Perspective Drawing

Seventh grade students have been busy learning about and practicing linear perspective drawing techniques, specifically two-point perspective drawing.  We spent a few class periods working on practice drawings - drawing the horizon line, using the right and left vanishing points to draw sidewalks, buildings, windows, etc.  Once students finish their pencil drawings they begin outlining with a black permanent marker.  Some students are moving on to adding color. The medium for this drawing project is colored pencil. An emphasis on value is the focus for this step. Students are identifying a light source and will add highlights, tints, shades and shadows according to the placement of the light source. This group is loving the linear perspective drawing process so far and I am truly enjoying the progress they are making!  Take a look below😀
