Illusion of Depth Landscape

*Art One*

Students used overlapping, space, converging lines, placement, detail, and color to create the illusion  of depth in a surreal landscape. Materials? Tempera, collage, charcoal, colored pencil...on brown paper bag!

City Drawing in Perspective

Students used their knowledge of one-point perspective to draw a city from a bird's vantage point.

Student Checklist:
Created a full composition of buildings
connected all building edges to the vanishing point using converging lines
erased converging lines and vanishing point
added details to city (including rooftop details, roads, cars, people, parks, etc)
outlined buildings and details with pen/Sharpie
added gradients of colored pencil
used a limited palette to color city
close attention to details and craftsmanship

Preparation:
Model and guide students through five one-point perspective drawings (cubes, organic shapes, letters, railroad, houses). Notes on vocabulary. Image examples in a PowerPoint. Several usage packets at students' tables.
