Art Foundations: Presentation of Architecture AND Begin City Scape / Neighborhood Drawings 

Goals: Neighborhoods and City Scapes HERE

1. Evaluate the Effectiveness of Art
2. Create 2 point perspective and Value drawing that uses COMPOSITION to solve visual challenges.

7th Hour – Same Goals – Different Activity: You will take 10 minutes to complete the GROUP Evaluation of your work – hand that in to your GUEST TEACHER.

1. Evaluate the Effectiveness of Art
2. Create 2 point perspective and Value drawing that uses COMPOSITION to solve visual challenges.

• Take a look at the goals and write them down in your binder.
• After you are finished with that, break into your groups and take 8 minutes to finish up your group answers for the Frank Gehry inspired building you worked on.
• Staple all of your individual reflection sheets under the group answers and hand them into your guest teacher.
• As you are headed BACK TO YOUR DESKS, please grab a sheet of White Paper from the Kitchen Table AND a RULER or T-Square.
• At your desks – using pencil – measure in 6 inches from one side (at the top and the bottom) and draw a line. This is one edge of your picture plane.
• Do the same for the other side… this is the OTHER side of your picture plane.
• You can now do one of two things…
  • The picture plane can be the space between these two lines OR
  • CAREFULLY TRIM THE PAPER ON THESE LINES (using the paper cutter, scissors, or an x-Acto Knife and cutting mat) and then attach the “wings” to the side of the paper.
• BEFORE YOU DRAW A HORIZON LINE, think about the TYPE of VIEW you’d like to have in your NEighborhood OR City Scape. Click HERE – one student is the clicker-master – and look through the images of the NEIGHBORHOOD.
  • In Your Sketchbook write out your thoughts regarding the Neighborhood:
    • Placement of Buildings
    • Number of Buildings
    • Look of Streets, Sidewalks, and Yards
    • Height of houses, trees, other aspects of the architecture / things in the image
    • Does this remind you of YOUR neighborhood? Your houses?
    • What’s Different? What’s the same?

    • Does this remind you of YOUR neighborhood? Your houses?
    • What’s Different? What’s the same?

• Pair up and REVIEW THE RULES OF TWO POINT Perspective (if time allows). Go over EACH of the 6 Rules of Thumb
• Are you ready to draw your horizon Line? If so, go ahead and begin with ONE BUILDING… go to the vanishing points…
• Use your skills and your knowledge… this is a lot on you today and tomorrow – I have FAITH in YOU!

What were the BIGGEST CHALLENGES today? Write that on your GOALS page. Thanks – Video Tomorrow!
