Perspectives

• Micro vs. Macro

• Perspective

– Vision – wide seeing a lot of different things– Blinders – focused on one thing

– Pros and Cons of each

Perspective - the way we see things

Our Point of View, Based on Where We Are At

First Person Perspective

Perspective

Art Can Be All About Sharing Your Perspective With Others

Distorted Perspective

Reality?

Create Your BackgroundImages of Earth from Space

• http://wlppr.co/

• Pick an image that speaks to you• Paint it with watercolor or acrylic • Watercolor – watercolor paper• Acrylic – canvas or gesso on cardboard

Studio Time 4.23.2015

• Create your art(this will serve as your background)

• Try to finish during this class period• Go big! Fill the page!• Draw what you see(doesn’t have to be

realistic, can be though)

Next Step in the Project

• Draw your direction

• Talk with a partner about your journey everyday to and from school, what’s it like, do you walk, ride a bus, drive, does someone else drive you, how do you get from point A to B

• The person listening, write down what the other person is telling you, make sure you have enough detail so you can tell it back to them

Draw What You Said

• Now, the person who wrote down the story of point A to B, you will tell the person what they said

• The person who shared the story, you will be blindfolded, paper stuck in front of you and you will draw what the other person is saying(the story they wrote down, what you told them about Point A to B)

Switch

• Do the same thing again, make sure you switch roles

Now what?

• This drawing will get copied onto paper so you can make a tape transfer next class, the tape transfer will be one of the many things you can add to your art, the landscape that you painted

You

• Who are you, what lines define you and who you are

• Simplified form drawing• You will do a self portrait, but try to make as

few lines as you can

Warm Up

• Look at yourself, in a mirror• Don’t let your pencil leave the paper and try

to look at yourself more than the paper• If you think too much this won’t work• Focus on looking at yourself and drawing what

you see

Simplify the form

• Now, draw over the pencil with pen• Pick the lines that you think work the best to

show who you are• The drawing is suppose to be abstract

impressionistic(which means it can be distorted, however we need to be able to tell it’s you in some distinct way)

Finalize Your Drawing

• How do you relate your background of Earth to the drawing of how you get from point A to B and your self-portriat

• Thing about:– Balance, scale, proportions, depth of field,

directional lines
