Week 13

Tuesday 11/19: One Point Perspective Project

  • Choose one exercise from below:
  1. Draw an imaginary abstraction of boxes demonstrating your understanding of One Point Perspective. Choose an interesting palate and shade them to accentuate volume.
  2. Take a walk around the art department and find a spot that has an excellent still life area to draw a One Point Perspective composition. Create a simple but demonstrative drawing. We are not looking for details, just the basic shapes that form the composition.











    TOOLS: Pencils, Erasers, Ruler, 11x14 Sketchbook




    Thursday 11/21: Two Point Perspective Project (Final Project)
    • Watch demo and then practice the technique.
    • Using block text that spells your name, demonstrate your understanding of Two Point Perspective. 
    • Shade the letters appropriately to accentuate depth and volume. You may use acrylic paint or colored pencils.
    • Develop a background image to support your text. The background must demonstrate some principle of 2D Design that you have learned in this course. 
    For Instance: 
    1. Your text could be painted white, using grey tones to shade the sides to emphasize Three Dimensionality of the letters, and your background could be a grid or pattern painted with primary colors.
    2. Your text could be painted with warm and cool tones too emphasize Three Dimensionality of the letters, and your background could be a traced image of a landscape painted in chromatic greys.
