Watch both of these videos and you should be ready to begin your assignment. Again, remember not to let yourself make this more complex than it is. This is essentially a two point perspective which you have already learned, except the vertical lines will be replaced by angled lines originating at the third vanishing point. You will be required to tape a second piece of paper onto your finished work for the 3rd vp and if necessary, for your first and second which will be on your horizon line as you have done in Foundations.

Foundations- Perspective
Please carefully watch these videos on one point and two point perspective.
We will be working towards creating drawings of objects both above and below the horizon line in and one and two point perspective as well as a series of evenly spaced objects receding back into space.

Foundations 2- 3 point perspective
These are two different approaches. We will be using rulers to craft our pieces in class. You will all need a high resolution photo reference on your chrome books featuring at least 3 skyscrapers next to each other. Consider your perspective from either a worm's eye or bird's eye perspective.

Ceramics 2 Mesopotamia (Meza-PO-tania)
Mesopotamia, the "land between" the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, which would now be in the region of Syria, is the focus for the second project. Red clay was abundant in this area and students will use red clay to create three structures. In approximately 6000 BC, pottery known as Halaf pottery was known for it’s smooth surface and often used a very limited palette of both red and black pigments. (distinctive blues were used as this period of art evolved)
Students will, again, follow links provided on the blog and research this period in time and look at the traits of this work including not only the smooth surfaces but the the use of animals as a theme for both utilitarian work as well as aesthetic creations. References of three different animals will be gathered and students will create three different pieces. The wheel will be an option for students to utilize in the creation of these pieces. Artwork may be produced in any form from sculpture to a bowl or plate.
Alternate assignment will be to investigate and create a foot tall free-standing Lamassu, which were known to be mythical guardians in animal form with human heads. Students will investigate the treasures of Ur which will provide many examples of animal subjects, color pallets and designs.
Please read assigned links above and comment with initial thoughts for how you want to proceed with this project. (comment will not automatically appear so please send only once)
