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.
