Subject matter: 1 point and 2 point room of your choice.

• Assignment 1:
  Step 1: Take photos of a 1 point perspective room using the directions in the "Finding Perspective in a Photograph" page (see link at right).
  Step 2: Print out your best photo and mark it with red pen as described in the video that you watched about finding perspective (again, see link above).
  Step 3: Draw at least four thumbnails, showing 4 different options of what your proposed finished drawing will look like.
  Step 4: Post your completed thumbnails and your marked-up photographs on the discussion board. If your photographs are not marked with red pen like the video shows, you will not receive full credit.
