3. Draw 8 'Exploding Boxes':
a. Get a pencil and write your name on the bottom front of the page.
b. Draw a straight horizontal line through your page and put a small dot in the middle of the line.
This is your vanishing point on the horizon line.
c. Trace a post-it note 8 times at random heights:
1.
4 squares or rectangles above the line,
2.
4 squares or rectangles below the line.
d. Draw the converging lines LIGHTLY from each corner possible to the vanishing point.
e. Draw the back sides of the boxes and then erase the excess converging lines.
f. With a Sharpie, cover your pencil line boxes and draw an explosion to cover up the vanishing point.
g. For fun: before shading, write something in the boxes or add holes and extensions to shade.
h. Shade the boxes in cross-hatching with a Sharpie as if the explosion in the middle is the light source:
1.
Shade the front faces the darkest value,
2.
Shade the top sides a medium dark,
3.
Shade the bottom sides a medium light,
4.
and leave the sides white for the highlight.
Tuesday
1. Duesday: Shaded Grid Enlargement Portrait:
a. Display the portrait on a drawing board with two clips at the top.
b. Place your portrait around the room so everyone may see. We can do this outside at the cafeteria steps if
it is nice out!
c. Write your name at the top of a lined paper and place in front of your portrait.
d. You will visit each portrait and write two things: a compliment first, then a suggestion for improvement.
e. When finished the critique, please read the comments to see if there are any improvements you can
make on your artwork right now. You have a few minutes to make improvements before you hand in
your portrait. Be sure you signed the front of your work on the bottom in pencil or calligraphy ink.
2. Read and take notes on perspective techniques on pages 113-116. Use pages 116 and 112 for demo.
Use your pencil to measure heights in converging lines to see size diminution.

4. Finish Exploding Boxes
Wednesday-Early Release, Block 4 only
1. Watch Doctor Who episode: Vincent and the Doctor. Discuss what you learned about art and the artist.
Thursday
1. Perspective technique magazine search. Paste all six techniques onto a page or two in your sketchbook
and label each one. You can use these photos for your final perspective drawing.
2. Complete one-point perspective room worksheet with shading.
Friday
1. View the Perspective issue of Scholastic Art Magazine: March 2012:
What perspective techniques do you see in the artworks?
2. Read the perspective assignment on pages 14-15 of the magazine. You may take photos of buildings,
interior or exterior, or create your own fantasy environment, as long as your artwork shows at least five of
the six types of perspective.
3. View examples of one-point perspective interior drawing and generate ideas for your own based on the
following requirements.
Visually represent the six perspective techniques all of your magazine photos.
a.
overlapping objects
b.
objects which show size differences
c.
objects which show different locations
d.
objects which show detail differences
e.
occurrence of atmospheric perspective ( artistic vision credit)
f.
objects with converging lines showing deep space.
3. How do I do this?
a. Look at your magazine photos. Decide how to put the images into one artwork.
Write and sketch ideas: where is it? Who are the people? What is going on?
Sketch your composition and show to your teacher for approval to start on your final substrate.
b. On the final composition, draw your images LIGHTLY in colored pencil or art pencil.
No outlines=artistic vision excellence!
When you have all the contours drawn, you may fill in with shading techniques: hatching, crosshatching, stipple, and scumble.
c. You may put in shading and highlights for your artistic vision credit.
d. Think about your artistic vision: add LOTS of interesting details, draw people, animals.
Consider adding geometric or organic forms exploding in space!
4. View the Perspective Project Rubric and discuss. Take notes!
