Negative Space Reflection: Hersh

Posted by Zack Hersh in Art - Freshman - Hull on Tuesday, April 30, 2013 at 1:42 pm

1. Negative space is the empty space around an object. It helps make the object look like it is actually there and makes it look more accurate if used correctly.
2. I found negative space in the cutout by placing the cutout pieces against the paper they were cut from like a mirror image, creating negative space and depth.
3. It is helpful for an artist to see in negative space because it gives them a better view and understanding of an object and portray it more accurately and realistically.
4. Seeing in negative space enhances drawings because it makes the drawings look better, more accurate, and gives them depth.

a. What is one thing that your learned specifically that you did not know before.

In spite of nine years of school art classes and many extracurricular courses, I had never been taught the intricacies of one-point perspective drawing. THe entire concept is new to my work.

b. How did leaning this thing make your drawings better.

While one-point perspective may not be evident in my nude sketches or figure studies, such techniques may come in handy portraying realistic landscapes and spaces. As we have been studying in my figure classes, negative space and positive space are intrinsically linked, and portraying each of them is equally important for a finished art piece. Perspective drawing will help me create lifelike and almost tangible backgrounds and negative spaces.

c. If you did this assignment again, what would you do differently?

Given another chance I would certainly allot more time to the basic mapping of my drawing. While I understood the concept, I don’t believe that, or much artistic skill, are represented in the sketch.

d. What is your advice to someone who has never drawn a one point perspective drawing before?

Make sure to get other people’s opinions on wether or not your drawing makes sense. In all drawing it is common to get so wrapped up in the piece that you are unable to see it from an outside perspective. This can happen even more with formulaic drawing such as perspective.

e. What resource helped you the most and why?

I’d say that my t-square made this project possible. It’s nice to know that he’ll always be there for me, providing right angles and plane surfaces...

a. What is one thing that your learned specifically that you did not know before.

Before I could not draw in perspective, after drawing this I now have a better understanding of perspective

b. How did leaning this thing make your drawings better.

As I became better at it as the drawing progressed, which left me with a better final drawing

c. If you did this assignment again, what would you do differently?

I would make sure my measurements were better starting out which might have made my final drawing better

d. What is your advice to someone who has never drawn a one point perspective drawing before?

Make sure that after making the measurements for the ceiling it matches with the floor which is where is messed up.

e. What resource helped you the most and why?

The model on moodle helped me most because it showed me exactly how my finished product should look

a. One thing that I learned that I did not know was that everything is and can be viewed different depending on the view.

b. This helped me because it allowed me to determined how I would draw the shape.

c. I would have tried to draw the whole room and not just one wall. I would have had added more color & more detail.

d. Do not, I mean do not worry about eraser marks. There are going to be plenty of them for you trying to make things perfect.

e. The link that Mrs. Hull posted on how to do a basic one point perspective room because it gave me a idea of what the layout should be.

a. What is one thing that your learned specifically that you did not know before.

I learned how to draw with lots of detail, as well as how to carefully observe my environment.

b. How did leaning this thing make your drawings better.

I was able to create a mental presence of the room in my drawing. Without observing your
drawing might not convey anything.

c. If you did this assignment again, what would you do differently?

I would probably remember to upload it on time.

d. What is your advice to someone who has never drawn a one point perspective drawing before?

I would recommend doing your measurements carefully, check to see what is commensurate and what the proportions are.

e. What resource helped you the most and why?

I didn't use many of the sources, with enough trial and error you can create a pretty good representation of something.

What is one thing that your learned specifically that you did not know before?

I learned many things through this project and one thing that will stick with me is how you have to work hard and go through trial and error to get the best product of your work. This piece of art is not my best but I know what I could do to make that so and that involves a great deal of work and perseverance.

How did leaning this thing make your drawings better?

This has made my drawings better by showing me that if it looks wrong then it is wrong because that is what art is looking seeing and observing; three synonyms that have very different meanings to an artist.

If you did this assignment again, what would you do differently?

Honestly, I would do the whole thing over and start with the color and add the lines afterwards.

What is your advice to someone who has never drawn a one-point perspective drawing before?

Just keep trying and you will get it one day and you will be very happy when you do because many people have trouble with this.

What resource helped you the most and why?

The room helped me most I think I could walk in there blindfolded and know where everything goes because of this drawing.

Final Perspective Drawling-( Red 2013 Perspective)

Posted by Milahn Shurelds in Art - Freshman - Hull on Saturday, April 20, 2013 at 1:00 am

a. I learned how draw in a perspective I never have done before. Drawing in a different perspective helped me understand the fundamentals of drawing. I also learned how to draw with a steady hand, lightly.

b. If I hadn't practiced drawing a room I wouldn't have finished my drawling. It would have been more complicated than it already was. I probably would have given up.

c. If I did this assignment again I would finish the ceiling tiles. Also I would color more to add more detail to the room. Lastly, I would do a different wall to challenge myself.

d. You need to take the practice drawings to your advantage. Do every one so it won't be as complicated. These drawings will help you finish your final drawing and help you out in the long run.

e. My sketchbook helped me the most. It showed me how to make doors, windows, and ceilings. This was the best resources I had other than my classmates and the websites given on Moodle.

Learning how to draw a one point perspective helped me draw better because I learned to keep trying until the drawing was right. I also learned to ask for help. These things are crucial in learning how to draw for me because they helped me to get out of my comfort zone and discover new things.

If I were to do this assignment over again, I would draw the floor tiles first along with the ceiling tiles before adding the furniture. I would also add more color and make my pencil marks lighter, so that I won't have to erase so hard. And I would include the smallest details.

To anyone who has not drawn a one point perspective drawling before, I would advise them to keep trying if you come to a "learning wall", to ask a lot of questions, to think out of the box by including all the details.

The how-to slide show helped me the most because it went over step-by-step of what we had to do and when ever I needed help I could always go back to that source to get advise on how to draw something.
