Perspective
5th graders have been learning about 1 point perspective the last few weeks (Also known as "3-D drawing")
Lately, they have been creating their own city, making sure to use a ruler & their imagination. I love perspective. I can remember when I was in 7th grade at Edwards Middle School & it was the first art class i had ever had in my life. The teacher taught us how to do perspective. I would go home & design all kinds of cities. I hung them up all around my bedroom. I wanted to be an architect once I realized that's what it was called.
Attached, you'll see a Quick Time video showing you the steps to start your own perspective drawing. Try it. Don't get frustrated though. Perspective can be tricky at first, but once you "get it", your imagination will run wild! You just need to PRACTICE!
So what do you think about perspective?Download draw_a_city_using_1_pt.mov.mov
I've really ben trying perspective.I don't deny that it is very hard. I think 3-D is awesome!

I think perspective is cool. I enjoy drawing it sometimes even though I am not an artist. I think coloring and painting would be my favorite art activities.

Thanks Mrs.Anthos! I really appreciate it. I never really have thought of myself as a really good artist. But I do enjoy art very much. I try very hard at all that I do even if I'm not the best at it. It's just like they say, " Practice makes perfect".

When I get in 5th grade I want to do some of those cities. But I can see that it will be hard work. Well I know that it will be hard work because it will be my first time. But when I know how to do it, it will be easier for me. I can feel that it will be very fun!

I think I like perspective and I would want to be an artist like you because you draw really pretty things.

I think is good to know how to draw portrait.
