2 point preliminary detail

Currently students were asked to create a city using 2 point perspective.

Now they will be working on preliminary detail, windows doors and sidewalks. The windows will be done using a "SHARED" line. as will the sidewalks from building to building.

So far we have talked about Line quality and Economy of line, students usually have a fair amount of erasing to do unless the follow the economy of line direction. using the line that lines up with the appropriate vanishing point, then being able to draw a line to the length needed.

This is basically what they see when they walk in. The assignment is to complete a city in two point perspective.

Here is the LINK to the plan, Two point perspective is the illusion that objects get smaller as they get farther away from you. Read an you will see exactly what I grade the kids on and how the project is broken into 2 parts.

allowing each figur to overlap the . Each figure would then be painted useing only PRIMARY colors. Everywhere the figures would overlap the colors would MIX to create a secondary or possibly Teritary colors or even NEUTRAL colors.

Coming into this project the students should know all color mixing using only Primary color.


We are working on COLOR.

This is the  latest Board in my CLASS.


This project is designed to outlay the understanding of both Mixing color and Concentrating on NEATNESS or CRAFTSMANSHIP.

Latest Worksheet for Mandala project.

I like when students do their own research rather than having me regugitate from text or the internet. So I have them do their own research, it help reduce the amount of questions and help refine projects.

Latest Value project

#1- I asked students to print out the lyrics of a song that has meaning to them. I would like there to be some type of emotion behid there choice.

#2- Students are then asked to find a picture on line of some one that correlates to the lyrics they chose. could be the artist that wrote or sung the song or the person the song is about or someone they think of when they hear that song.

the Picture should be of the shoulders up, more of a portrait than anything else

here is an example



Thanks MO
