Keepin' it in perspective

 8th grade artists were introduced to perspective drawing this week.  We are beginning with basic 1 point exercises and will progress to 2 point and multiple point perspective later.  The drawings below represent basic block numbers and letters drawn in perspective.


hanging out......



Students have finished adding their final installations at school.  There is a sculpture hanging out on a swing as you enter the building and a pyramid installation near the gym.  The sculptures are a huge hit and the 3-D art students are very proud of their work!
