Students will create a chalk drawing of a scene of their choice by using the process and techniques of horizon line, a variety of lines, vanishing points, and three-dimensional techniques. Perspective is an important concept for students to learn because the appearance of objects change as the point of view changes.
Point of view is an important spatial relationship concept.
More objects can be seen from a higher point of view and the three dimensions of structures become visible. The study of the processes necessary for creating different perspectives fosters students' appreciation of different drawing styles and the amount of observation and work required of the artist to draw accurately. The study of a variety of artwork which depicts countryside, cities, and other landscapes from a bird's-eye view will enhance a basic understanding of how an artist can depict a perspective from various eye levels by adjusting the horizon line. In addition, the study will enable students to express their creativity by providing additional visual arts tools. Students should have the basic knowledge necessary to draw three-dimensional rectangles or be able to use the concept of vanishing points in drawings.
