Day 1 - Gr 6

Day 1

Sixth Grade

Draw your initials in capital letters in 3-D.

To do this you need to use one-point perspective.  One point perspective is a system of representing 3-D objects and space on a flat pieces of paper, using a vanishing point and a horizon line.

Although this definition sounds complicated, the concept is relatively simple. One point perspective is a drawing method that shows how things appear to get smaller as they get further away, converging towards a single ‘vanishing point’ on the horizon line. It is a way of drawing objects upon a flat piece of paper (or other drawing surface) so that they look three-dimensional and realistic.
See example below.

Spend at least 30 minutes on this drawing.



If you decide to do your Art Blizzard Bag on your computer, just follow the steps listed at the beginning of the Blizzard Bag Blog. Be sure to scroll down the page.

Remember to rename your drawing. Use your own name and grade! Share with me on google drive, to mlemay@govwentworth.k12.nh.us

(The share button is at the top right of the screen.)

You may want to practice using the line tool first as it can be tricky. Try to remember what we did in steam class to create pictures.

MAKE SURE ALL WORK HAS NAME, DATE, AND CLASS CLEARLY PRINTED ON THE BACK!
