This week the 6th grade art classes started their unit on One-Point Perspective. Students are learning how to transform a geometric shape into a geometric solid. Each student is using the principle of linear perspective to transform a square into a cube.
The students are learning many new terms related to the use of perspective,shading and the light and shadow system.
Students are also using the concept of value and cast shadow to bring out the
three-dimensional illusion in their cube.
