Project: 1 & 2 Point Perspective Study
__//Due Date: 1 Point Perspective Study - September 21, 2 Point Perspective Study - September 23//__

Your main objective is to demonstrate your understanding of one and two point [|perspective]. This is done by using your tools (sharp pencil, ruler), your knowledge (vanishing points, orthogonal and parallel lines) and your art skills (measuring, drawing straight lines and //seeing//). I would like to address //seeing// for a moment. Being able to see is very different from //seeing// like and artist. Click on [|Seeing Like an Artist] to learn more about this valuable skill. It is highly important that you take a moment to look at your rectangular prism and ask yourself “Does this look right?”

You will work in groups within class. A written problem will be given and your team will use their critical thinking skills to find a solution to the perspective-drawing problem. What you do not fully complete in class will need to be completed at home for the following class period. Click on one and two point perspective tool to see an example.

Project: 3 Point Perspective Study
__//Due Date: September 30, 2010//__

You will demonstrate you understanding of perspective and practice your perspective skills by drawing a city street corner in three-point perspective. This is a small assignment that will start in class and be completed outside of class. Click on the three-point perspective tool to see an example and the details that need to be included.

Project: Multiple Point Perspective Study
__//Due Date: October 4, 2010//__

You will demonstrate your understanding of using multiple vanishing points and practice your perspective skills by drawing multiple objects in perspective. Click on the multiple point perspective tool to see an example and the details that need to be included. A common misconception is that all forms need separate vanishing points. Forms that are parallel to each other use the same vanishing points. Click on parallel vs. nonparallel multiple-point perspective tool to see an illustration showing the difference.

Project: Perspective Final
__//Due Date: October 12, 2010//__

Finally you will demonstrate your total understanding of perspective and challenge your perspective skills when you draw a still life of your geometric form sculpture. A compositional challenge is place on top of this. You will have to ask yourself “what is the most advantageous viewpoint of my sculpture.”
