Drawing one point city view perspective drawings proved to be a challenging activity. Before moving onto vanishing points in different locations and drawings with more than one vanishing point, we practiced what we have learned so far.
First, I looked through many photos and selected several that had either roads, paths or canals vanishing into the background at a point near the center. Then the kids each selected a photo to use as a base for a drawing.
Please stay tuned to Highhill Education as many more entertaining and educational activity posts are planned for the summer.
This is a good idea. As a kid I really enjoyed perspective drawings, but was also frustrated because I felt that my work looked cartoony in the end. Drawing from real life helps sort out how curving lines and non-geometrical shapes look within a perspective drawing. Good work!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun, but turned out to be too much a challenge for my 7 year old. I think we'll try again next year.
