Description of Piece:
If we were to cut out a circle on the wall, we would see the room inside it. This is what our art piece is suppose to show. Instead of actually cutting the wall out, we drew a 3D version of a room on a 2D surface. Materials Used: For this art piece, we used a paper that is thicker than regular copy paper and thinner than a canvas. We also used two colors of tempera paint, which are pink and white. Once we were done with painting the piece, we used wallpaper glue to stick it onto the wall. |
Math Behind Piece:
In order to make this, we used a one point perspective. In order to draw from a one point perspective, we had to have a vanishing point and orthogonal lines. The vanishing point is usually in the middle of the image, as things get closer to the vanishing point, the smaller the object gets until they appear to vanish. Another type of lines we used was orthogonal lines, and those lines are coming out of the vanishing point. Orthogonal lines represent receding parallel lines. In the case of our room, we had two orthogonal lines that meet up together in the middle to make an “X”, the place where they meet up is also the vanishing point. To start drawing a room, we have to draw the back wall which consist of horizontal and vertical lines that are touching the orthogonal lines. The horizontal lines should be parallel to the bottom edge of the paper and the vertical lines should be perpendicular to the horizontal lines. The closer we draw the vertical and horizontal lines to the vanishing point, the deeper the room will look than if the lines were closer to the edge of the paper. The way we painted the drawing also helped with the perspective of the room, we used shadows which helps the people looking at the drawing to tell that the room is going in.
