After doing that, we had to use at least 3 different folds of paper to put onto the white piece of paper. On each of the strips of colored paper we had to make tabs to glue down the strips to the white paper so that they did not come unglued.

Perspective Drawing

  Description: For this assignment, our classmates taught us how to draw with perspective. We had to draw at least four squares in half of the paper, then draw lines from the corners of the squares to the middle of the paper. After that we went over those lines with black sharpie to make the lines stand out. Then we had to pick two of the patterns from their slide show and come up with two of our own to put in the squares. After that we used oil pastels to create at least three different combinations. Extension activity: I would teach the students about buildings and how they have perspective as well. For the assignment they will have to choose a building in their town and draw it. They will research the building and find pictures on the internet. After that they will draw the building showing shading and perspective.
