The project that we had to do was about negative and positive space drawings. Negative space drawings are drawings where you draw the shape of the space before you draw the actual object. To find the negative space of the cutout I simply got the construction paper and that was my negative space. Then once I had my object I put it over another piece of construction paper (that was a different color) and cut it out; this was my positive space. For the stools I tried my best to focus on the shapes of the space that were not the object. So I shaded in my negative space for them. Negative space helps because it helps the artist to draw the picture easier. Also for the person viewing the picture it enhances the picture more. It's more contrast in negative space then in regular drawings, so it enhances it for the human eye.

Ms. Hull

 In the beginning of third quarter when we started art, with Ms. Hull she prepared us to do this project since the first day. We started to draw our shoe. Now some people may say that doesn’t help us with your perspective project but it prepared us with visual drawings, looking at something and drawing it, and drawing straight lines. Then we practiced drawing boxes, which was helpful with shapes. It got harder when we had to do draw the boxes above and below the horizon line. But that is what we had to do in our final drawing; everything is depending on the horizon line and the vanishing point. That was the first time we were introduced to perspective, and it definitely prepared me for the final drawing.  Every drawing in our sketchbook was preparing us and setting us up for this perspective drawing.

 The process basically was being ready in class everyday. Everyday I had another part of the perspective drawing to do, and I set my goal. What helped me a lot was the activities/ drawings we did to prepare our self up to the start of this perspective artwork.  The main process was just getting things done, and drawing.

 In my opinion there was nothing easy to learn and nothing hard to learn. Everything was set up as a challenge for me, and I just needed to reach my goal in that challenge. It doesn’t mean my goal was to finish it, make the drawing perfect and get everything I draw perfect. I didn’t know what I could and couldn’t do ,so I just tried. The only way you try was by coming to class prepared and to work . I could see what I did better hen others, but it doesn’t mean one thing was easy and one thing was hard. The point of a “challenge” is it to be challenging. Yes there could be strong points but this is artwork and what some of that drawing might be better then others, doesn’t mean that part was easier. So all in all, the whole project was a challenge not easy or hard.

 Person I picked:

 I picked, Henry Poeng’s drawing. I picked his because I saw how he worked well in class and really tried hard on his drawing. I also picked it because I thought he did a very “killer” job on his artwork. His was one of the many in our stream that was exemplary. 

​To start of this project we first learned about how to draw objects in perspective by drawing cubes. While doing this we learned about birds eye view which meant that if the cube was below the vanishing point then we would be able to see the top of the cube and the worm eye view if the cube was above the vanishing point then all we would be able to see is the bottom.  Then from there we learned how to draw a room in perspective.  After that we started the final process and stated drawing the picture's of the art room.  First I drew the walls then i started to add more details to the walls I may have tried to do too many details though because i didn't get to finish.  It was easy to learn how to do the perspective because I had already learned it.  The hardest part to learn was the making things come out of the wall too.

Artist who did this project well, Nicholas Doroba.
It was well done because he added just enough detail to make it look like real, but not to much as to make him not get enough done.

Artist statement:

Before we started this project we learned all about the different parts of a drawing. there is a birds eye view and there is worms eye view. Both are divided by a horizontal line with the vanishing point in the middle. After that we drew our shoe and then tried too draw a room. After we were done the room we moved on to drawing Ms. Hulls room. This project had many steps to it. We started by picking a wall. Then we had to count how many sealing tiles there are on your wall. We found our vanishing point and we used our vanishing point to make all of the sealing tiles. I think that the easiest part of this project was picking a wall to draw because there was no drawing involved in that part. I think that the hardest part of the project was making the sealing because in order to perfect the sealing you need to make all of your lines straight and I am not good at making straight lines. 

Another drawing you should check out is Maria Latorre

I think that she was very successful in making her windows. I can obviously see the effort she put into making the whole drawing look good to the eye. 

This project started off with us just making boxes. Those boxes were the fundamentals for making more complicated shapes. Then we started working on making what we see in front of our faces and not what we want it to look like. That is when we drew our shoe. When you put this together we started making the wall of a building in our class room. When I started to make this I just pretended every thing was either a box or a free hand shape like the shoe. That is what made the project easy for me. The hardest part was my patience because I felt that I was done and didn't want to add small details.

I think another artist that did well on this assignment was Sarena Shuman. She showed a lot of detail and had the fundamentals right. It was a good piece of art work. What was successful in Sarena's drawing was keeping everything aligned.

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.

Tamatha Lancaster did am over-all well rounded job. Her work came to life once I laid my eyes on it. It was almost like I was really there. The way she drew her shades is also realistic, because people would draw straight lines, but she drew them as they were, crooked. I admire how Tamatha brought her work to life and hope that one day I will be able to put as much effort into my work as she did.
