In Drawing Studio, we have finished studying perspective! We had the choice of doing a one or a two point perspective drawing in class and then doing the other at home. I did my two-point drawing in class, so it shows off the wonderful building and hallway. This building is very... peculiar. My teacher warned us that we can't trust anything that we see, meaning some of the walls aren't perfectly vertical and the ceilings aren't exactly horizontal. Yes! They slant ever so slightly that you can't tell unless your staring at them for three hours with a ruler!!!!! My wonderful professor gave us of the choice of drawing the building as it is, with all of its imperfections, or draw it assuming everything is perfectly horizontal and vertical. So in the end, I made an ass out of myself and the walls and ceilings. Here is the proof of our humiliation:
Then for my second drawing, I hunted around for the ideal spot to draw: someplace that was quiet, had interesting architectural features, and a Starbucks... The Library!!!! No surprise there, right? This is by far my favorite of the two!
Who is Fillippo you wonder. How could I forget?! I dedicate these two perspective drawings to Fillippo, Fillippo Brunelleschi that is! Brunelleschi was an early Italian Renaissance architect who built the Dome of the Florence Cathedral. He is also credited with figuring out linear perspective!! Ah ha!!!!!!
