C Block : Perspective drawing REVIEW

Based on the assessments, I can see that we all could use a bit of review on our knowledge of perspective

What is due Monday Aug.  29th  


Group 1: ( assessment with orange tag)Boxes in perspective:  using the handout as an example,  create Do a Version not a copy of the exercise ( No TRACING)

Group 2:    Assessment with one point perspective or two point that is accurate.
A review of one point perspective concepts  with the challenge of drawing a cup ( your personal cup or waterbottle in accurate perspective) ~ thus giving your practice at drawing ellipses.

here is what I want you to do: STEP ONE: This should be on one page

Go to the link below and READ the text, next at the bottom of the text is a good explanation of how to draw an ellipse from a circle... Copy that image ( don't trace it, copy it free hand, you may use a ruler for this part)

STEP 2:  Step your cup or bottle on a table so you can see both the bottom and top edge of the cup or water bottle.  Do your drawing exactly as you would do a one point perspective drawing... in other words , set up your horizon line, vanishing point,  and draw your top ellipse first or bottom which ever is easier.  This might take a few trys.

What am I looking for:  an observed drawing, not from a photograph.
Fits on the page, isn't too small or too large ( check your proportions)
Shows that you read the article and that you followed instructions
and yes, I am looking for accuracy, so it will take a few trys.
