Project Statement
I chose to use a basement as my room, because before coming to Ohio State that is where I would do all my homework and work on the majority of my art projects when I did not need natural light. I like the basement space so much because it is quiet and away from the activity of the house, and I appreciate being by myself when I need to get projects completed because it allowed me to focus my thoughts. For the dimensions, I knew I wanted to keep it uniform and square, so I made it 14-by-13 feet. The objects I used were a slanted drawing table with a sliding keyboard tray. Computer monitors were mounted on the wall. I then decided to put a sofa on the wall on the other side, so if I ever needed to take a break I could lay out there. I next conceptualized my personal objects. I love to listen to music while I work, especially listening to vinyl records, so I felt it would be important to put a record player in the drawing. I also added a fish tank and plants. To keep everything organized, I put a shelf up so I could stack my work materials and have a shelf for the records. To keep everything centered I used my vanishing point directly in the center.

Reflection
Overall I really enjoyed this project. There was something about perspective drawings and especially one-point perspective that I found satisfying. I like how a designer can take a simple object and give a great deal of depth to provide complexity. I think the one part I need to work on is detailing. I am not the best at it so I like to keep my drawings rather simple. It is a skill I think I improved as the semester progressed but it was definitely a challenge at first.
