How did leaning this thing make your drawings better?                                                    ~Now I can make my drawings look real and not look like cartoons.

What resource helped you the most and why?                                                                    ~The resource that helped me the most probably was Ms. Hull.

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

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

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.

Join SLA GSA in silence for LGBT Rights.

The Day of Silence is a silent protest that aims to raise awareness of the unfair treatment and prejudice that effects members of the LGBT community. Students take a stand against homophobia by staying silent throughout the school day.

If you would like to participate in SLA's Day of Silence, We will be having a check in on Friday morning before class (7:50AM-8:10PM) right in front of the office. You will receive a a ticket for the event.

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.

This quarter, I worked on a number of different art/design projects. The main project that was officially for art class was the Vans Custom Culture competition. I was in charge of designing and applying a design for the BMX, surfing and skateboarding themed classic vans shoe. My idea sprouted from the idea of transpiration and Philadelphia transportation (SEPTA) in the form of a subway map. 

I started out in adobe illustrator looking at real world subway maps and designed my own. After much thought about how to actually apply the map to the white shoe, we figured that the easiest thing to do would be to use packing tape to make a template and paint the lines on the shoe. I stayed for a few days after school working on taping and painting and finally on the day it was due I finished and the shoe was complete and ready to be photographed and submitted. 

On top of the work in art class, I also worked on a number of personal projects. The biggest of them all has been launching my website. I used adobe muse and have been building the website since December. I went into building the website without a real theme for the website, my only real idea for it, was that I wanted there to be a business card on the home page with 2 buttons going to my graphic design portfolio and the other to a photography portfolio. I built the homepage like I wanted it and continued on to designing the actual portfolios. With the help of my mentor phil, we came up with a side scrolling circle concept. It took a few weeks to finally gt the website into a form that was simple and easy for the viewer to use. 

Now that the website is usable, I’m going back and re-designing the pages and taking a second look and deciding what might be better and adding features that some users asked for. One of the big changes that I’ve made already is re-designing the home page, this iteration pulls from my vans custom culture design and uses the “subway stops” as the buttons for the contact page and both portfolios. The URL for the website is wynngearydesign.com
