Drawing 1 - Drawing Transparent Objects
Mr. Briscoe's Drawing 1 Class has been drawing transparent objects.
Thursday, November 5, 2009
Mr. Briscoe's Class: 11/2 - 11/6
Foundations of Drawing
Monday through Wednesday we continued working on our One Point Perspective Project. Wednesday was our last full work day. The complete project is due Wednesday, Nov. 13th. If you are unaware of the project guidelines please look at last weeks post.
Thursday we introduced Two Point Perspective. Two Point Perspective utilizes two vanishing points to create a different type of three diminsionality. Two Point Perspective requires that two separate sets of lines converge at one point to give the illusion of shapes receding in two directions. See example below:
We also did a practice worksheet that is worth 20 points. Here is a great online tutorial to show you how to use Two-Point Perspective properly.
Friday we continued working on the Two Point Perspective worksheet and introduced Three-Pt.Perspective (third vanishing point) to the mix. When students finished they had time to continue working on their One Pt. Perspective Project (due Wed. 13th

Mr. Briscoe - 10/26-10/30
Foundations of Drawing
Monday - Was the last work day on our Circles and Ellipses Project. The final due date is Monday the 2nd.
Tuesday we introduced a new concept this week - one point perspective. One point perspective is a perspective in which all parallel lines converge at wo points on the horizon. We discussed this in class and did a worksheet to practice. This worksheet is worth 10 pts.
Wednesday the class continued discussing one point perspective and its roll in architecture. We took several images and traced how lines in architecture meet at one single point of convergence called the vanishing point. This worksheet was worth 10 pts.
Thursday and Friday we started a new project called Explosive Shapes. Students used their new knowledge of One Point Perspective to do a drawing of 30 shapes exploding from one vanishing point.
PROJECT GUIDELINES:
1) 30 shapes in one point perspective (15 squares/rectangles, 15 shapes of your choice).
2) MUST HAVE: vanishing point and horizon line. Shapes must be above and below horizon line.
3) Establish light source and shade accordingly
4) BE CREATIVE: overlapping, crashing shapes, background design etc.
RUBRIC:
Student understands and can apply One Pt. Perspective – 15 pts
Student used value properly – 10 pts
Student used high degree of detail and creativity – 10 pts
Effort – Good use of class time – 15 pts.
Craftsmanship – Neat, Clean, Complete – 15 pts

Foundations Drawing - Mr. Briscoe 10/12-10/16
Monday we took some time to review for the test. We spent the first fifteen minutes discussing what to expect and did a brief recap of the definitions. We did a short in class project where we drew definitions from a hat. We demonstrated each concept by drawing it. For instance, if you drew the word "value" from the hat, you would have to draw the word value and demonstrate how light effects the relative lightness and darkness of an area. This was worth 10 daily work points.
Tuesday we took the Midterm.
Wednesday we started a new project focusing on craftsmanship and value. On a large sheet of paper student drew a value scale. The value scale is intended to guide the rest of the project and needed to be drawn with great accuracy.
Here is the outline for the project:
Draw a value scale numbered 1-8.
- It must be 1"x8"
- It must be .5" from the bottom ride corner (the right side and the bottom).
- It must be numbered one through
- Each number must represent a different tone on the value scale, starting with white (#1) and ending with black (#8).
The second part of the project requires you to draw 15-20 circles and ellipses. Each shape should overlap at leas two other shapes. Each shape should be shaded to represent one of the value scale swatches at the bottom of your page. Look back and forth to make sure they match one another closely. When you are finished each #1 on the scale should be represented a minimum of three times.
Circles and Ellipses (Value) Project Rubric:
1. Student demonstrates and understanding of the value scale. 15 pts.
2. Effort - Good use of class time. 15 pts
3. Craftsmanship - Neat, Clean, Complete. 30 pts
As you can see the focus on this project is accuracy and craftsmanship. Take your time but pace yourself. Each shape must match precisely its coordinating number on the scale.

Foundations Drawing - Mr. Briscoe 10/5-10/9
Monday and Tuesday of this week we continued the Value Drawings of the sculptures that we built in our group (see last weeks post). These drawings focused on quick drawings with detailed shading. Spot lights were used to accentuate the shadows cast by the shapes. These drawings were due at the end of class on Tuesday.
The Rubric is as follows:
1. Student used basic knowledge of line, overlapping, background, foreground and value. - 15 pts.
2. Student used high degree of detail. - 15 pts.
3. Effort - Student took time to develop idea and complete the project. - 20 pts.
4. Craftsmanship - Neat, clean and complete. - 20 pts.
Wednesday we busted out the charcoal and man it was messy. We continued drawing under the spotlight but this time we drew large pieces of oddly shaped styrofoam. These were a big departure from the detailed paper sculptures. It allowed us to focus more closely on the value itself an important part of the drawing. These drawings were due at the end of class. 10 pts daily work grade.
Thursday we went back to using our trusty pencil. In our groups we continued drawing still lifes. This time a grouping of small styrofoam cups. These were timed drawings. We rotated around our tables to get different value perspectives. These drawings were due at the end of our class time. 10pts - daily work grade.
Friday in our small groups we build our own sculptures out of paper and styrofoam. We spent the whole our focusing on details of the sculpture and shading according to the light (spot light). This project was worth a total of 30 points.
If you missed daily work this week come see me about how to make up the points. If you have any questions, e-mail me at brandon.briscoe@leesummit.k12.mo.us
