Perspective Art - Depth

Lesson: 1. Draw 6 rectangles of various sizes on a sheet of 12" x 18" drawing paper. x 2. Connect the X (vanishing point) to each corner of the rectangles. Start with the closest rectangles. Pretend you are shooting a laser from the X to the corners. If you can't see the corner, you don't have a "clear shot". 3. Draw lines that have a "clear shot" - overlap when necessary 4. Colour the face of each block a different colour. Colour the perspective part of each rectangle the same colour ad the rectanglue but with a lighter hue


Next steps: Three-dimensional perspective technique can be applied to another project. Some suggestions are: Gr. 4 Saskatchewan – simple buildings, farm machinery, FNMI symbols Gr. 5 pop culture – sports symbols, graffiti art Gr. 6 identity and its influences – student initials, symbols drawn on shapes that represent their youth/identity
