1PT Perspective Illusion Worksheet...
My example on light paper My example on black paper I know! My students were quick to point out that it wasn't October. But I have been doing quite a bit of animal themed projects lately and I was inspired by this wonderful One Point Perspective Lesson from SmART Class and this lesson by Shine Brite Zamorano inspired by this artwork . My students chose between black or light colored construction paper to set their mood. I used Natalie's incredibly helpful guidelines to help the children set up their landscape. Chalk pastel was used to set the atmosphere for sky, ground, roads, and shadows. Oil pastel was used for the trees. The trickiest part for the kids seemed to be making those first trees in the foreground Large and working down from there.It is a bit advance for younger children, but they did a great job! These were created by children 6-9. More to post!
Struggling with perspective? Let this guide help! Improve your art, drawings & illustrations with these 1, 2 & 3 point perspective tips.
An art teacher for years, I've found that these two worksheets are essential to help students understand the basics of how one-point perspective works. The first worksheet is dedicated to the basics of one-point perspective using simple shapes and the basic vocabulary which will guide you step by step as the shapes become 3D forms. Using a ruler, students will draw directly on the worksheet and complete the forms themselves (along with your direction). The second sheet introduces more vocabulary and puts this newfound knowledge into practical use as an entire outside scene is drawn in twelve different steps. Students are encouraged to follow along on a separate piece of paper as they will reconstruct the scene as well as add their own embellishments within it. I trust your students will find these as beneficial and enlightening as mine do. Enjoy!

HeNRI MATISSE December 31, 1869- November 5, 1954 I began this unit on Matisse by showing the video "Dropping in on Matisse", then reading the book "Drawing with Scissors". I read on more on my own the book "Matisse from A to Z". I am totally hooked on Matisse for some reason. So, I decided to try three lesson inspired by the artist this year. The first one is... PICTURE IN A PICTURE (worksheet below created by Tabitha Seaton) (This is a new lesson I will be doing soon, examples coming soon...) Haley A. 8th grade Kimberley R. 7th grade Angel S. 8th grade Autumn B. 8th grade Rosie, 7th grade Chloe, 6th grade Aracely, 7th grade Alexis A., 7th grade Emily A. 7th grade Hailey j. 6th grade WILD BEAST WINDOWS Matisse was always bringing the outside in. He loved to work indoors, but look outside. He was like a goldfish in a bowl, a spectator always looking out but being protected from the elements. So, he brought the light into his work by opening up all the windows. He always enjoyed using colors that "sing" since he was a Fauve (Wild Beast in English). So, we are going to create a window that brings the outside into us. Lets use the same wild colors that Matisse uses. They don't have to make sense. Trees can be pink and purple, the sky can be green! The crazier the better. Choose colors like a wild beast! Matisse would love it... Mrs. Seaton's Windows 1. Have the kids make an "X" on their paper with the corners of the "X" meeting the corners of the paper. The center of the "X" becomes the Vanishing Point. Let them know that the vanishing point is always on the horizon line of the landscape that they will create later. 2. Make an opening for the window by creating a rectangle. All corners of the rectangle must match up with the lines of the "X". Each corner of the window will rest on the "X". (use a ruler) 3. Create a sill under the window to put objects on. These objects can be something important to the artist to share with us their personality. Matisse usually put goldfish, plants, or flowers on his tables. I put my daily devotional book, my prayer shawl, my Chai Tea and my cat. Kids can put a football, their favorite book, or their phone in the sill. 4. Make a patterned curtain (Matisse loved wild prints) or use the vanishing point to create shutters or lines on the ceiling. *I will count points for this or bonus (depending on level of grade). 5. Draw a landscape of choice. Matisse usually showed a sunny, hot place by the sea (his favorite). I drew a hiking path at the Nature Preserve. Students can draw their favorite vacation spot, their front yard, or downtown city streets. Draw Draw Draw, be creative... Matisse thought that art was not meant to look like a photograph. So, don't mimic realistic nature, draw what is in your imagination. 6. Now color crazy! Go pick the brightest colors you can find! Find the crayons, markers, and colored pencils that sing the loudest and use those for your picture. (above in colored pencils by Tabitha Seaton) (above in Acrylic Paint by Tabitha Seaton) (above in crayon by Tabitha Seaton) Mrs. Seaton's Student's Windows These are older examples that we painted. After we were done we hung them in the halls above the lockers to give a view into our artistic imaginations... PAPER CUT OUTS Matisse created the idea of paper cut outs when he was old and restricted to a wheelchair or in his bed. He was unable to stand for long periods of time and do all the usual art from his younger days. Although his body was tired, his imagination and creative spirit was UNSTOPPABLE! He was not going to quit. Sometimes it is out hardest time that makes our art it's finest. Art is medicine to the soul! It keeps your heart alive when your body is dying... So, he got scissors and cut organic and geometric shapes from painted paper and arranged them harmoniously. He called this "drawing with scissors". His place was a mess, filled with scraps of painted paper everywhere. Mrs. Seaton's Examples I did this paper cut out when my first daughter Maisy was very small. It shows the joy of a new mother as her girls grows. I did this paper cut out after I had gone through a spiritual transformation to a Christian retreat in 2008. I made these 2 above between 2009&2011 student examples from Mrs. Seaton's class Spring 2014 Sheila, 7th grade Breanna M., 7th grade Annalee, 7th grade Autumn, 7th grade Alison, 6th grade Ashley O., 7th grade Ricardo, 8th grade Daniel, 6th grade Shae W., 6th grade Jocei, 6th grade Hailey j., 6th grade Kaitlyn pickle, 6th grade Anjel, 6th grade Allen, 6th grade Madison, 6th grade Josh h., 6th grade Lauren Speights, 7th grade Rachel Drennon, 7th grade Lauren Speights, 7th grade Kimberley Ramos, 7th grade RaylanTave, 8th grade Caleb teeters, 7th grade Lauren Speights, 7th grade Kaylynn Payne, 7th grade Jose, 7th grade Grant, 8th grade Maria S., 7th grade Omar, 7th grade Jonathan, 7th grade
Here is a printable handout of the one point perspective grid that both artists started with. Just download it and enlarge it to letter size. Then slip it underneath a piece of lightweight drawing paper. Don't trace the grid. Just start drawing your city or room, using the underlying grid lines as a guide. After a few drawings you will find that you don't even need the grid any more. Drawing on a larger paper? No problem. Use a ruler to make the 'X', starting at each corner, as in the first video. Next, put the grid handout underneath your big paper, lining the vanishing point up with the center of the 'X'. Lightly trace and extend the grid lines onto your larger paper and then begin.

From singular music to singular illustrations today. Like all the New Yorker covers by Eric Drooker, who better than a Manhattan artist to keep the magnificent art in those weekly covers?

Teaching my ART I kids about 1-Point Perspective! I saw this really great idea on the Art at Becker Middle School blog about masking tape perspective and I wanted to try it with the kids. I changed it up a bit, but using multi colored masking tape for the different parts of the perspective diagram. I started by showing my classes this video of a time lapse one point perspective drawing of an alley way. During the video I asked my students to make observations about what was happening, what the artist was doing, or using to help him create his art. They were so transfixed! After the video I had the kids discuss with their table mates what they observed and then everyone, yes EVERYONE, took turns sharing. I got some great answers, here is what the students said: -He used a ruler almost the whole time. -He drew lightly with a pencil and then darkened it with a pen. -He started in the center, from a point. -Everything in the middle is smaller. -He started with lines, but then suddenly it turned into a city. -He used diagonal lines. -At the end the drawing was 3D. Afterward we dissected the main parts of 1 point perspective and added it into our sketchbook. Key vocabulary we included: Horizon Line, Vanishing Point, Orthogonals, and Transversals. The next day we reviewed the terms and took our learning to the hallway! Each table had a different colored masking tape and sharpies to label the pieces they added to the wall. (FYI Orthogonals take up A LOT of tape, we ran out of that color and had to switch some things around.) Trying to make sure our Horizon Line is actually horizontal! Adding windows making sure we've got the right diagonal angle! This was so fun and colorful too! I think it went really well! The kids had a great time and as we were working, a few teachers were walked by and one even stopped to take a few pictures! The next day before school began I had several math teachers speak to me about how much they loved seeing the math vocabulary (transversals and orthogonals) on the walls labeled. I was doing a little bit of cross curricular and I didn't even realize it! The next phase of this one point perspective unit we also talked about birds eye view and we got started working on our own drawings. I gave the students a choice between the street view and birds eye view because I wanted them to have the option and also so that they would feel like were invested in the process. We're gonna make a round about street in the center here! Adding details! (sorry it's upside down!) We're still working hard on these so I'll post the finished project soon! How do you keep your kids, and yourself, excited about teaching perspective?
