Here’s a challenging project our four/five class just completed. They used the rules of one point linear perspective to create the illusion of three dimensions on a two dimensional surface. We looked at examples of landscape paintings to understand the idea of a single vanishing point located in the center of the paper at which all points converge. After drawing a road (or a river) starting at the bottom of the page, they added barns, buildings, trees and the like. Clouds, birds and airplanes filled the skies, and the addition of watercolor paint completed the project. Click on any image to see more.
