Perspective Drawing

Floating Fantasy City

Design Brief

To explore and develop a clear understanding of One and Two Point Perspective

Constraints:

  • A4 cartridge paper each sheet of paper must have:

10mm border

Name, Class, Year level, Date and Title

  • Technical Drawing exercises ( Letters and Numbers)
  • Colour Render Drawings/ Sketches
  • One Point Perspective floating boxes
  • Two Point Perspective floating boxes
  • One Point Perspective 3D Name
  • Two Point Perspective Floating City

Considerations:

  • Size Cartridge paper
  • Creativity/ imagination
  • Colour
  • Style
  • Research and development
  • Presentation

Project Requirements:

Each student will need to create a piece of work that demonstrates an understanding of each of the steps in the design process. The information may be presented in a poster, Power Point, written report or may be negotiated with your teacher.

All projects must contain evidence of

Investigation

Conceptual sketches

Construction steps

Picture of finished product

Evaluation

Time limitations:

  • Each task needs to be completed within the time frame given for each lesson. Any work not completed during class time is follow up learning.
  • Students must have their own Art equipment (most importantly HB pencils, erasers and sharpener)
  • Use of class time productively and wisely
  • Follow teacher instructions and Art classroom rules
  • No nude in classroom except plain water in bottles are allowed
