Project #1 Perspective

Last night we discussed the first out-of-class project and did some preliminary studies. Please review the earlier post that I mentioned so that you can visit the perspective sites. The project will be a two-point perspective cityscape. I recommended that you look through magazines and web searches for cityscapes that might provide inspiration. Of course you'll be creating this city scape based on your knowledge and experience with linear perspective rather than drawing one from observation. Your city can be anything that you imagine it to be as long as your perspective is accurate. We will begin the process during class on Thursday after the 6:00 gallery talk by Valerie Fuchs, who will be opening an exhibition in our gallery. Do a Google search for "cityscapes drawings" to see some various examples of how artists have handled this subject. We'll go into all the intricacies of this project and what to avoid on Thursday.

Don't forget that the gallery talk begins at 6:00 in the gallery, just down the hall from our studio off of the Ogle lobby. Try to get there a few minutes before 6:00 so you'll be there when she starts.

See you tomorrow evening.
