What's Next?


Year 5 have been enjoying our experiments with perspective drawing. This week some of  us commenced an indoor perspective sketch based on this art gallery idea from the Kids Artists blog. 
We don't have any of our own pictures ready yet, but we hope to show you some soon. If you haven't tried this yet, you can follow the link above to the instructions and try it yourself. We looked at other examples of indoor perspective drawings too. You can find some more at http://www.childs.mccsc.edu/art2000/art1p3.htm and http://www.art-rageous.net/Perspective.html . If you are finding it a bit tricky, you could try printing this worksheet to help.

You could also create an aquarium scene like this one from Once Upon an Artroom. Notice how the people are silhouettes?


One-point perspective adds depth to shapes and letters. Even little people can do it, as we can see here. There are lots more "Shooting Shapes" on the Artsonia website. You could try some shapes or letters yourself.

5B has already looked at a few examples of Op Art (optical illusion art). For something a bit more challenging, you could try a one point perspective design with your name, combined with an Op Art pattern like this one from Kids Artists.
Challenge yourself! Have fun! Hope we can publish some of your work soon!
