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.

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

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. 

This is a picture of my perspective drawling. The drawling reflects the back wall of the classroom. I started the drawling by making a large square in the middle of the paper. In the exact middle of that square is also the middle of the paper. That middle of the paper is the vanishing point. All of my shapes and lines are based off of the vanishing point. Somethings that were easy to learn was making the different angels of walls. Hard things in drawling the part of the room was sizing the windows and furniture.
An artist I choose that I think completed the project well was Victoria Odom. She started her sketching lightly and shaded her shapes with the right detail. Over all her drawling reflects the part of the room.

In Red Art, we first started to draw with horizontal, vertical, and orthaganol lines. We also used the vanishing point to make everything 3D and more precise. After drawing lines we practiced how to draw 3D objects such as doors and windows by drawing a bedroom. We continued to draw with vertical lines and vanishing points. After drawing rooms we progressed on to a even bigger project. We started drawing a large drawing of the Art Studio. Below is the picture of the drawing. The vanishing point is inside the smart board which is the back wall of my drawing. I had to use my vanishing point to draw a line to draw two more walls on both sides of the back wall and the ceiling. It was very difficult to draw the lines to make them more accurate since we couldn't depend on using out own eye to draw. We had to use the vanishing point for support instead. It was easier to learn where each wall was an how to draw them.

A good example of a drawing that was exceptional in this project would be James's drawing. He understand how to draw the different walls using the vanishing point.

Well the project started by the square in the middle of the paper and then the point of intersection. We had to make the ceiling tiles and the above first, it was mainly just using the different types of lines and shapes. 
The way i planned out to complete my project was i would finish a certain part every class but it didn't work out that way. I finished the beginning but when it came to the bottom. So it kinda evened out.
The easiest part was the lining being the fact that I had art last year I am familiar with it all. Also where the placement was that was easy as well.
The hardest part to learn draw was the putting all the details in the objects like in the window the blinds were difficult to draw. And the ceiling tiles were had to get straight but i I tried my best.
Victoria Odom
I chose Victorias because I think hers was well done. The way her picture came out in the end was perfect and the fact that she helped me made it even better, She has potential!

When starting off this project we started off with boxes. These boxes helped up with three-d perspective drawing so that we know how to start off with the room. Once we knew how to do that we started drawing doors and objects in our room. In order to do that we learned how to use our vanishing points so that the objects will be done correctly and cross through our vanishing point. Our class learned that only two types of lines could be used when doing this which are vertical and horizontal. With knowing this we were free from using any other lines. In order to do this project we had to draw the walls of our room starting from one wall which would be our main wall. 

The things that were easy to learn was putting each object and making sure that they go through the vanishing point as well as figuring out how to make the tiles of the ceiling.


What was difficult when making this art assignment was drawing straight lines for me as well as making things look three-d.

Jaccar Garcia-What makes Jaccar's drawing successful is that her lines are straight and her drawing is centered correctly. All of her objects go through the vanishing point, too.

So today I jut realized that "Scream 4" comes to theaters next Friday! That's sooner than I thought. I still can't wait to see this movie. Yesterday I followed Wes Craven on Twitter and he's just as excited for the premiere.
