Pen & Ink Due Date

Art 1's, check the calendar for the pen & ink due date...it's next Thurs., btw.

Art 1 Perspective Requirements

Here's what you need to include, and a short blurb on what I'll be expecting when it comes time to grade.

Requirements:

• Decide on one or two point perspective - doesn't matter to me, choose whichever one you feel most comfortable with (though challenging yourself is always good, too);
• Create a "room" with a floor and at least one wall in one point, or give me a "box" with an interior showing in two point;
• Create a "checkerboard" pattern on one of your surfaces;
• Include at least five shapes - one must be a box and one must be a sphere - minimally;
• Include at least three "cutaways"/windows/doors;
• At least two of the objects must overlap
• Use both hatch and stipple pen & ink techniques

Proces:

• get your 9x12" paper from me
• create a light pencil drawing of the above
• erase any unnecessary lines so as to not confuse yourself while inking
• let me see it to make sure you won't run in to problems
• ink - using all three pen & ink techniques learned earlier in the year

Grading:
I want you to show of your fun and creative side. If you settle for the minimum, even with perfect technique, I'll likely not shower you with an awesome grade. Strive for more. For reals.

"extra" Getting Perspective

This won't be applicable, necessarily, until next week - if at all, but there will be kudos and admiration for those that can utilize this information.
It's good stuff, for sure.

Getting Perspective - 2

So, Thursday the 12th we'll be discussing two point perspective. It's very similar to Tuesday's lesson and you'll have another simple worksheet to complete.

I know you'll all be here on the blog lapping this stuff up so here, above, is kind of what the process looks like.

The second one, above, is longer, I know, but it begins to "explain" more options that I'd like you to begin to familiarize yourself with.

Getting Perspective

One Point Perspective, that is.

As we just did a one point perspective worksheet in class, you'll be somewhat familiar with this topic, but soon enough you'll need to be creating a drawing from scratch, so watching it done will be helpful.

Below is a pretty good instructional/educational step by step of this. Note that there are some issues with the final drawing, as is explained, but you'll get the gist. I hope.

I would encourage you to watch some other videos, too.
Such as this one, especially since it is, arguably, better and more informative.
Enjoy.
