Drawings are displayed on a wall. Each student's drawing will be evaluated for clear evidence of use of a horizon line which results in a bird's-eye view. Specifically, drawings should include an imaginary horizon line within the upper half of the drawing, and most drawing and detailing should appear below that line. In a whole class discussion, students will be asked to describe what they did to show perspective in their drawings. Chalk is returned to the supply area.
Students wash the chalk off of their hands.
This lesson can be extended by adding color to the perspective drawings using watercolors. Connect the lesson to social studies by creating three-dimensional maps of students' neighborhoods or the school campus. Students can create perspective art discovering other angles. Art in Action .
