In class on Thursday I liked how we discussed the different perspectives possible for the paper bag project, as in the different light sources possible and the placement of the subject on the paper. I liked the way this procedure was conducted in order to get the students involved in critiquing the projects. The room set up for critique was much better to get the students comfortable with speaking aloud in class rather than having the 'horses' in a circle. I felt that this made the students feel awkward standing so close together and this is why they did not freely express themselves before.
I feel that when you re-use vocab and other important words in class helps the students broaden their spectrum, such as 'reflected light'. On another topic, the way you push the students to do better in class is effective in that they try harder than if you didn't. Your ideas on what we should be looking at to critique helps us improve our own work when we critique others. I can't say I disliked anything in class because you wipped out some awesome sketchbooks for examples and art definition spectacularness (I know) that helped broaden our thoughts about what we can do.

On Thursday February 11, 2010, Drawing 1 students where spread out around the Fine Arts building working hard on their two point perspective assignment. This assignment entails that the students capture two different sides of one wall by using two points and accurately measuring out the dimensions of the walls, floor, ceiling, and everything in-between. Students can use tools to help them measure such as their thumb, ruler, or measuring stick. Although this assignment sounds easy enough, with putting down two random dots and drawing lines away from it to make walls…wrong. There was definitely a specific way this had to be done. Starting with measuring out the length and width of the wall and the corner in which it meets. The student must draw a line running from the top left corner to the top right corner of the wall, thus the slope of the difference in the two corners will at some point cause the lines to intersect, creating one of two perspective points! Taking measures such as those, helped create the two point perspective drawings each
student has finished and will be graded on.
