Vocabulary:
One Point Perspective: A drawing has one-point perspective when it contains only one vanishing point on the horizon line. This type of perspective is typically used for images of roads, railway tracks, hallways, or buildings viewed so that the front is directly facing the viewer. ... These parallel lines converge at the vanishing point.

• Horizon Line: The line in a perspective drawing where the sky meets the ground. It also represents the viewer’s eye level. That is, the placement of the line on the picture plane depends on the vantage point of the artist. For example, if the artist is low to the ground, the horizon line is low on the picture plane. You can see the top of an object if it is below eye level, below the horizon line. If an object is above eye level, above the horizon line, you can not see its top.
• Vanishing Point: The point on the horizon line at which lines or edges that are parallel appear to converge.
• Orthogonal Line: Literally, a line which is at right angles to another. In linear perspective drawings, it is the line you draw from the corner of an object to the vanishing point. It establishes the illusion of a perpendicular line going into the distance. Orthogonal lines should always be drawn lightly at first. Usually, most of an orthogonal will be erased.

Homework Due on Monday, September 17

Objective:
Create a photograph of yourself interacting with ARCHITECTURE

Steps: 
1. Research examples of portraiture and architecture. Observe how artists have incorporated the two. Ask yourself " How can  I create a unique and creative photograph of me interacting with architecture? What point of view, angles and perspective can I use to create a unique solution to this design problem?

2. Photograph interesting architectural spaces and places 
(preferably outside of school) that you see on a regular basis and some new places
Notice how light affects these spaces, how do you interact or react in them- how do you function in these spaces?

3. Grab a friend and get them to take multiple photographs of YOU in these spaces and places. They maybe interior and exterior photos. Photograph your house, buildings you visit inside and out. Go interesting places- visit Boston- find architecture that excites you!

4. Use a photo app to digitally alter the picture, crop, enhance and alter to create a photo that represents YOU and Architecture

5. Select your strongest image and place in the Architecture Shared folder labeled YOU + ARCHITECTURE. Be prepared to show this image in class during class critique

**You will be using this image on your blog....more details to come!

Welcome to the Introduction to Architecture Course. Please review the Course Expectations to the right

Please join google classroom for additional assignments and for turning in work.

Architects, Interior Designers, Landscape Architects and Industrial Designers are responsible for the creation of the spaces and objects that we use every day. The environment, physical space, and objects that surround us affect how we function on a daily basis. Students will gain knowledge of these art fields through in-depth study that will include readings, videos, and guest speakers. Knowledge of these fields will be applied to authentic learning experiences through the creation of sketches, architectural drafting, elevations, model building and computer aided design. Visits to design studios and field trips will be a part of the course. Students planning a career in these fields will build portfolios of their work.

Process:
- Gather information and research
- Interview clients and assess needs/ wants
- sketch ideas and research materials
-propose ideas and critique
-build playhouse structure

Evaluation:
-Level of creativity
-Ability to create a playhouse that engages target audience in creative play
-Craftsmanship
