubble letters.

         For our third assignment, we had to draw a room. We watched many demonstrations for learning how to make things seem realistic on just a flat piece of paper. This prepared us for our final assignment of the quarter. We were handed a large piece of paper. We had to choose a wall in the classroom, and draw it. But everything had to come off of our horizon line.

         I first drew a sketch of the ceiling and the floor by counting the tiles there were in real life. Then I started on the windows and the pillars. Then, I worked on the details underneath the windows and walls.

         I think that the entire concept of orthogonal lines, and vertical and horizontal lines were very easy to me, even though I have never worked with perspective drawing before.

         The hard thing was making the pillars look 3D and the entire paper look like the real life wall. Overall, it was a good project, and I really enjoyed having it this quarter. 

Alisha's Drawing. 

In are class this quarter we learned how to draw things in space and in prospective. Also we leaned how to draw 3D drawings. we also prepared by cutting paper and meshing the walls
also we had guided teachings and showings of the picture. The hardiest part was drawing things in prospective and making things pop and not look like paper on the wall.

I think Brsyera could use more shading on her picture other then that it was nice.

Jovan Lewis
Your drawing looks like I'm looking right into it from a window, or like I'm standing in there.
Michael Hall
The windows are good. The detail around it, especially the blinds are drawn well. Just color it a little darker.
Maryam Biuibrahim
Your picture is upside-down, yet when I turned my head to see it, the tables popped out like it was in a 3D movie. 

The project was to draw a perspective of our art room or your bedroom or whatever room in your house. I drew the front wall of the art room. I started with the back wall. Then worked on the ceiling and floor. After that, I tried to detail the back wall as best as I can. What was easy to learn was the setup. The hard part to learn was the detail. It took me three to four class periods to get back wall.

  We started out our first art class learning perspective drawing. First we learned about the vanishing point, and how to make out pictures look like they are popping out at you. We started out by drawing squares on our paper, than we drew horizontal lines from each on the squares corners to the vanishing point. The next day we went through the same process and tried spelling our names in the squares. It was a little difficult but if you take your time it came out really nice. Than we did a room drawing all together. Everything had to look realistic so we used perspective to do that as well. Lastly we did a drawing of one wall in the room. We had about 5 class periods to do so. We had to incorporate the calls ceiling and floor into the picture this is what I got done.

 

In art class, we begun drawing with perspective. First, we started by drawing boxes that would later turn into a room based upon the perspective. We learned that if we create a vanishing point, everything in the drawing would look real. The point of this drawing was to capture SLA's art room's essence in a perspective drawing using prior knowledge of perspective drawing.


To complete this drawing I begun with the box in the center of the sheet of paper. To make the room's shape I counted how many ceiling tiles there were going across the wall. Based upon that number I got a ruler and measured out half of the number of ceiling tiles for each side so the vanishing point would be easier to find. I then found the vanishing point and got a ruler connecting from the vanishing point to each point I created for the ceiling tiles. After that, I drew a guide line that started from the edge of the box I made, to the top middle of that page. That would allow me to create the tiles easily by taking the point where the guide line crossed over the ceiling tile lines and drawing a horizontal line across each point. 

Now that I have the ceiling tiles I can make the room come a live. I started to draw the windows. To draw the windows I had to count the number of ceiling tiles the window took up. And after I found that out I could estimate the length of the window. For the window on the side of the other wall I drew the tope line by getting a ruler and drawing a line from the vanishing point and over. Because I already had other windows in the drawing I knew I could have drew the bottom line by getting a ruler and measuring from the second to last window. I begun to draw the columns in the part of the room I was drawing. To create the columns I had to bring it out instead of in, to bring the column out I drew points from each corner of the ceiling tiles in which the columns belonged. Then I drew lines coming all the way down past the square outline because the columns are supposed to coming out. 

I would say that the easiest thing for me to do was draw the little details within the drawing because the drawing was basically finished. Yet, the hardest part, for me was scaling everything down to an appropriate size where it looked like room, where everything was in perspective. But, in the end, I learned a lot about art that I never knew.

I thought that Maryam's project was well drawn. I could tell she was using guidelines which are perfect for perspective drawing. Another thing I admired about her drawings is how she made certain lines deeper, which made the drawing stand out. 

The project was to recreate a selected wall of the art studio, I choose the wall left of the desk. We first started by drawing a box (rectangle) to represent the actual wall. From there we found the vanishing point, or the center of the box. That is where we would find where each next line goes. Everything is in perspective of the vanishing point. My process was very long because it was to see if a line was straight because the edges of the paper were not straight. One thing that was easy to learn was perspective in general. By that I mean that the concept of everything has to be alined from the vanishing point was easy to understand. The most difficult thing to do was distinguishing wether or not a line was straight. 


Michael Hall

I really like your drawing, but I think that you made a mistake with the bottom of your wall, you must've thought that the whole paper was the wall. But besides that the drawing is great 

We started this project on perspective by sketching a horizontal line and putting in a vanishing point. We then made a box from on top of the point, under the point and connected each vertex to get a view on what perspective is. Then we started working on our rooms making sure everything was connected by the vanishing point and we had to measure everything down to a corresponding size.

 

The process we used was to make an equal rectangle somewhere in the middle of our paper and in the middle of that we put the vanishing point. From there we counted how many ceiling tiles and for example my wall have 12 so I made my bow length 24in and each time 2in. And drawn the lines every 2ins from the vanishing point. I did the same thing with the floor tiles but I did then every inch and then from the middle of the tiles I put about a 45-degree angle to the end of the tiles and at each intersection I crossed them. I then put the pillars in but making 2 lines, one thicker than the other and made the lines go into the ceiling and floor.

 

The things that were easy for me where tiles and pillars.

 

The things that were hard for me were the table, couch, and windows.

I think Michael completed the assignment well.

I this he did very well. It showed all his skills and looks like he tried very hard.

This project all started from when we first did the boxes in space where we had to draw a horizon line  and a vanishing point. This part was basically to start us thinking about how we was going to draw our room. Doing the boxes was really helpful because it showed us how things above that vanishing point you can not see the top. For things below the vanishing point you can only see the top and not bottom.
Next we drew a miniature room which helped a lot. It was to show us how to make objects such as doors, windows, and furniture look like their coming out the wall. Since we all know that things don't sit on the wall the come out towards you. When I drew my actually picture it was easy to draw because I had a practice run already with the miniature drawing. 
I basically used all the information that we learned before and we put it all together to make our room. When you get help piece by piece it helps you a whole lot because their not giving it to you all at once. It gives you the time to process what you learned. Even though it still can be pretty hard drawing things because it might take somebody longer to process it, but over all it's really good help.
The easiest thing for me to learn how to do was the doors, ceiling, windows, and the floor. It was easy to draw them because we had prior practice with it which helps a lot. The hardest was the furniture. It was hard because we didn't spend to much time on drawing furniture, but with the help of Mrs. Hull it made it come out okay.

Alisha Clark
I think her's was good because she can tell that she put a lot of hard work into her project. She even said that she had an outside source to help make hers better. She give good details. She did good with the whole process of the drawing. You can tell she spent her time to help her drawing come out looking good. She didn't rush through it and you can tell because of all the details she give the picture.
