MS- Have a Little Perspective

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.
