Monday1. http://www.zoomquilt.org/ Discuss ways this looks 3D.2. Art Talk page 113: Discuss perspective techniques used.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2f/Giovanni_Paolo_Pannini_-_Interior_of_St_Peter's_in_Rome_-_WGA16972.jpg Read and take notes on perspective techniques on pages 113-116. Use pages 116 and 112 for demo.

3. Draw 12 'Exploding Boxes': a. Get a pencil and write your name on the bottom front of the page.b. Draw a straight horizontal line through your page and put a small dot in the middle of the line.

This is your vanishing point on the horizon line.c. Trace a post-it note 12 times at random heights:

1. 6 squares or rectangles above the line,2. 6 squares or rectangles below the line.

d. Draw the converging lines LIGHTLY from each corner possible to the vanishing point.e. Draw the back sides of the boxes and then erase the excess converging lines.f. With a Sharpie, cover your pencil line boxes and draw an explosion to cover up the vanishing point.g. Shade the boxes in cross-hatching with a Sharpie as if the explosion in the middle is the light source:

1. Shade the front faces the darkest value, 2. Shade the top sides a medium dark,3. Shade the bottom sides a medium light,4. and leave the sides white for the highlight.

Thursday1. Perspective technique magazine search. Paste all six techniques onto a page or two in your sketchbook

and label each one. You will use these photos for your final perspective drawing.2. View examples of one-point perspective interior drawing and generate ideas for your own based on the

following requirements. Visually represent the six perspective techniques all of your magazine photos.a. overlapping objectsb. objects which show size differencesc. objects which show different locationsd. objects which show detail differencese. occurrence of atmospheric perspective ( artistic vision credit)

f. objects with converging lines showing deep space.

3. How do I do this?a. Look at your magazine photos. Decide how to put all six images into one artwork.

Write and sketch ideas: where is it? Who are the people? What is going on?Sketch your composition and show to your teacher for approval to start on your final substrate.

b. On the final composition, draw your images LIGHTLY in colored pencil or art pencil. No outlines=artistic vision excellence!When you have all the contours drawn, you may fill in with shading techniques: hatching, cross-hatching, stipple, and scumble.

c. You may put in shading and highlights for your artistic vision credit. d. Think about your artistic vision: add LOTS of interesting details, draw people, animals.

Consider adding geometric or organic forms exploding in space!4. View the Perspective Project Rubric and discuss. Take notes!
