Homework Due September 7

Interior: One-Point Perspective
Choose an interior space from which to draw. Make sure that you are comfortable in this space because you will be using it for the next two homework assignments as well.

Working from observation, but using the interior mostly as a guide, draw the interior in one-point perspective. Remember with each object you draw to begin with a flat, geometric shape with no foreshortening and THEN recede your orthogonals (please forgive my mispronunciation of that word in class) to the vanishing point. For this assignment, I don't need to see your orthogonals receding all the way to the vanishing point like we did in class. You can erase any lines that do not define the object you are drawing.

Here's a good online tutorial to practice drawing interiors in one-point perspective: http://www.olejarz.com/arted/perspective/start.html (Just ignore the suggestion to not use soft pencils. That's what we're using here, folks!)

LINE ONLY

Materials: Drawing pencils (2B, 4B, 6B), yardstick, bond paper (18"x24")

Blog: Search the Internet for artists' images demonstrating 1-, 2-, and 3-point perspective. Post good examples to your blog and label them.

If you don't know how to download an image, here are some steps: (I'm assuming everyone is a Mac user) Place the pointer on the image you want to download and right-click (or press "control" on the keyboard and click if the right-click doesn't work). Scroll down to "Save Image to Downloads" and click. The image is now in your "downloads" folder.

Click HERE for directions on how to upload images to your blog. When you click on the "browse" button to locate your images, remember that they are in the "downloads" folder.

E-mail me or submit a comment to this post if you have any difficulties.
