Day 18 Bell stART ELEMENTS of DESIGN

Write in your sketch book:

Craftsmanship--one who creates or performs with skill or dexterity especially in the manual arts; plus, whose work is consistently of high quality

Today’s Goals 1. Share your homework drawing that focused on the negative/ground of the still life you set- up.

***For the critique, consider: the placement of the figures in the picture plane, the choice of medium and craftsmanship

2. Complete your india ink composition3. Use pens to add detail to the positive/figure areas4. At the end of class hand-in the finished work with your

name and period number on the back for a grade

Day 19 Bell stART ELEMENTS of DESIGN

Write in your sketch book: scientific perspective: a method of representing three-

dimensional objects on a two-dimensional picture plane. In scientific perspective all parallel edges and lines converge as orthogonals toward a vanishing point.

Terms you should know: Horizon line/eye level Vanishing Point Othogonal

During the Renaissance, artists became very interested in making two-dimensional artworks look three-dimensional. They used mathematics and close observation to invent “linear perspective”

Filippo Brunelleschi (1377 – April 15, 1446)

• was one of the foremost architects and engineers of the Italian Renaissance.

• most famous for inventing linear perspective and designing the dome of the Florence Cathedral

• his accomplishments included bronze artwork, architecture (churches and chapels, fortifications, a hospital, etc), mathematics, engineering (hydraulic machinery, clockwork mechanisms, theatrical machinery, etc) and even ship design.
