This week in Art we have been working with perspective and did two really cool projects dealing with that element of art.
For the first Perspective Project, we had to go around campus with our group, and take pictures of ourselves and another object. We had to take the picture in such a way that the perspective of ourselves in relation to he object was off, therefore making an illusion.
This was very fun because we had to think about a picture from a very different angle than we normally would. Also, it was very cool to see our pictures fit together and actually look like they could be real.

For the top picture, we tried to make it look like he was about to step on a car and crush it with his foot. This one actually turned out to be our best one because we lined the angle of the camera's perspective up the best to create a believable illusion.
Then for the picture to the left, we tried to make it look like he was hanging from the electrical wire. In reality though, he was actually standing on the ground and the camera was very close to the ground pointing up. This way it made him look as if he was as tall as the wires and could just reach up and grab them.

The second perspective project we did was learning how to draw in one-point perspective. This made drawing 3-D objects so much easier and made me feel like a fool for not knowing this before. I had always struggled to draw and certainly struggled trying to draw three dimensions. But since learning about one-point perspective drawing, I can draw lots of basic 3-D shapes.
