Perspective Drawing
In this project 5th grade students learn about one-point perspective.
Students gained inspiration for their cities from the contemporary artist Stephen Wiltshire. Mr. Wiltshire is an artist with autism who has the amazing ability to draw landscapes from memory. Using the rules of perspective drawing, Mr. Wiltshire creates large-scale realistic drawings of cities.
Using the same rules of perspective, the fifth grade-students created their cities. First students created a vanishing point in the center of their page. Students learned that in a one point perspective drawing, the sides of the buildings should be drawn as through they are converging together towards the vanishing point. Students also noticed, as objects went back in space, or closer to the vanishing point, they appeared smaller.
