For this assignment, I drew a perspective drawing. i used one point perspective. This is one point perspective because there is one single vanishing point. My vanishing point is on the horizon line. i felt one point perspective was the best option for drawing attention to the distance of objects. My sidewalk lines all go to the vanishing point. This shows distance. The objects like the bicycles, trash cans, etc. all become smaller as they get closer to the vanishing point. I felt i did well on the overall perspective portion of this project. I struggled with shading and distinguishing different values. All of the lines drawn somehow lead to the vanishing point or are affected by it. I developed my art skills through this assignment when it came to distinguishing values and creating a wide variety of values.
Did you try something that you weren’t sure about as part of this project? Did you pick a material or technique that was new or different over something that was familiar?
At first I was taking a risk when it came to this assignment because I struggled with drawing and distinguishing different values.
How did you respond to challenges that occurred as you worked?
I was able to take the picture that I was drawing based off of and added a black and white filter which allowed me to see the values. I then drew what I saw.
Did you ask another student for feedback during your work process?
Throughout this assignment, I made a guideline of what i wanted to accomplish each day. Throughout the course of a day or two, I would consult with my peers and ask for their thoughts and opinions on my assigment. Their compliments and criticism were extremely helpful in the success of this piece.
