Maths and Art update

I had my maths and art tutorial a while ago and found it very useful if not kind of overwhelming at the time. When it was my turn to talk I gave my reasons for using perspective as a subjects. The main reason for choosing it as a subject is because I'm interested in that way it works and how it is used in so many different art subjects e.g. sculpture, painting, architecture, photography, optical illusions and also one of my favourites, chalk drawings.

James seemed to also liked the idea of chalk drawings and wanted me to do one myself. Now even though it is one of my favourite examples I wasn't really banking on doing one myself. Someone in the group suggested using a projector to, well project an image onto the ground and copy/trace it with chalk.

This is something that I'm really not confident in doing so I was not looking forward to it at all. The main reason is that my drawings skills are not up to something like this and also the difficulty of getting all of the proportions right. So I was starting to think of other stuff that I may be able to do. However, I was saved by Rebecca who helped me with my ideas about the chalk drawings and I'm probably going to go with that idea now and also develop it by first using thick paper to draw on.

Anyway, I've got to get the essay done first...

Here are some examples of chalk drawings, obviously a lot more complicated than what I will do but also really awesome:
(One example is of a photo of a drawing seen from an angle that shows it in proportion and another is of the same drawing seen from an angle that shows it out of proportion.
