2-Point Perspective Painting

Positively Main Street

Personal Comment: For this project I started by creating two points on the outer edges of the paper, then I drew them both to connect at the center near the bottom (where you see the corner of the sidewalk). By vicariously drawing back to each of these points I was able to create realistic looking buildings. The exact layout of the buildings I created out of my own mind. I made them all up except for the Dunkin' Donuts building on the left of the center building. After drawing the image I painted it using only temperate paint. I used only blue, whites, and black. All the shading and different tones were all done with the same color. If I were to do something different I would fix how the streets converge towards the middle, in order to make them appear more like the streets then just shading.

1-Point Perspective Drawing of My Room (Art 1-2)

Personal Comment: With this project I wanted to make something that expressed "me" in it. And what better way to do that, then to draw my own room. I have made a few various variations for the purpose of the drawing. For example the shelving unit on the right side of the picture is not actually empty, but I drew it to be that way, so that I could practice drawing the lines of the individual shelf's, which proved to be more difficult then just filling them with books and various objects. The small black formation on the end of the bed is may cat (Sparkle), I drew her in the picture as well because she is in my room just as much as any other piece of furniture. Overall, this is my room, this is my drawing, and on the bed that's my cat.
