Today's Class- We reviewed of the history of architecture, starting with prehistoric Stonehenge, through the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Medieval, Gothic, Neoclassical, and ending with Contemporary, as we discussed materials and goals of builders. For the art project we did a two-point perspective drawing of a corner of the classroom.Today's Assignment- I demonstrated the procedure on the blackboard for drawing in one and two point perspective, then led the class through a 2 point perspective drawing. The class drew one of the classroom's corner's using 2 point perspective. Shown above is a sample diagram of a 2 point persepective drawing of a room interior. (Click on it to enlarge) You may make up this assignment by doing such a drawing of a corner in your own home, but I recommend that you wait until next week after I review the procedure with you. However, when you are ready to do it, choose a corner of a room. The corner should have a doorway, a piece of furniture (bookcase, dresser, end table, etc) and at least one item on the opposite wall (framed artwork, poster, window, etc).
