Artist Statement: In this unit we focused in on linear perspective. To draw in linear perspective the first step is to draw a horizon line that is essentially your eye line in the scene. Next you put a vanishing point somewhere on that line that is basically what direction you are looking in. This point is where everything begins in perspective it is where all lines stem from. When drawing with linear perspective you should always draw with diagonal, vertical, or horizontal lines. In the 1 and 2 point perspective pictures I drew 3D forms with respect to the vanishing point and all that it implicates. In the interior perspective picture we took this even further and created a realistic scene out of the 3D forms and attempted to also make these fall in line with the vanishing point rules of linear perspective. In the final summative hallway project we needed to do a similar thing that we did in the Interior Perspective picture but it was less drawing forms and more focusing on the depth of perspective and how that affects the lines. The materials used in this unit were not very complex because it was mostly a technical unit that was making sure that you knew how to draw perspective. The materials used were graphite and ink because we needed graphite to draw the forms and the perspective themselves and we needed ink to go over those lines and make them bolder. The process that I went through to make these pieces of art were pretty simple. The only perspective resources used to help were the lesson and the videos that we watched in class. Overall, the only thing that was confusing at times was when it was necessary to draw lines that were not direct to the vanishing point because it wasn't a clear connection. In the end these projects were very interesting to make and I learned a lot!
