Linear Perspective

Artist Statement

The main idea that guided this artwork was to create a hallway that looked as realistic and proportional as possible. To do this I had to use the knowledge and what I was taught to make the hallway look more like a hallway and less than a drawing. This is a one-point perspective of "the new wing". Along with this one-point perspective the Interior perspective and the 1 point perspective are also only one -point perspective. The only 2 point perspective drawing on this page is the "2 point perspective" box drawing. This drawing has two points that help the boxes be more 3-dimensional.

This work was made with graphite pencils, a rule, a fine point sharpie pen, blick colored pencils, prismacolor markers, all on 11"x14" printmaking paper. First, I took a photo with my iPhone of the hallway I wanted to recreate. After I took the picture and printed it, I figured out where the vanishing point was. In order to find the vanishing point, I used a ruler to find where all the lines would connect. This happened to be on the tap left of the lockers. The vanishing point helps to make the art look more realistic. After the vanishing point, I started to draw my lines with a 2H pencil and a ruler, to ensure all my lines would be straight. After drawing all my lines I went over them with a fine point sharper to ensure clean crisp lines. As soon as my drawing looked as if it just needed color, I knew all my lines were in. Next, I added my color, to add color I used two different materials, markers, and colored pencils. I did this because I thought It would add a cool touch to my artwork but in the end, it only make it look off.

This art didn't cause me many problems. The only problem I had was in my materials. I thought using colorer pencils and markers would add a cool touch and make my work look different. In the end this only made my artwork look like I didn't try. Using markers is easy you just draw but, thats not the same case with colored pencils. Colored pencils leave almost a pattern behind, this is what made my work look bad. The markers which left no white behind and were solid colors mixed with colored pencils that leave behind a weird texture makes my work not right and like something is off.
