2 point perspective

In Grade 8 Term 1 we are learning about 2 point perspectives.
2 point perspective is used when you draw cubed objects like cubed houses.
In 2 point perspective the cubed shape vanish in 2 points.

To draw 2 point perspective you first have to make a horizon with 2 vanishing points.
Then you draw a horizontal line anywhere as long as the lines from the vanishing points can reach it.
Then you connect the two ends of the horizontal line with the 2 vanishing points.
After that you draw a line to make that line into a cubed shape with 2 point perspective.

This is an example of 2 point perspective. You can see that the buildings on the edge of the drawing becomes a dot and disappears.

We are supposed to use our names and make something that looks like a cube shaped object.
My plan for this assignment is to paint a Nintendo Wii, Nintendo Gamecube or Super Famicon.
Those are all cube shaped and I think that it should be easy because I know that shape and color of it.

I chose to do a Nintendo wii stand because I thought it is hard to make my name look like a Nintendo wii. If I do a wii stand than I dont have to try to make it look like something and I just have to draw it under the Nintendo wii.

First I planned the Nintendo wii stand to be black but I changed to gray because the original color of the stand is gray and I wanted the background to be black to make the Nintendo Wii stand out. I finished painting but my Nintendo wii stand's face did not have different tones so I had to paint over it again. I finished my painting. There is nothing much to explain about it because there is not much detail in it. I should have made the background more fancy than just plain black. I also could have drew something beside the Nintendo wii like a wii remote. I made the border blue because I thought that it would be boring with just black and white and the blue makes it look fresh. I made one mistake in with my 2 point perspective painting which is the "O". At the end of the O it should be able to see the top of the O but I forgot to paint it.

 I learned that I should add more detail to make my painting better and fancier.
