Jessica Maiorano - One point perspective

We started out with a big piece of paper and then made a box and a vanishing point.
For the project we could only use vertical and horizontal lines. First I made the box in the middle of my paper was the back wall or the wall you started from. The the made the ceiling tiles. Then started ti make the window. Finally you put everything in the room. Drawling the objects was hard but the ceiling tiles was not that hard to drawl.

Kristen Bezhani has done a very good job with this project. What was successful in her project was that the window really looked like the window in the actual room. She got the point of 3D effect.

Danielle Little's Room.


In Art class we focus on drawling simple shapes, to create a bigger master piece. Our assignment was to draw the Art Studio, veiwng from one part of the room.
First  we had to locate the center of the paper. Once you find the cnt point you had to create a rectangle equally around the center point. After you make the rectangle, you have to create the ceiling tiles. Next, you draw all the windows and blinds. Later you draw in all the details of the room, using the shapes and methods we learned.
The easy part about this part was actually drawling. The hard part was understanding how to draw each shape as it needs to be.

Gabe Beresin, complete the assignment very well. His details of the room are on point.
Gabe's Drawling, is a prime example to the assignment. He showed details in each little part of the room. His ceiling, and windows is well designed.

Three dimensional drawing

​This is my drawing of the farthest wall on right of my art class. What we did for this project was we learned the measurements for a room, and how to draw them realistically on a piece of paper. we used rulers, and had to include everything in our drawings (three dimensionally) to make it look as realistically as possible.  I drew the table in the center back of the room, the ceiling as it'd be seen from a three dimensional view, and the window shades above the table!!

Tyanna Pleasant art room

We started this project with practicing drawing regular 3-dimensional boxes, and using the middle of the page as our point of perspective where everything will eventually meet up in the room. Then I looked at weather each of the objects that I drew in the room has a part that sticks out or that comes out of the wall because I have to make it look 3-dimensional. I drew the part that would be apart of the wall so basically the 2-dimensional stuff, then added the 3-dimensional things <the things that has to look like its jumping off the page.  I did this by Making lines meet up at the point of perspective, the center of the page. 
The easiest thing to earn was drawing the strait lines that goes towards the point of perspective and finding the point of perspective.
The hardest thing to learn was how to make the items look 3-dimensional and knowing where to place each item I have to draw.
An artist in my class that i think understood it well was Victoria Odom.
She completed most of her project and she made everything look realistic. It looks like the actual room and everything is popping out of her page.

One Point Perspective of the Art Room

IMG00268-20110404-0934
     I started this drawing  by measuring the back wall, then drawing the vanishing point.
After that I drew the side walls, floor, and ceiling. To draw the ceiling tiles I used the vanishing point then drew a line from the corner of the back wall box to the opposite corner of the paper. After that I started drawing the smaller details on the back wall and ceiling such as the lights, the fans, the wifi box, and the windows.

I'd like to mention Kristy who I think did an exceptional job on the project.

My awesome and amazing drawing ^,..,^

Well, in this project we had to draw a wall in our art studio with using the skills that the teacher explain to us. We used just simply a pencil, paper and the wall the we were going to draw. One thing that was easy for me to do was to get what i had in my head down onto the paper. But, one thing that was hard for me was getting the lines straight and matching it up with the others and getting it perfect. 

The art that i liked was Victory Odom's work

Art Room

This project is based off of the point of perspective. I started off by using lines drawn from a little point from the middle of the page used to make boxes. Then we moved on something harder which was drawing a room and items that go into a room. After completing the task of drawing a simple room, we moved on to drawing any wall of our art class room. The easiest thing to learn was that drawing straight lines could make a room look so realistic. The hardest thing to learn was on what angle to draw the lines on, when trying to make objects stand out more.

Jaccar Garcia
 Jaccar's drawing shows much effort and hard work put into it. She got the idea of perspective and her work is interesting to look at. The way she drew her windows look the same as they do in our art class room.

Perspective

For this project we started with just a few boxes and finished off with a mini version of the classroom walls. The boxes we made helped us in making the few changes the the walls that required making it final to look 3d. For example, when we the doors we had to take in from making the 3d room with vanishing point in able to make the end of the door seem like it comes out. As the same with the windows and the wall. In able to begin we had to find out where our vanishing point was, the vanishing point is the exact middle of the square. From there the vanishing point worked on its on. The easiest part to learn was making the objects come alive. As in actually making the doors and windows seem real. The hardest part to learn was to know when were the correct moments to use the vanishing point and when not to. 

Victoria Odom

Victoria Odom's drawing shows there is much effort put into it and also shows her understandings. She was able to do more than just the walls but also she was able to add in the tables and sofa that are in the room. Also Victoria Odom and I chose the same wall so we both were able to help each other out to enrich our drawings. You can see that Victoria Odom understood well how to use her vanishing point by the way the room is laid out.

Art assignment

We had to draw a walk in the room.
I basically had to use straightedge to and rulers to make the walls.
No it was challenging to make straight lines and everything perfect. It was more of a math project than a art project.

This is a smaller version of the drawing.

Best Drawing Ever....!!!

IMAG0196
How did you do this?
We first drew a dot in the middle of the paper. After that we put a rectangle for the wall from the point in the middle. Next from the point we made the roof tiles. After that we put it all the little details of the room.

The process
I first made a point after that small point i made in the middle i got everything done on the paper.

What was easy to learn?

Drawing the windows on the paper.

What was hard to learn?

Making the walls pop out looking 3d.

Sterling Perry
- I choose this person because  his perspective drawing looks so much like what he was drawing. And the way he mad it look like he did it so easy and didn't have to erase nothing.

Single Point Perspective Kirby

 
This is the beginning of my single point perspective drawing of the front of the art room. We started by drawing a cube from a single point perspective, then a small, simple room, all with a step by step instruction on what to do. After this she gave us a piece of paper and told us to draw an accurate single point perspective drawing of one of the art walls. I first drew a rectangle in the room, and then drew the tiles on the ceiling. I used these tiles as a guide as to where to put everything else. It was easy to learn how to make the ceiling tiles, but making a back section of the room was difficult.

I think that James Prell's drawing was very good, because his drawing looked a lot like the art room wall he was drawing. He put a lot of attention into detail, and it shows in his drawing.

Drawing Of The Wall In The Art Room .

​Explaining of the Project: 
We first started drawing boxes on a line to see the perspective and the vanishing point in order to get used of using the vanishing line.

The process: 
The process i used to complete this project was the vanishing point and the the Orthogonal.

The Easy thing to learn was when we needed to do the vanishing point, it was easy and quick to learn. But jus like if there is something easy to learn there is always something hard to learn and that was when we needed to get the edges and the corners right learning how to use the orthogonal line in order to make the edges of the doors and walls.

I think jaccar did a god job on the drawing because she had a lot of perspectives and details also she was on point with the vanishing line and everything looks lined up nice and even.

My Weekend

I had a very disappointing weekend but at the same time I had a great weekend. Friday night I went to the Roxy with my friend Kristina, her boyfriend Ryan, and his two friends Brian and I forget the other kids name. Now mind you I have a boyfriend and I am strongly against cheating. But on the other hand nothing was going right between Steve and I. I was on the dance floor with Brian and next thing you know we were making out as if I was single. What makes it worse is that it wasn't just that one time, it was all night and all Saturday night too. I didn't regret it and I didn't feel guilty I just was mad at myself for going against my morals. Yesterday I broke up with steve and that was it. I still have a date for prom and now I have made a promise to myself that I would never cheat again.

A night at Geno's Steaks

So yeah, i had promised Mr. Chase that I would be more on top of this, but when I just become so über busy with my work, it becomes hard for me to handle it all :( But I must say, that I have never felt so independent in my life, ever since I started here in May of '08 and still going strong for almost 3 years now.

Q3 Benchmark: Mujeres en Culturas Hispnicas

Luna Frank-Fischer
Español 5
Marzo 2011

    Voces: Una Entrevista Cada Semana
Siempre he pensado en los papeles de género en nuestro sociedad. Por eso, para mi sección personal esta semana, yo estoy muy emocionada presentar una entrevista con algunas mujeres de personalidades muy fuertes. Hablé con ellas sobre las papeles de género y las vidas de mujeres en nuestra sociedad. Aquí es la entrevista, pero primero un poco sobre cada mujer.

Alfonsina Storni era una poeta famosa de Argentina. Ella era escritora y también maestra. Cuando vivía, escribió sus opiniones fuertes y femeninas sin miedo. Ella tomó su vida cuando tenía apenas 46 años. Pepa es la protagonista de la película “Mujeres al borde de un Ataque de Nervios”. Es mujer fuerte, pero no sabía eso hasta cuando su situación era tan ridícula que ella necesitaba tomar control para sobrevivir. Rosario Ferré es otra escritora. Ella escribe literatura sobre su vida personal, pero también usa ficción con símbolos para discutir la sociedad, específicamente los papeles de género. Ella es de familia de la clase aristocrática en Puerto Rico. Una otra Rosario, Rosario Tijeras, es protagonista de una telenovela Colombiana (¡que tiene su nombre!). Ella tiene muchos conexiones con la mafia y los carteles de drogas. Por eso, hay mucha violencia en su vida. Durante toda la violencia, a ella importa mucho ser bonita y popular con los hombres.

Pienso que, si hubiera hablado a todos al mismo tiempo, ellas se enojarían mucho, ¡entonces es buena cosa que hablé con cada distintamente!

Yo: ¿Cuáles aspectos de la vida y los papeles de género parecen más injustos?
Alfonsina: Mujeres siempre necesitan ser puras, mientras los hombres pueden ser impuros. Es como ellos pueden comer todo en el banquete de la vida, y nosotras solo podemos quedarnos sentando, aun que tenemos hambre también. También, mujeres son como esclavas a los hombres. Los dos géneros no pueden comprender uno al otro, y los hombres tienen todo el control... entonces nuestras opiniones nunca tienen poder.
Pepa: En nuestra sociedad no importa si hombres son infieles. ¡Es normal! Y mientras las mujeres no pueden hacer nada divertido o interesante. Necesitamos siempre trabajar. Yo siempre estoy trabajando. ¡Trabajo tan duro, en serio! Pero lo que importan es si yo soy bonita, o si sale con algún hombre. A nadie importa que soy fuerte, que trabajo bastante, que tengo cosas interesantes para decir. Es ridículo. ¡Por eso estamos todas locas, nosotras mujeres! Y ¿Por qué siempre las mujeres necesitan quedar embarazadas? Por eso, nosotras siempre necesitamos cuidar a los niños, y los hombres no necesitan hacer nada. Los niños son su culpa también. ¡Más su culpa, en mi opinión!
Rosario Ferré: Es súper injusto. Es que, en la clase alta, a los hombres no importan que haya tantos problemas en el mundo. Y también... los hombres siempre tienen el poder. Y el problema peor es que los hombres y las mujeres se casan porque las mujeres son un símbolo de poder y dinero. No quieren casar por amor – no, quieren casar para que otros pueden pensar, “Él debe de ser tan rico, con su marida hermosa y elegante. Él debe de ser tan poderoso, si controla una mujer como ella.” No es el amor, es nada más que ambición.
Rosario Tijeras: Es que... yo no puedo salir con más que un hombre al mismo tiempo. Muy injusto. Y mi vida, en general, es muy difícil... siempre hay violencia. Todos quieren matarme. Es muy injusto. ¿Qué he hecho a ellos? Solo soy una pobre mujer, ¿sabes?

Yo: ¿Qué piensa usted de los hombres en su vida?
Alfonsina: Muchos quieren tener control. Es algo que todos tienen en común. Todos los hombres quieren que las mujeres se queden en jaulas. No quieren que tengamos ni una parte de su poder. Tampoco escuchan a nuestras palabras.
Pepa: Quieren besar a todas las mujeres, todo el tiempo. A ellos no les importan nuestras emociones.
Rosario Ferré: Pues... mi padre es hombre poderoso – es un político. Y los hombres en general, ellos siempre quieren tener poder. Usan las mujeres y no piensan en sus emociones. Hombres siempre piensan que mujeres no son personas, sino muñecas.
Rosario Tijeras: Me aman. Siempre. Y les gusta usar las pistolas.

Yo: ¿Cómo necesita ser una mujer para tener relaciones con hombres? ¿Y para tener amigas?
Alfonsina: No podemos ser orgullosas porque mujeres son como esclavas en los relaciones. Si estamos orgullosas – como yo – no podemos relacionarnos con hombres fácilmente. Y amigas... no estoy segura. Yo sé que estoy demasiada algo para tener muchas amigas.
Pepa: Ella no debe tener emociones fuertes. Necesitamos siempre controlar nuestros sentimientos porque los hombres no quieren escuchar. Si estamos infelices o estresadas, no podemos decir nada. Para tener amigas mujeres... pienso que una mujer necesita escuchar a las amigas. Yo estaba tan preocupada con mis propios problemas, por ejemplo, que no escuché a una amiga... y ella tenía un problema muy grande. También necesita ser responsable y poder cuidar a sus amigas cuando nos necesitan. ¡Pero depende, por supuesto, en la otra mujer!
Rosario Ferré: Los hombres no les importa como son las mujeres, entonces no importa! Las mujeres pueden ser como quieren – pero no pueden hacer lo que quieren. Y la sociedad mantiene tanto control sobre nosotras que no es posible tener amigas. Somos las muñecas de sus maridos.
Rosario Tijeras: Necesita ser sexy, es muy fácil. Y... ¿amigas? ¿Como mujeres? ¿Por qué?

Yo: Como una mujer, ¿cuáles problemas necesitas eludir?
Alfonsina: Yo soy persona muy fuerte. Soy orgullosa, soy inteligente. Y en nuestro sociedad, no es fácil ser mujer con estas características. No me di cuenta de todos los injustos de la sociedad, y era muy difícil – demasiado difícil – vivir con la verdad.
Pepa: Los hombres. ¡Son problemas! Siempre son tan infieles, como mi estúpido ex-novio. Y otro problema... siempre necesito cuidar a mis amigas. Pero supongo que eso no es porque soy una mujer. No sé porque. Puede ser que tengo amigas muy raras.
Rosario Ferré: ¿Yo? No sé. Es que... hay problemas, necesita ser. Mi vida es súper difícil porque soy una mujer. Pero... no puedo pensar en ningunos ejemplos.
Rosario Tijeras: Después de algunas tiro teos mi pelo parece muy despeinada. También es muy difícil correr en la ropa que siempre llevo. Y los hombres en mi vida siempre quieren acostarse conmigo. No sé que hacer. Es que... cuando quiero hacer cambios de mi situación, nadie me toma en serio. Dicen “¡Oh, Rosario, que atractiva eres!” Y, me entiendes, es muy importante ser bonita. Y yo sí soy. Por supuesto. Pues... estaría bien si me tomarían en serio también, ¿sabes?

Yo: Alfonsina, ¿porque se suicidó?
Alfonsina: Pues... había algunos razones. No voy a mentir, es la verdad que tenía relación mala con un hombre. Pero también tenía cáncer, y también no quería vivir nunca más en un sociedad tan injusto. Quería ser libre de todo esto.

Yo: Pepa, ¿qué estabas pensando cuando diste el gazpacho a toda le gente?
Pepa: ¡Yo no quería pensar más en los problemas de todos! Todos las personas en mi vida quieren decirme “no puedes” y “no importo” y yo he dicho “si” y “ok” para bastante tiempo... También simplemente no sabía que hacer. ¡Yo no quería comportarme bien nunca más!

Yo: Rosario Ferré, ¿qué es un símbolo muy importante en la cuenta “La muñeca menor”?
Rosario Ferré: Un símbolo muy importante... hay tantos. Por supuesto hay la muñeca. Pero me prefiere hablar de sus ojos, pienso que es más importante. El marido sacó los ojos y entonces... ella no puede hacer nada. Cuando él tenía suficiente poder y ella estaba suficiente ciega que él puede hacerlo, puede sacar los ojos, ya ella no tiene nada para esperar. Es el fin del pequeña libertad que tenía ella cuando, al menos, puede ver los injustos. En nuestro sociedad, los hombres asegurar que las mujeres no tienen nada de la esperanza. Eso es casarse.

Yo: Rosario Tijeras, ¿a quien le ama más, Emilio o Antonio?
Rosario Tijeras: Emilio. No... Antonio. Pero no... pues... Emilio. ¿Porque no puedo salir con los dos?

Después de la entrevista, pensé mucho en los papeles de género y en las vidas de las mujeres. Aun que cada mujer tenía perspectiva diferente, me di cuenta de que hay algunos temas en todas las respuestas. Las mujeres quieren ser fuertes, pero dicen que es muy difícil ser fuerte entre el papel  de la mujer. Parece que “fuerte” es parte del papel del hombre. Las mujeres no deben tener emociones fuertes ni voces altos. Y ellas no quieren conformar al papel de la mujer. Quieren ser fuertes más que quieren ser puras. Y estoy de acuerdo con ellas. Con mis artículos, quiero cambiar los opiniones de la gente. Escribo porque tengo opiniones fuertes, como Rosario Ferré y Alfonsina Storni. Entonces no soy “femenina” en la manera muy estereotípica. Pero si usamos la palabra “femenina” para describir Alfonsina Storni, Pepa, Rosario Ferré, y Rosario Tijeras, yo también puedo ser femenina. •

Inspired By Art History



These are some pictures taken with my camera (3.2 megapixels). These pictures are of buildings right outside of my school and the settings that they were taken create a lot of diversity. I edited these photos to my liking and then made an album. These pictures inspire me, because of the angles at which they were taken and the way light is reflected upon the different pictures. I can't really decide which one is my favorite, because they all give different tones within the pictures.

THenry 3rd Quarter

The drawings that I had to do for the third quarter were more difficult when I had to do them on  a larger scale.  I am used to drawing on paper that is 8x11 or smaller.  The drawings that I like best are the one of my hand and the still life.  I like the drawing of my hand because I felt more in control while I was drawing it, and it was on a scale that I was used to.  The still life drawing was also something that I was more familiar with. I've done still life's in other art classes, so I knew what to expect as far as perspective and scale.  The things that gave me the most trouble were working with charcoal and the 24x36 drawings.  Charcoal is much messier than pencil, and it is harder to erase.  Even when I did get some of it erased there were marks left on the paper.  The fact that it didn't erase as cleanly as pencil became frustrating.  I didn't mind doing a drawing a week, especially since I did something similar during the second quarter.


These are My Drawings:

Drawing of hand(8x11)
Self Portrait(8x11)
Self portrait(24x36)
Clear bottle(12x18)
Clear bottle(24x36)
Full figure drawing(24x36)

Gait Into A Stanger's World*

He walked with a slight limp in his right leg.

There had been a boy in his elementary school class who had dared him to jump over the school's fence and confront the crazed madman's whose property rested on the other side. Invigorated by the prospect of heroism and school-wide acclaim for encountering what most were almost certain was a wizard, he undertook the dare with a suspicious amount of eagerness that caused the classmate to doubt the severity of his choice. The aspiring hero then climbed up the fence with ease and sat at the top, preparing himself for the battle to come. Sure of his noble purpose, he jumped down from the fence realizing only a moment before touching the ground that the fence was much to high to be dismounted in this fashion. He should have climbed down. The next moment he reached the ground and felt the effects of this lack of foresight. He had broken his ankle. Now, some forty years later, the limp remains from that childhood accident. Now, some forty years later, he looks both ways twice before crossing a street. Now, some forty years later, he quietly tells disheartened children that being a knight is not for everyone. Selling insurance can be just as fun. Now, some forty years later, a girl is walking onto the train behind him wondering how he got that limp. Wondering if it had been the result of something heroic. Something bold. 



*The title is so wonderfully cheesy. Please take a moment to frown and lament at the humor.  

Benchmark Reflection!

      ​For my benchmark, I chose to compare New Zealand and Brazil. In order to fulfill the requirements of the project, I needed to research each of the five provided components of collapsibility for both countries, assign a score, and give my reasoning. I chose to research the five points for each country individually, focusing my investigation on one nation at any given time. I found this approach terribly helpful, particularly in the initial stagesl because it allowed me to acquaint myself with the country while also providing me the opportunity to throw in fun, relevant tidbits I happened upon while looking the nation.
     While completing my benchmark, one thing I found wonderfully helpful was the five point framework. It created a relatively open structure around which to build my project. It was just grand! However, I cannot highlight only the good things… there are things I would have liked to change about my project, namely its submission time. I once again turned in this benchmark late which I find has sullied the whole process for me. I wish, if given an opportunity to do this project again, I would have the good sense to finish it on time.
