1-POINT PERSPECTIVE BOX CONSTRUCTIONS
INTERMEDIATE 2-D ART
graphite on bristol
For the second year students we do an in-depth unit on both 1 & 2-Point Perspective.
We start with the basics then move on to more complex constructions like this.
The requirements were to draw at least 3 boxes in 1-pt.
with two of them touching each then in some way.
Then to shade the piece in using only one light source.
Of course craftsmanship & effort too.
It was totally up to the kids to add whimsy,
a story line, surrealism, etc.
They did all of the above!
We start with senior Jazzerie Lo.
She did a heck of a job drawing that skeleton.
I remember how tough that was to do in my life drawing class in college.
And check out her great cast shadow on the wall.
Next is senior Ayesha Durrani with this adorable take on young love.
And check out this thought provoking piece by senior Malaya Sithichai
about wearing masks to hide your true emotions or self.
And lastly we end with senior Eileen Lee with these unstable houses.
Dang these kids are deep thinkers!
Jazzerie's assemblage is beautifully wrought, but haunting.
ReplyDeleteAyesha's clean, geometric lines and fluid script are impressive.
Malaya's masks break my heart all over again.
But it is Eileen's houses that rocked me back on my heels ... how many boxes can be found in the bricks falling from these once-perfect homes? For me, it is a poignant allegory about the terrors of our times.
I can't wait to share your words with this group of kids Liz, they will so appreciate your feedback as I do. Thank you!
