For this week 6th grade artists were finishing their final radial design projects. In addition, students are mounting their work for display and final review. Soon samples of these designs will be displayed on the Lakeview website and at Lakeview.
Early this week the students viewed a video on Basic Perspective concepts that further explored basic methods of creating one and two point perspective drawings. It also showed how to analyze landscapes and re-interpret them on a two-dimensional surface. This information will be very helpful as we complete our 1 point perspective drawings of a cube under a light source. Also, this perspective exposure will also help students create landscapes and seascapes for our future landscape painting unit.
We are now incorporating vocabulary and shading into our perspective drawings in color so that their look more three-dimensional and realsitic.
