Linear Perspective

The subject of my creations are linear perspective, and the growth of my skills. I made these three drawings out of, hb, 2h, in the first two drawings and hb, 6b, fine tip marker, and color pencils in the third drawing. I didn't really choose to draw the first two drawings, and the setup of the third drawing, but I did chose the color, and my personal touches on the third map. I chose these personal touches because it added pazazz and color, compared to boring black and white. You make any perspective drawing by drawing a horizon line, and a vanishing point. In order to make it 3D you draw, using a ruler, some of the lines facing the vanishing point. There are only usually three types of lines in a perspective drawing, horizontal, vertical, and lines drawn to the vanishing point. Elements and principals i are, balance, by attempting to have the most symmetry as possible, pattern, as I tried to combine the rainbow with the colored lines in the drawing, shape, I used this by tricking the eye to see a long boxy hallway when it's all on a piece of paper, and color, i used color adding lines on the walls in the colors of the rainbow order. Elements and principles I used in each of these drawings are, lin, I used line by either drawing I thin light line to draw a shape, or a dark black line to catch the eye. And I also used, balance in each of these, because I lerything to be even and so I incorporate that in my drawings.

Composition rules and techniques I used are, grouping in the first drawing, high horizontal line, in the second drawing, and formal balance in the third drawing. I used grouping in the first drawing, by grouping cubes in the upper and lower halves of the drawing. I used a high horizontal line by placing my vanishing point above the middle of the page, resulting in a high horizontal line. I used formal balance in the third drawing by using symmetry in the drawing, with colors, and the shape of hands. My projects evolved over time in a good way. The improved, and you can see my success over time as you scroll through the three drawings. I used darker lines, more creativity, and more balance over time.

There isn't a meaning in the first drawing, in the second drawing there isn't really a meaning, but in the third drawing, there is. As you can see in the drawing, I messed up a lot, so I tried to fix it by drawing hands and making it pop out, but then I failed when I first tried as you can see on the left, but I guess it kinda looks cool. Anyway, as you look at the third drawing, the hand on the left seems to be melting into the walls of the school, and the one in the right, seems to be reaching out of the school. The meaning behind this is, that school is hard, and you're sucked into it no matter what, because if you aren't then you most likely don't have a great future ahead of you. Most of the time while you're sitting in your class you want to leave, but you can't. You have to stay, and suck it up because you're future depends on it. You depend on school, and getting good grades, making new friends, and having fun. Because later on, your future self will thank you. All of the stress, drama, and hard work may seem like a drag right now, but it'll be totally worth it when you get older. This relates to my life because, even though school is sometimes not fun at all, I work really hard to get good grades and make the best of it, because I know that I'll be thanking myself when I'm older. Something specific that bothers me is, the messed up lines I made when I tried to draw a straight line with the ruler, but then the ruler moved or was in a funky position and I ruined the line. I also don't like that sometimes I accidentally drew over other lines overlapping them when I wasn't supposed to. If I had more time, or had somebody hold the ruler for me I would've been more cautious about this, would've taken more time to draw these lines better.
