Final Perspective Drawing

Posted by Jade Schweitzer in Art - Freshman - Hull on
One thing I learned in the process of drawing this I have learned was how to draw orthogonal lines that are straight and go all the way back to your vanishing point, making things look genuinely 3D.An orthogonal line is a line that connects to another line creating a right angle. An orthogonal line alone would just look normal and flat but when you combine it with our vanishing point technique then you get to see a whole new picture that has become 3D and seems to be real.This made my drawing better by giving my sketches mew depth. Before I learned about orthogonal lines all my work looked flat and dull but after learning and understanding how to use orthogonal lines it brought a whole new type of life into my works.If I where to re-draw this I would hang the way I colored the picture. I used crayon, which I thought would give the finished product a more soft look to it giving it a sort of flow making it easy to look at. Although I realized after I finished coloring that it took away from the meaning in my pencil lines, making the picture look childish overall. Tracing the lines with crayon was also very difficult, my lines came out different widths and lengths making quite a few of my lines appear to be tilted when they where not, taking away from the finished look.Some advice I have for someone who has never drawn in one point perspective would be, to sit down with your drawing and take your time, rushing will just make you frustrated, and that will make your lines crooked. Also don't be afraid to erase, you are going to make mistakes and your going to have to make lines in places that will get covered with other shapes. If you need to erase do so.The most helpful resource at my disposal I would say, would have to be my peers. I was unsure about what to do when I started drawing and I almost gave up, but before I had a chance a few of my classmates came up to me and got me drawing. When I would get frustrated and thrown my ruler and swear I was quitting my peers would calm me down and explain what I was doing wrong to help me finish. All in all without them I wouldn't have had the patience to finish my perspective.

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

One thing that I've learned is that most 3D Drawings uses One-point perspective. I also learned that all of your lines must return to the vanishing point.
 

b. How did leaning this thing make your drawings better?

It helped make my drawings better becasue it showed me how to properly and evenly make the drawing in one-perspective. It also help me with drawing props in one point perspective.

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

I would have to add color to my room and add more props.

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

My best advice is to someone is to practice, practice, PRACTICE! It will help for your final drawing. And also use your resources wisely.


e. What resource helped you the most and why?


The moodle slideshow because it hepled me get a better understanding of what to do and how to do it.

​a. What is one thing that your learned specifically that you did not know before?
I learned the use of new words such as orthogonal and vanishing point. 
b. How did learning this thing make your drawings better? 
This helped me learn because I could guide my self through the the rest of the drawing. 
c. If you did this assignment again, what would you do differently?
If I could do this differently I would do this over. I would stay more focused in class and still continue to do good work.
d. What is your advice to someone who has never drawn a one point perspective drawing before?
I would advise never give up because there will come points where you will want to quit. 
e. What resource helped you the most and why?
Mrs. Hull was the best resource. She helped me when I was confused and frustrated. I also thank her for listing websites that also helped guide us when she was not available.

Quarter 3 Art Work - Kennedy Coverdale

Posted by Kennedy Coverdale in Art Advanced - Hull on
Just like the last two quarters, our class has been learning how to draw by using Drawspace.​This quater was really focused on shading and hatching with just a pencil. I found this highly difficult because I've never worked with something like this before. Every drawing was supposed to look three-dimensional, which was really cool. The other difference with this quarter is that we had to do some sort of outside art project. I chose to do a ceiling tile to put my permanent mark on SLA. The ceiling tile is of the logo from Half-Life 2, one of my favorite video games.

Below is a slideshow of all the art work I did this quarter.

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

One of the things I learned that I did not know before was how to draw perspective

b. How did leaning this thing make your drawings better.

Learning perspective let me make 3D room drawings such as this one and the other ones we made in your class.

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

If I redid this assignment I would spend more time on the tables and the window

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

I would tell them to make sure that their orthogonal's are correct, otherwise you may have to redo your whole drawing if you don't catch the mistake early.

e. What resource helped you the most and why?


The resource that helped me the most was the slideshow because it showed me how to start my drawing.

​

Doing this project, I have learned something really cool. A skill I’ve always wowed. I have learned how to draw in 3D. I never knew the technique and when others drew using this technique, I just gaped. Learning how to draw in one point perspective has made me a better artist. My art looks a lot more interesting and realistic. Learning this technique, I’ve become more advanced in this subject and I’ve also learned that hard work and determination pays off at the end. I got this piece of art created by myself, which I am really proud of. But if there was a chance to do this assignment again, I would first read the instructions clearly and use my class work time wisely. I feel like I tried to rush through some of the steps and thats why I messed up a lot. However, I’m glad that I didn’t give up. My advice for someone who is drawing something like this is to have goals, work your way towards them and don’t give up until you reach those goals. Use all the resources you have to make your drawing the best art you’ve ever drawn. I used rulers, the tiles of the floor to make straight lines, pencils, big erasers for my big mistakes, color pencils, and markers. All these tools together has helped me make an art that I call my finest.

Answers
A) One thing that I did not know before this art clase was that math and art can go hand to hand.
b)It helped because I'm usually very good at math so having a good understanding of how to use a ruer really helped me throughout this art project.
c)I would of started with the the windows and tables then would of worked my way to the floor and ceiling tiles.
d)While drawing make sure ALL of your lines go towards your vanishing point.
e)The resources that helped me the most was the eraser. Through the course of this project I had to eraser dozens of lines to make it perfect.

Final Perspective Drawing

Posted by Michaela Prell in Art - Freshman - Hull on

I had no idea how to draw in one point perspective when I came to SLA. This project me taught how to draw things in one point perspective. I also now see things around the city, and think, “I could draw that from one point perspective.” I have have thought this befor, and this project has given me more confidence when it comes to drawing. This made my drawings better, because I never really drew other than scribbles in my notebooks. Now that I have completed a drawing, I want to do more. If I could do this assignment again, I would make sure I had more time to add detail and color. I used my time in class well, but I am not the fastest worker. I take my time to make things as best I can. Next time I would push myself to work faster while still doing the best work I can. My advice to someone who has never drawn a one point perspective work of art is that they make sure to be very precise, because if you only have one measurement, or line that does not look right, then your whole drawing looks off. In all honesty the most helpful resources I used was my ruler. When I first started the drawing, It was hard for me to envision where I would make my lines, or make measurements, because I did not have a very well developed artist's eye. The ruler helped me make my lines straight, and have precise measurements. After a while, My artist’s eye started to develop, and I know that the ruler I used played a part in that.

Before I started this unit, I didn't know anything about art, except lines and horizons. When my teacher told my 9th grade class that we had to draw her room, we all we over whelmed. Before we got started, we did the basics. I learned what orthogonal lines were and how to draw figures and objects 3D. I also learned how to be patient and that messing up comes with perfection.
Learning this information helped me to draw my room. It helped me because now that I can draw things like helper lines, it can help guide me in the direction in which I am supposed to be.
If I were to do this assignment again, I would choose a different wall to draw. I would because I would like to know the process of each wall and how my classmates handled their art work.
The advice I would give someone who is about to draw a one point perspective drawing...? I would tell them to take their time, expect mistakes to happen, and be patient. All these things would help them to have a great drawing.
I would say my classmates and Ms.Hull helped me the most. I say that because without the help of others and the guidance of my teacher, I would most likely have a worst drawing.

Final Perspective Drawing - Blue Stream

Posted by Mia Weathers-Fowler in Art - Freshman - Hull on
A. During this project I learned so much! One of the most interesting things that I learned was then when drawing in one point perspective, I would only be using 3 types of lines: horizontal, vertical, and lines to my vanishing point. 

B. Learning about the three types of lines improved my drawing immediately. When I used a line that was not vertical, horizontal, or to my vanishing point, it wouldn't look realistic. I remember this because I had a random diagonal line while drawing my door. After changing that one line and drawing it to the vanishing point, my door looked so much better. 

C. If I did this assignment again I would definitely start earlier. Ten weeks is a long time to do a project so naturally in the beginning I did not use my time wisely. Then when it got down to one week left I started getting stressed out. So, if I had to do it again I would make better use of the time we were given.

D. My advice to a person who has never drawn a one point perspective would be to take your time and don't be afraid of your eraser! It can be really overwhelming to be told to draw a whole room in one point perspective. Especially to a person like me who has never felt particularly good at art. However, if you take it one step at a time it becomes much easier. You absolutely cannot be afraid of your eraser because during this project it will be your best friend. Making mistakes is apart of the process and things will get erased over and over again.

E. The resource that most helped me was the step by step presentation that was on Moodle. I would have been lost without it. The hardest part was starting, so having a guide was really helpful. By the end I got comfortable enough to figure it out on my own, but in the beginning it was a huge help!

One thing that I learned is what/how to use the vanishing point. This helped me keep my in the one point perspective that was required. I think if I was to do this assignment again I would try and not be so "nit picky". I think this used up the majority of the my time. If I had just trust myself and kept what I drew the first time.
The advice I would give to someone else doing this project would to always use your ruler and make sure that it always stayed straight. If it is not the entire room will look off center. The three resources that helped me the most were Ms.Hull, the ruler and an eraser. Ms.Hull helped me figure out where everything went and how to put them there. The ruler then helped me get them there with beautiful straight lines. Then there was the eraser, I think I went through three whole erasers throughout this project. It was definitely my best friend. Overall this project taught me a lot about how to draw in one point perspective that I never knew before.

Final Perspective Drawing

Posted by Aaron Block in Art - Freshman - Hull on

a) One thing I learned from this project that I did not know before was how to draw a ceiling line. Also, I learned how to draw all different kinds of objects in one point perspective, not just tables.

b) These things helped make my drawing better because I could make the room itself look more realistic. In addition, I could include other details of the room in one point perspective.

c) If I did this project, I would spend more time on the details. I feel like I spent a lot of time on the “big picture” of the drawing. If I spent more time on details, I think I could have made the picture look fuller.

d) If someone was trying to draw a one point perspective drawing, I would say to them that they should always pay extra careful attention to which sides should be exposed in the drawing and which should not.

e) The resource that helped me the most was the slideshow on moodle. It really helped me figuring out where to start.

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

       One thing I learned to do was how to draw from different perspectives. I initially had no idea on how to and have always wanted to, but didn't know where to start. I'm actually pretty happy that Ms. Hull decided to give this unit as our first art assignment because it will truly benefit me in the long run. I feel as though I can add life and substance to the things I draw now, not only drawing people, but backgrounds and scenery as well.

2. How did learning this thing make your drawings better.

     Now I actually have an idea of what I'm doing when I am drawing a landscape or room. At first when looking at many of the rooms that other professional artists have drawn, I thought that they had naturally knew how to make furniture and rooms from all perspectives. But after Ms. Hull teaching my classmates and I know how to do so. I am pretty confident and creating all sorts of rooms and knowing what I am doing now.

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

     I would draw a different, more complex room. Considering I have a confident perspective on how to do so. I think drawing a different environment with more details and curved objects would be a challenge, which is necessary to know when pursuing a career in the art industry.

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

     Depending on what perspective they are going for, I would tell them to simply place a dot in the middle of the page. Use a ruler to create an outline of the object they are making. And then draw orthogonal lines to create dimension that would apply or look similar to the real world.

5. What resource helped you the most and why?

    The drawings that Ms. Hull placed around the class really helped. And the online tutorials on moodle catered as well. In my spare time, I would look in comic books and pay attention to the way the illustrators drew their rooms. I would point on the things they did wrong, and pay attention to they things they did right. I then tried to incorporate that into my own drawing.

a. What is one thing that your learned specifically that you did not know before.
One thing that I learned was making the drawing look 3D.
  b. How did leaning this thing make your drawings better.
It makes the drawing better because it makes it stand out and it's not flat.

  c. If you did this assignment again, what would you do differently?
If would draw another perspective of the room.
  d. What is your advice to someone who has never drawn a one point perspective drawing before?
To try to make it 3D and just do it as how the real view of the room looks like.
  e. What resource helped you the most and why?
the resources that helped me the most was the presentation tat showed me how to do it.

Ángel Dulce por Luis Royo de La Mama de Machuca

Posted by Sasha Sapp in Spanish 4 - Manuel on

¿Quién yo soy? Soy una mujer quien se intenta a apoyar a mi familia. Una mujer quien se trabaja solamente para tener los mínimos básicos por mis cariños. Entiendo el sufrimiento porque he sido pobre por todo de mi vida, y por eso, aprecio a todo me recibo. 

Soy la mama de Machuca, y mi familia y yo vivimos en Chile. Estamos de pocos recursos, pero, nos amamos sin embargo. En este momento, hay un división entre la clase alta y la clase pobreza, y la tensión entre los dos es fuerte. Al primero, habrá algún forma de esperanza cuando el Salvador Allende era al presidente, pero, cuando el General Pinochet se derrocó el gobierno, todo se cambió. Por este momento, lo veo el mundo como así.

Primero, en esta pintura, Ángel Dulce por Luis Royo, puedo ver una mujer y lo que creo son tres hombres. La mujer está sentando en el suelo, y los hombres, quienes están cubierto totalmente, se están arrodillado al lado de la mujer. Uno de los hombres está tendiendo un espejo al frente de la mujer, y ella se le mira. El otro, está lavando el dorso de la mujer. Los colores son oscuros; hay mucho morena y variaciones de naranja. Pero, la mujer es casi blanca. En total, el tono de la obra es espiritual, y me da el sentimiento que estoy sintiendo la toca del hombre. También, por algún razón, siento tranquila cuando la veo esta obra.   

En el 1973, el mundo se cambió. Para mi, tenia miedo y era enojada con todo por la tratamiento que recibimos mi familia. Fue un dia normal hasta el militar de Pinochet se derrumbaron a mi aldea, y él se tomó poder. Nunca olvidaré cuando los soldados se vinieron y se atacaron mis vecinos, mis cariños, y mis amigos. Nunca olvidaré cuando un soldado mató la amiga de mi hijo. Los acontecimientos que se ocurrieron me dió la perspectiva que la tengo aún ahora. 

Para mi, esta obra se representa la subyugación constante de la mujer. Lo puedo ver en la posición de ella. Su idioma del cuerpo dice que ella se les escucha a todo lo que exigen, porque se está agacha. También, el hecho que the mujer no está vestido totalmente me mira la vulnerabilidad de las mujeres. Aún más, durante los acciones de los hombres, ella le ve, pero es porque lo tiene que. Entonces, el espejo se simboliza la realidad de opresión. Y por eso, el artista probablemente se quisó que presentar el mismo mensaje- las mujeres ya tampoco luchar para la libertad actual. Lo creo porque la mayoría del arte de pintura se presentan las mujeres en maneras sexuales y liberadas, y por este representación, Royo también lucha por el próximo revolución para las mujeres. Por eso, él la pintó.

Puedo relatar completamente con los imágenes en el foto. Desde mi punto de vista, la idea que me mira la sociedad como “a bajo” no es una nueva idea. He visto muchas veces cuando una mujer fue dominado de los hombres, y la sociedad. Finalmente, me siento poderosa y tengo la confianza en la progresión de las mujeres. 

Así lo veo; esta obra me hace recordar lo que esta bien y lo que esta mal. Pero, puedo ver mi papel como una mujer por esta obra también. Esto es el razon por que me llamó la atención; los papeles de las mujeres ya tampoco necesitan que cambiar- necesitan mejorar. La escogí esta obra para compartir mis sentimientos lo que se expresa la obra. Y por eso, estoy de acuerdo con el pinto. La obra me da las memorias del 1973, no obstante, me hace sentir alegría para el futuro. La guerra para la equalidad no ha terminado, y nosotros, los igualitarios, no vamos a rendir.

Q3 Art Portfolio CPagan

Posted by Cheyenne Pagan in Art - Senior Art - Hull on
Link to Art portfolio Keynote

This quarter we were given the assignment to learn and draw from an online art course. In the beginning I wasn't too excited to do this because I felt like I wouldn't learn anything from the lessons, however, I learned small tips and techniques from doing each drawing. I definitely pushed my abilities by doing the pictures that were done in colored pencil. I'm the type of person that enjoys expanding my abilities across a multitude of different mediums, this assignment allowed me to do that. I have a hard time shading a picture without precise detail and I feel like the cross shading and the scribble technique that was used in a few of the lessons helped me loosen up with my attention to detail. Admittedly, the objects weren't exactly things that I would've personally chosen to draw and add to my portfolio but looking over all of the ones that I have done I find myself admiring the technique that I used more than the actual picture.If I was to do something like this over again I would probably force myself to step out of my comfort zone even more and do more pictures in color. 

Boys Ultimate Beats Masterman

Posted by Christopher Lehmann on
On Thursday, the Boys Ultimate team beat Masterman HS 15-9, marking the first time SLA Ultimate has beaten Masterman. SLA was led by the defensive heroics of junior Roberto Abazoski and sophmore Pierce Luck. Junior captain Rob Jenkins threw four of SLA's 15 goals, and sophomore True Black scored the game winner. The team put together its most complete game of the year, playing precision Ultimate on both offense and defense. 

SLA continues its season on Saturday morning at Edgely Fields for a tournament that will see them face off against Lower Merion, Methacton and Archbishop Carroll. Go Rockets!

Final Perspective Drawling

​

  • a. What is one thing that your learned specifically that you did not know before. I think that I learned how to be more patient. I learned how to draw in 3D. 

    b. How did leaning this thing make your drawings better. It made my drawling look better. If i didn't learn perpective my art work wouldn't look as good. 

    c. If you did this assignment again, what would you do differently? I think I would take more time. I would use my time more wisely. 

    d. What is your advice to someone who has never drawn a one point perspective drawing before? I would tell them to take their time and try not to give frustrated and give up. After awhile I got frustrated and felt like I wanted to give up. 

    e. What resource helped you the most and why? The ruler helped the most because without that I would have a lot of trouble drawling the classroom.

a. What is one thing that your learned specifically that you did not know before.
- I didn't know how to draw in one point perspective at all and orthogonals.

b. How did leaning this thing make your drawings better.

- I know how to make orhtogonal lines now, and it looks better and helped make things 3D.

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

- I'd probably spend more time in detail and I would have took my time instead of trying to rush everything.

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

- My advice to anyone who has never drawn in one point perspective is that you need to be very patient with yourself. There are going to be times when you don't know what you're going to next but you have to think for a second, take a deep breath, and keep drawing. 

e. What resource helped you the most and why?


- The resource that helped me the most in the process was my friends and Ms. Hull's instruction on the toturial, it made it easy to understand.

Third Quarter Artwork - Max Amar-Olkus

Posted by Max Amar-Olkus in Art Advanced - Hull on
This quarter I focused on photography as a form of expression. I got started by being involved with the "My Hometown" project though the New York Times photography blog, Lens. They wanted a meaningful representation of 21st century America through the eyes of high schoolers. The images will be archived in the Library of Congress. To put my photographic style into a genre, it would probably be considered 'urban'. I had a strong focus on the use of color and geometric shapes in the pictures I captured. For my outside project I designed and built my own bicycle. 

This is the link to my photography portfolio. 

Below are some pictures of my bicycle for my outside project. 

Thank You.

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

I learned about the use of lines and vanishing points to help draw in perspective.

b. How did learning this thing make your drawings better.

It helped make my drawing better because I was able to accurately draw the different pieces of furniture in the room.

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

If I did this assignment again, I would make sure to as for more help instead of doing things on my own.


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

My advice is to take your time, and make sure not to get frustrated. Once you get frustrated, your drawing begins to look worse.

e. What resource helped you the most and why?

My most helpful resource was Ms. Hull because she gave subtle hints that helped perfect my drawing.

b. How did leaning this thing make your drawings better.
Showed me that I needed to concentrate way better on my drawings than I already did.
c. If you did this assignment again, what would you do differently?
I would probably try to work a little more on the drawings of the furniture around the room.

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

Try your hardest to try and observe what your surrounding objects look like before you start drawing.
e. What resource helped you the most and why?
The powerpoint presentation that we were presented access to in the beginning of the project. I found that it was a great resource for help when I found that I could not do certain parts of it.

Final Perspective Drawing - Green, 2013, perspective.

Posted by Hannah Nicoletti in Art - Freshman - Hull on

1.) Something that I learned is how to outline a one point perspective drawing, before drawing the vanishing point. More specifically, I learned what a vanishing point is.

2.) Learning this made my drawings better, because without knowing about the vanishing point, my lines would look disproportionate. 

3.) If I did this assignment again, I would add more details to the room. I would also make sure everything was drawn the correct size.

4.) My advice to someone who has never drawn a one point perspective drawing before would be never draw a line without a ruler, because they will look very wrong. Also, never guess where a line goes, because again, it won't look right.

5.) The resource that helped me the most was a ruler, because my lines are straight, and I can make sure they are drawn in the right spot by using either inches or centimeters and making marks along the paper.
