Day 2 Perspective Review

We have all the blue/purple shadows in and now start on the yellow highlights - I believe the sun is just starting to peek out as the clouds roll by.

2 Point Perspective Revisited

Reviewing 2 point perspective is always fun. I try to do the project with the kids in order to demo the process.
The assignment is to demonstrate knowledge of perspective by working with buildings, cars and people, foreground, middle ground and back ground. Students can go anywhere and any time in their imagination. Ideas can spark from a good book, movie, trip, dream, etc. I tell the kids they can use the opportunity to crawl around in their heads. That seems to be a bizarre idea to some....
Here is mine in process. I settled on a little scene of an English village based on some genealogical research I've been doing and then spiced it a bit with experiences from some trips to London.
After it's done from memory, I then like to compare the actual snapshot at the end of the project. My memory always embellishes the scene. That's the halo effect I believe.
And yes, some of the kids seem to work better with a little competition from me. Our rule is that they get another day after I pull in with mine finished. They're always praying I'll loose my pencils or break my fingers.... We'll see...

State Art in the Events Center at Casper

Yes, it's the floor of an arena filled with about 4000 pieces of art work from all over the state!

Twelve Lyman students attended and did a great job. They brought back 7 ribbons and a Purchase Award.

The banquet was delicious and a great finish to the trip.

Thanks to all who went. You made it wonderful and fun for your advisors.
