TeePee Landscspe

Vocabulary;

Nomad, trade, contour, space, depth, horizon line, overlapping, perspective.

Visual Perspective:

When your eyes change the way things seem because of how far or close they are to you.

For examples, standing on the Texas plains looking out onto Native American grounds, the tee-pees that are closest to you would seem to be the biggest, most detailed, lowest on the plane & most visible. On the contrast, The tee-pees farthest away appear smaller, less detailed, higher towards the horizon & hidden by other objects.

Using these techniques will make things in your drawings seem closer or further away.

Size: making objects smaller when they are further away & larger when they are closer.

Detail: objects close should be crisp and detailed, while things further away should be drawn with little or no details.

Position: things far away from the viewer seem to be getting sucked into

The center where the horizon line sits.

Overlapping: objects closest are more fully visible than those farther away because of being blocked.

1 make sure the center of your tee-pee is going straight up by drawing a light pencil guideline. Draw a horizontal line at the bottom of the line for a sittin ing surface.

2. Make the center of a triangle meet on the straight line.

3. Draw a aller triangle in center by ground for door opening.

4. Draw a flap from door pinned back and open. Shade the inside of tee-pee to show shadows within.

5. Add details; designs around tent should bend with contour of cone rather than straight. Create a space around tee-pee (plateaus, mountAins, covered wagons, ect.)

When drawing is complete, we will use washable markers to make thick outlines around objects. Watered brushes will be used to pull the ink from the outside to the inside.

Visual Perspective ATC (art trading cards)

OPTICAL//VISUAL Perspective-

When objects in a picture/drawing

appear closer or further from the viewer.

Teacher Example One (above) and Two (below)

There are many things you can do to make a flat drawing appear more realistic.

You can make things appear as though there are CLOSER or FURTHER away by using

7 Drawing Techniques.

7 Optical/ Visual Perspective Techniques

1. Overlapping

2. Size

3. Value

4. Position

5. Horizon Line

6. Detail

7. Linear

Definitions Below…

Your assignment is to illustrate these 7 techniques with trading cards.

The first 2 cards will be the Cover Card and the Contents Card.

Cover Card will need the words "Optical or Visual Perspective",

the definition, and your name creatively drawn on it.

(You can put your definition on back if needed. )

Contents Card- will need to say the 7 techniques in order and be listed below.

Atmospheric Perspective

Look at the photo above..

Tell me what you see.

What changes when things get further?

This is called ATMOSPHERIC PERSPECTIVE.

MORE PHOTOS

This cool mountain-scape is perfect for showing how atmospheric perspective works.

As space recedes, value usually decreases and details diminish.

This can be more prominent in foggy, snowy, or rainy weather.

Gravity Falls uses a lot of atmospheric perspective tricks to make the scenery appear to be full of space...

Take Notes:

STUDENTS PLANNING

Finished pieces

Art 2

Art 1

Plan on Index Card or Draw in Journal (bigger than hand).

Before we PAINT,

we PLAN.

1. Find your idea for your landscape. You will need to commit to your choice, so pick wisely.

Go to Google Images and type in "Atmospheric Perspective Landscape"or be more specific

"Atmospheric Perspective Forest"

2, Draw a Landscape (sky and land) with layers (foreground, middle-ground, and background).

-make sure front layer has details, is dark, and bigger.

-keep background layer simple, light, and small.

4. Use ONE COLOR of colored pencil to color in your layers.

Use more pressure in foreground and less in background.

Add details to the front layer with a marker in the same color.

(see example above from journal)

---------------------------------------------------

This is one of my examples for teaching the lesson on how to achieve Atmospheric Perspective.

1. pencil draw a landscape having the 3 different layers of depth

(front, middle, back, and also sky).

2. They then have to choose 1 color only, monochromatic, to use on the entire picture.

Using a fine colored Sharpie, they trace the front layer in that chosen color

and adding details to the front layer only.

Using an ultra fine colored Sharpie, they then trace the second layer in the same color with less or no detail.

The back later will stay in pencil only.

3. Then students use tempera cakes or watercolor pencils to add the value variety.

Shade the sky in lightly with the color chosen,

the 3rd layer slightly darker,

2nd later slightly darker,

and the front first later the darkest.

After shading with the watercolor pencil, they use a wet brush to go over each later individually. The final step is to use a regular colored pencil to add in some shading onto the front layer only to achieve depth, space, and detail in the front.
