Art

2 drawings with colored pencils  based on student photograph of a landscape

Instructions:
Make one photograph of a landscape scene (a print of this should be included in the final
submission).   The photograph will serve as inspiration for two drawings.  One drawing will
employ the techniques for creating one-point linear perspective.  One drawing will employ
the techniques for creating atmospheric perspective.*   As you know sometimes techniques
for creating depth in atmospheric perspective appear in paintings emphasizing linear
perspective.  However, linear perspective must include one point on a horizon line and
invisible  orthogonals below and above the horizon line to show the objects ’ recession into
spac e.

Write one paragraph that lists and describes how you applied the techniques in your
artwork.

Project must include:
( 2  pts .)  S taple together the  typed paragraph, the pages of artwork,  and  the  printed
photograph
( 1  pts .)  Include name, date, course number
( 2  pt.)   T ype  a 12 point, double spaced, proofread  paragraph
( 10 pts. )  Demonstrate  technical proficiency using all techniques for creating linear
perspective

( 10 pts. )  Demonstrate  technical proficiency using all techniques for creating atmospheric
perspect ive

( 10 pts. )  Provide neat drawings and presentation

* Techniques for creating Atmospheric Perspective:
• darker values occupy foreground space, lighter values occupy background space,
• larger shapes occupy  foregrou nd, smaller shapes recede into space,
•  a  bluish haze blankets the backgr ound especially at th e horizon,
• overlapping shapes indicate recession into space.
