I learned about the way the vanishing point influences a lot of the lines of the furniture. It is interesting to think that one little point influences the drawing so much. I didn't really have that good of a grasp on the whole concept and I still have a ton to learn about it, but this project helped me understand the idea of perspective a significant amount more than when I started out.

This learning helped my drawing look like a real room. It popped out more than it would have otherwise. It would have looked unintentionally wonky, like some substandard, weird, second-rate Picasso imitation. As I looked at my lines according to the vanishing point, the whole idea of perspective was able to click a bit better. My room, although still at this point a bit bare-bones, looks like an outline of a room.

I would pay more attention while making my back wall. At the very beginning, and for the rest of the project as well, I felt a tad intimidated. I sort of hurried through making my back wall and it ended up costing me later. The wall was the wrong shape and I had to fix that. Restarting ended up costing me quite a lot of time. Next time I would also see Ms. Hull more for help as she was very helpful when went to her.

My advice to someone who has never drawn in one point perspective is to take your time, especially when making the foundations of the drawing. The details are much more easy to fix. However, if you mess up something in the foundations, this can take a large toll on the rest of your drawing.

The resource that helped me the most was Ms. Hull. When I went to her we talked about the different types of line relationships, if that makes any sense. We looked at the lines that are parallel to each other and the lines that go to the vanishing point. She also did some sketches demonstrating these concepts that I was able to look at later to be reminded of what I needed to do. 

I would like to think that given another opportunity to do this, I could do better. I know that my current drawing is somewhat lacking but I am still proud of what I accomplished despite what I did being nothing to someone of a higher caliber than myself. 

I think my most useful resource was Jasim Gilliam. She was drawing the same side of the room as I was, and she helped me a lot with everything. Without her my drawing would stink.

I learned how to make the lines all go to a certain vanishing point.

 How did learning this thing make your drawings better.

Knowing how make lines go to a vanishing point made the drawing look three dimensional. 

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

I would be more careful when measuring out the ceiling and floor tiles because i had some trouble with that.

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

Make sure that you map out the drawing correctly before starting.

What resource helped you the most and why?

Th website “ How to Draw using One Point Perspective” on instructables.com 

Helped me the most because it showed me how to draw in one point perspective.

a. I learned how to not make all of the details flat. I learned how to make every detail more outstanding by making the outline of the door and a window.

b. It made my drawings more detail and outstanding. It was very interesting of how the details came out of the art room.

c. I would work at a faster pace because to me I felt really slow while working on this project. My classmates had hard times while working so I was nice and I helped them out.

d.  My advice would be practice makes perfect because people are going to need a lot of help so either I or a teacher, or maybe a parent can help for practice.

e. The resource that help me the most was Mrs. Hull’s powerpoint on moodle because it gives me a great explanation on how to get a great start on the drawling.

I am back to writing art blogs on the photos I redo on Drawingspace.com. This time I started with the section F, since I am moving along in the process. Section F is Hatching, and hatching is when you achieved realistic shading to photographs. I created  different pictures from this sections. My shading did improve I felt as though it helped me so much. If you look below there is a picture of a tulip that I feel as though shows how my shading improved. Also, the seahorse shows my skills that I gained from this section.  

Then I started to draw pictures from section G. Section G was focusing on three-dimensional shapes, that makes the photo look more realistic. From this section the baldy with no ears was my best picture I drawn. I followed all directions and steps, this section made drawing come to life and better. My skills and techniques improved tremendously and made me more comfortable with my art.

Section H was a little different, because it was a combination if section F and G. Section H was focusing more on face, lips, and the human body. But drawing these I shade and make things in 3D look more realistic. I applied all the things I learned this quarter and the sections to this last section. It was very helpful and my art skills improved, all of these drawings reflect that.

Then I did a outside project from just drawing pictures on Drawingspace.com. I created a picture based on what I see. I was sitting in my room looking at the vase my mother brought me.n I started to sketch and draw it. I then was finished the sketch, I started to fill in color with red and black pastel. When it was finished I signed it and smiled. I enjoyed this work, because I applied everything I learned. I shaded, used 3D objects, and did different colors to blend. Look below for the red and black vase.

b. How did leaning this thing make your drawings better.                                            - It helped guide me with the outlines of the different objects that needed to be drawn. It also helped me visualize how to draw what I needed to easier. 

c. If you did this assignment again, what would you do differently?           - If I were given more time to complete this assignment I would definitely work on my tables a bit more and the tiles just a bit because I feel as if though i needed to work on those more then the other features of my assignment. That also took more time to draw. 

d. What is your advice to someone who has never drawn a one point perspective drawing before?           - My advice to that person would be to not give up. Mistakes are okay, eraser marks are okay. Just keep trying and you'll be a step closer toward a better outcome. I would also say to start things out as shapes. Like for instance the stools that were placed near the tables started out as squares then from there they were transformed into stools. Keep an open mind and observe. 

e. What resource helped you the most and why?           - One resource that was really helpful was the slide that Ms. Hull the art teacher of Science Leadership Academy created for us and posted on moodle. I feel as if though that has a lot of good techniques and helped me visualize things also better.

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

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

 I think I would put more detail in the drawing because mine is kind of plain and a little light.

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

 My Advice would be to take your time and  see more than what you have on your piece of paper because that drawing can be the best thing that you've ever done in art.

e. What resource helped you the most and why? 

The Most resource that helped me the most was my peers. My peers really showed me what I was doing good and what I had to change and also helped me do this to show me how things are supposed to look.

I learned more about how to set up the back wall. At first I was unsure of how to set it up but by relying on my artists eye I was able to fix the proportions. I also discovered how to shade my drawing better.

If I did not have the back wall drawn to proportion my whole project would not correspond to the actual shape and layout of the room. The shading made it look less two dimensional.

If I remade my assignment I would make sure to add more details and that the stools and table are to scale. I would also shade more and add texture to the furniture and tiles, in other words make it look realistic.

The first thing I would tell them is that you need to make sure that the vanishing point and back wall (If they are drawing a room) are in the appropriate location. From there place the major components such as windows, tiles, and tables, after this you can move on to details. Remember to connect everything back to the vanishing point.

I mainly just drew what I saw and what looked correct. I did not use any websites, but I did check in with my peers to see if I was headed in a good direction or if everything looked to scale.
