Perspective Initials Graded

Students have completed their initials using 2 point perspective, and the grades have been posted. Here are a few photos  of some wonderful works!

Students should be very proud of their drawings! It is a challenging project that requires a lot of patience.

Moving on in class, we have begun to focus on the notion of critique. We have discussed visual and musical art. Tomorrow students will choose a song that is meaningful to them, and plan their clay sculpture around it. Keep checking the blog as pictures of progress will soon surface!

Finishing up Perspective

Today is the last day for students to work on their perspective initials in class. They will have the long weekend to finish up the project, and on Tuesday we will move onto our clay project. Take a look at some of the drawings as they get completed!

Perspective Progress

This week students finished up their initials in perspective, and began practicing value for their final copy. The initials are looking great, and will be even more impressive once value is added to them next week!  Here are a few images of the progress:

Students drew out their letters on top of their grids in perspective.

Next, they traced the letters onto a new sheet, clean and ready for value.

Before adding value to their intials, students practiced on this worksheet. They are making value scales that can be referenced later as a tool.

Students are doing a great job with this project- I am looking forward to the products we will see!

Quiz Corrections Assignment

• I wrote one, which was incorrect
• 1.  Two point perspective uses two vanishing point(s).
• 1.  Two point perspective uses two vanishing point(s).
• 1.  Two point perspective uses two vanishing point(s).

The quiz corrections must be written by hand, and turned in on Friday, February 7th.
