 One Point Perspective Shapes Design

Objective: Students will learn how to draw one point perspective

shapes and create a design with perspective shapes.

One Point Perspective…a mathematical system for representing

three-dimensional objects and space on a two-dimensional

surface by means of intersecting lines that are drawn vertically

and horizontally and that radiate from one point on a horizon line…

Example...‘Bedroom in arles’ by Vincent van Gogh – identifying perspective lines

Example...‘Bedroom in arles’ by Vincent van Gogh

Please watch a one point perspective demonstration…

Mrs. Miller's Demonstration for One Point Perspective Shapes

The demonstration drawing, finished…

Steps:

l. Draw a dot around the center of your paper.

2. Draw eight - ten shapes on the paper. Vary the sizes of

your shapes. Spread the shapes out, around the center dot.

3. With a ruler, draw lines from the corners of each shape to the dot.

4. Outline the final drawing with a sharpie or colored marker.

5. Color the shape a dark shade of color.

6. Color inside the drawn lines with a lighter shade of the same color. 

Add shading–darker toward the dot and lighter as you move closer to the shape.

Op Art Warm Color / Cool Color Design

 Op Art Cool Color/Warm Color Design 

Materials: white paper, pencil, ruler, markers, colored pencils

Instructions: Mrs. Miller's Demonstration Design Demonstration

1) Using a ruler, locate the center of the page (corner to corner) - draw a dot with a pencil. 

2) Still using the pencil, draw 6-8 straight lines through the center. When finished, you should have an EVEN NUMBER of sections. (12, 14,16)

3) Still using the pencil, draw "happy face" curved lines in alternate sections. 

4) Using the pencil again, draw "sad face" curved lines in the leftover sections. 

5) Please Watch...Warm Colors / Cool Colors

Choose one warm color and one cool color. 

Warm Colors - Red, Orange, Yellow 

Cool Colors - Blue, Green, Violet 

6) Color in every other section with a warm colored marker, alternating every other one. (Example below, yellow marker in every other sad face section) 

Next, pick one cool color. Alternate sections by warm and cool. Please refer to the picture below. Purple for happy faces and red for sad faces. 

7) After every other section is filled in with marker, shade the leftover sections with the same color, colored pencil. Try to leave a highlight in the middle of each section. 

8) Outline with a Sharpie.

 Drawing and Shading 

How to draw and shade 3D shapes

Objective: Students will learn how to draw 5,

3 dimensional shapes and shading each one.

Students will create a drawing of a

Sphere, Cube, Pyramid, Cone and Cylinder. 

Student Goal - Watch the video and view all

examples, practice drawing and shading each shape,

create a final shaded still life drawing of at least 4 shapes,

shade them according to a light source and create

shadows.

Please watch my demonstration on how to draw 3D shapes.

Mrs. Miller Demonstrates Drawing 3D Shapes

Please practice drawing the 5 3D shapes.

Please view this youtube video on how to shade....

https://youtu.be/DCyJ1LMTzxk

Please refer to the beginning of the video and practice

shading from dark to light with your pencil. More pressure

with the pencil, will create a darker shade. With less pressure,

the shade will be lighter.

After practicing shading, please practice shading your

shapes from day 1. 

Refer to the following pictures from Google Images...

Student Example...

Create a still life drawing of at least 4, 3D shapes.

Be creative. Shapes may overlap. Look for

reference pictures.

Choose a direction that the light source is coming

from and shade the shapes accordingly.

Please refer back to the videos from the first two days

of the lesson.

Examples...

Student Examples...

Evaluation Questions:

25 Points - 5 points each

Did you draw at least 4, 3D shapes? 

Did you choose a light source direction to

shade from?

 

Did you shade each shape, creating different

values with your pencil? 

Did you create a shadow for each shape,

according to your light source?

Did you use good time management to complete

the project and turn it in on time?
