Assignment due Wednesday, 4/3: Draw an Interior Room in One-Point Perspective


Vincent Van Gogh
"Vincent's Bedroom in Arles", 1888


Using what you learned about perspective from this week's in class exercises, draw an interior room in one-point perspective using graphite and/or charcoal and your 19"x24" Bristol drawing paper (you will also need a ruler). Remember that YOU determine the vanishing point; think of your eyes as laser beams shooting into one point, then extending outwards horizontally to create the horizon line or "eye-level" line. Also remember that these are imaginary lines that we use to create the illusion of 3-dimensional space onto a 2-dimensional picture plane, so do your best to eliminate these process lines in your final drawing.


Some images to guide you:




'H' indicates the horizon line here, with the large red dot marked 'V' being the vanishing point.


Again the vanishing point is marked in red, with all the angles of the room and its objects descending into that point.



Example of a final result where the process lines have been eliminated:
