 * In this course you will use traditional and computer generated methods to create works of art using the system of linear perspective. It is my goal that you are able to grasp a clear understanding of the concept to be able to apply it to other works of art in order to make your drawings more realistic. I will be guiding you along the way and providing feedback in a timely manner.**

Shift from a focus on the individual and information-focused learning to an emphasis on social learning and communication/ collaboration || **wiki** || **Students will respond to articles on the history of perspective drawing.

 * OBJECTIVE:** Students will use an online tutorial to draw a recognizable interior of a room using the system of linear perspective.


 * PROJECT DESCRIPTION:** You will use the online tutorial [] to create the interior of a room using linear perspective. You are to use the appropriate materials and follow the tutorial step-by-step. After completing the tutorial, you should have an accurate drawing of a room. Then use the art elements along with your own creativity to personalize your room. You may use your choice of colors, textures, and materials to complete your drawing. Scan or photograph your drawing and upload it to the class wiki.


 * WEEK 2 ASSIGNMENT**


 * OBJECTIVE:** Students will work in their learning community to create a collaborative artwork that portrays a fantasy environment and uses the system of linear perspective.


 * PROJECT DESCRIPTION:** Your learning community will collaborate to design and create a fantasy composition, indoor or outdoor, that uses the system of linear perspective. Your learning community must decide on a theme, then decide who is going to create the different parts of the composition. You must also decide how you are going to combine the parts of the composition (Photoshop, Gimp, Microsoft publisher, etc.). Each person in the group should add to the composition, but the final product must appear unified. The piece may or may not be realistic, but the use of linear perspective must be evident. Hold all of your planning discussions on the class wiki. Scan, photograph, and/or upload your finished design along with pictures of your individual parts to the class wiki.


 * STUDENT EXPECTATIONS**: Students are expected to complete all assignments by the due date. Students are also expected to participate in discussions and provide feedback to classmates.


 * ACADEMIC INTEGRITY:** All works of art are expected to be original to the artist. Any artwork used for inspiration should be cited. If any part of an existing paper or digital image is used, it must be manipulated to reflect the student's own idea or theme.
