On Thursday January 28 in Drawing 111 class, we worked on one-point perspective drawings. In high school I took two years of art class and I learned one-point perspective with a totally different strategy. Due
to that, grasping and wrapping my mind around a different approach to this drawing has been difficult for me to understand. I think I figured out the unit measurement aspect and hopefully I can turn in a successful assignment. Looking at classmate's drawings also helped me see the depth and technique in different points of view. I also need to work on taking risks and stepping out of my comfort zone. I like to do things to the best of my ability, but I also like to take my time. I do think this class with make me a better drawer also I hope to get better with the different mediums we will be using.

Today in drawing our class learned how to show volume and space using perspective. We focused on one point perspective and how to find the focus point. Our assignment was to sit anywhere on the first floor
of the Fine Arts building and draw a hallway. After everybody began drawing it was evident that all parallel lines shared the same vanishing point. Once we found the focus point we were able to understand where the eye level of the paper was as well. Using the rule of thumb and our measuring sticks we were able to get realistic measurements of the objects and how they should be placed on paper. It also helped with the proportions of objects such as pictures, lockers, or anything in the long hallways. The lesson on one point perspective
was a great way to learn about spatial relationships and to prepare us for two point perspective drawings.

On January 21, 2010 my drawing class was a lot of fun as I got to use my artistic abilities in two different areas; photography and drawing. At the beginning of the class, the teacher gave instructions on how to warm up to draw different body poses. The teacher asked for class volunteers to pose for the class, the first was a male and the second was a female. It was very interesting to capture the right poses in a picture, something that I had never experience with. The next picture was taken outside the classroom, in the hallway due to the variety of shapes it had; rectangle, circles and lines. As the class moved outside the classroom I took a picture of some of my classmates looking outside the window. The last picture I took was of a couple of my classmates drawing a painting that was on the wall, this picture reflects the different types of art we have. I enjoyed this class because it gave me the opportunity to admire others as they were using their artistic abilities and talents.
