In this unit, we were supposed to draw a city with either one point perspective or 2 point perspective. First, we learned about some knowledge that we need to use when drawing the perspective city. Also, before we draw the perspective city we need to prepare rulers, pencils, paintbrush, and the paper that we need to draw on it. When I draw the perspective city, I draw the horizon line at first and I choose to draw it at the middle of the paper so it can also make the eye level at the middle. Then, I draw the 2 vanishing point at the very left and the very right side of the paper, because I decided to draw my perspective city by using 2-point perspective. I choose to use 2 point perspective because I think I can present my perspective city better, use spaces more comfortable, and make the audience can easily understand the topic of my perspective better by using 2 point perspective. Later on, I draw lines that is perpendicular to the horizon lines and connect the lines to both of the vanishing point. It makes some rectangle shapes that can represent stores in my perspective city. I draw some decoration on those stores which can strongly make the audience know that the topic of my perspective city is about sport, because I draw some sport logos at the different stores such as Nike, Adidas…etc. After finish the structure of the perspective city, I start using the paintbrush to paint my perspective city. I use colors to create rhythm and pattern by using different colors. Also, I create different values on colors to show the distance by viewing the city. At last, I fill in all the tiny missing spaces and make my perspective city more colorful by adding more colors in the empty spaces.
After finishing this project and unit, I think I did a good job on understanding about perspective and did a great job on the outline of my perceptive city. I think I can improve on the painting part of my project. I think I can paint the colors more clearly and creating more values, because it can makes my project more real and neatly. Also, I think I can improve on using the right colors at the right places. It is important because it can makes the whole view more comfortable and having more attention from the audiences. I think there are many great good things that I saw from my classmates’ works. They paint the city very colorful and having some great colors at the right places. They didn’t have many mistake when painting the city. I think they did a better job than me and I did learn many things from them.
