As a follow up the students' recent study on the Renaissance, Lori (the art history teacher) and I collaborated on a lesson on perspective, one of the key characteristics of the Renaissance. Using the horizon line and vanishing point as reference marks, students drew a city block in perspective. It was a challenging lesson and I was concerned that they would become weary of the tediousness in the line work involved, but many students were actually engaged and invested in their drawing. I am delighted by all the details they added in their architecture.
Hello! Welcome to my blog! I'm an art teacher at Manhattan Academy in Manhattan Beach, CA. My students range from pre-school through 5th grade. When I'm not teaching art, I'm having fun with my husband and toddler girl, and working on a children's book.
