This week students in all grades have a fresh start and a new “perspective” in drawing. Continuing our technical skills and studies K-4th graders learned how to draw a one point perspective drawing. In grade 5-8 students learned to draw a two point perspective. Perspective is “a representation of solid objects on a two-dimensional surface so as to give the right impression of their height, width, depth, and position in relation to each other when viewed from a particular point.” And that's a lot of words! I explained that we are making magic because we are making a 2D piece of paper “look” 3D. Armed with pencils and rulers, students created 3 dimensional drawings. In order to create these spaces we needed to define horizon line or skyline, which is the line that divided the land from the sky.
