11/24/10 Intro to Art


Today's Class- Today we looked at the history of architecture, from prehistoric structures, through the Classical period, and into the 20th century. Then we did a portfolio exercise involving two point perspective drawing of the classroom architecture, as in the student drawing above.

How to make this up- The assignment requires knowledge of two point perspective drawing. A diagram showing the relationships of room architecture and furniture to the eye level and vanishing points, and the specific requirements of the assignment, can be found here. Unless you are familiar with the process, you may want to wait until the next time you come to class and I'll go over it with you.

Homework- The symbolic autobiographical comic strip project is due December 1, 2010.

If you haven't yet made your museum visit, I recommend doing it soon. To receive credit, you must turn in the paper by the last day of class.

For next class 12/1/10- We will critique the comic strips, look at the history of sculpture, and discuss the 3D project, our final art project of the semester. Bring paper (your 18"x 24" pad or a smaller sketchbook if you prefer) and pencil, along with the comic strip project.
