Counter Point: Perspective

This unit focused on Gothic, the Renaissance, and the early Baroque stylistic periods and as such I chose the word extention, WITH A T....to reflect on the extension through verticality of the Gothic style and the continuation of classical design that echoes throughout the Renaissance.  The theme was perspective, so I chose to create a simple one-point perspective backdrop with the word 'extending' back into space.  Furthermore, perspective as we know it was invented in the Renaissance so it made sense to me to draw La Rotunda following the same vanishing point as the word.  I rendered with a base coat of chartpak marker highlighted mostly with staedler pencils and light areas of colored pencil.
