ART LESSON: PERSPECTIVE

For a while now we have been teaching a drawing to an eliminatory student after school. Our lessons mostly consist of learning basic drawing techniques and skills. Amongst theses lessons we’ve focused on topics such as transferring a drawing using a grid, learning different pencil weights, and shading. In our last lesson together we studied one point perspective where we drew a image of a road with telephone poles receding into the distance. Along with showing perspective with the telephone poles we had her also draw a small house beside the road  in perspective and had her shade it according to a light source. It is impressive to see the amount of insight she has gained in being able to understand, comprehend and discuss her own errors and successes.
