This drawing is a drawing of 3 walls in the art room. Before we started drawing this we had started out with 3 3-d box's and a horizon line. Then we had took this project further and started to draw the 3- walls from 1 point perspective.
The process that I used to complete the project was first placing a vanishing point in the center of the paper. Then, I made an X. From the X I made a rectangle around the center of it. I counted how many ceiling tiles were on the roof of the main wall that I was drawing. When I got how many tiles that were on the ceiling I measured how wide each one should be on my paper then started drawing them from the vanishing point.Then I began drawing windows and everything on that one wall. Made a floor line and drew everything that was on the two walls that were next to the wall. I then added all the little details of the 3 walls.
What was easy to learn was the windows. Once I figured out what tile they were on, on the ceiling that was really easy after. Because I knew their place on the wall.
The hardiest thing to learn was the couch. The couch was free-handed and it was hard to draw that. Also, it was hard to make the tables look 3-D.This project really stood out to me because it played my eyes as if i was looking at a 3-D image. It popped and looked like it was our room. It made me think about where is his vanishing point and how did he draw his orthaginals from it ? All these questions rose from this drawing . And it was completed , and all came from the vanishing point. Thats why I chose this picture.
The project had a background to it. I had to draw two different things before I drew my final drawing. The first drawing was the perspective of drawings. We were learning how to draw boxes from a worm and bird's view. I drew a horizon line in the center of the page. The worm was at the bottom left of the page and the bird was at the upper right of the page. If I drew a box in the bottom left portion of the horizon line, it would be as if I was looking at the box from the bird's perspective. If I drew a box from the upper right portion of the horizon line, it would be as if I at the box from the worm's perspective. The second drawing that I did showed me how to pay attention to detail. Mrs. Hull told everyone in the class to take put their shoe and draw it. I sat the shoe in front of me and started drawing it paying attention to little details. These two drawing helped me greatly with the final drawing.
For the final drawing, I had to draw Mrs. Hull's room. We had to take perspective into play by using horizontal and orthogonal lines. I also had to pay attention to little details in her room. When I was drawing this, I split my work into for sections on the piece of paper. Each day I would work on a different section. This helped y workload. This was a hard project to complete because it required a lot of effort. However, the other drawing helped me to understand what I was doing a lot better.
Drawing I thought were well drawn:
Tamatha Lancaster's picture was very well drawn.
It was realistic. She payed attention to little details. It was neatly done.
When I was looking at it, I felt like I was in the room.
So how did I come to this point. After attempting to fallow Ms. Hulls instructions, it came up with what you see in this present moment. It all started from drawing boxes on a paper. From the paper we learned the horizon line, one-point perspective, and birds eye and worm eye view. Using the acquired skills, I applied them to making a one-point drawing of the room. My perspective started with me looking at the smart board. Then center dot was supposed to be at the middle of the board. So I drew the front wall. Then I started making the window. After that, I attempted to draw the chair but got frustrated in at the end. Pretty much it. Not the most interesting story but thats how it is.
Process: It all started form the drawing the smart board. I draw it and use it as an anchor for finding the center of the room. Well, at least I tried too anyway. From the center of the room, I started to draw the two doors that were on either side of the smart board. That help establish the edges of the that one particular wall. From the left side of the door that was on the left, I started on the windows. Not the best thing ever, but I tried. All the lines were supposed to go to the vanishing point that was I the smart board. After that was established, I got working at the back part of the room where it kind of went in. I drew that door and everything seem to fall I place. Then it got all weird and the flow was disturbed.
The easiest thing to learn was establishing the horizon line. The hardest thing to learn was the one-point perspective. It was hard to make everything even with everything else. It was extremely challenging, but my efforts are shown in the picture above.
I find Nick Doroba's drawing to be very extravagant and professionally produced. It makes you feel like your in the room, with great detail added to the drawing as a whole. It's in perfect one-point perspective that is simply unbelievable.
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.
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.
Comments:
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.
