Hello & Welcome to Week 1 of Distance Learning!

We are going to go in depth with our scheduled journal assignments. Please use your sketchbooks for the follow days' assignments, prompts and studies. Check back every school day. A new post will be up by 9:00am.

Concept - Structures
Medium - Your choice
Elements of Art - line, shape, form, space
Principles of Design - unity, balance

First, let's define what a STRUCTURE is.  Click the hyperlink to watch this short video.

Research and brainstorm different types of structures. 

Use perspective to create your composition. 

Example: Structures in the form of buildings from the perspective of an ant's eye view. 

Example: Drawing building structures from a bird's eye view.

Example: Above, Art History in architecture of the column. 

Doric - simple circular shape in a Greek-style column.

Ionic - scroll shaped ornaments in a Greek-style column. 

Corinthian - the most decorative order of Greek-Roman architecture.
