My goals with this project:
Collaboration, communication, working large, getting artwork out of the classroom and to teach perspective in a way that is different. My students LOVE this project, and ask to do it every semester.
We start with a presentation that explores what "Space" means.
From here I add in the vocabulary and their definitions:
As we start our drawing process, I have several videos that I have the students watch and draw along with. Each one gives a different perspective process and viewpoint.
One Point Perspective Video: (students often have issues drawing the table on the bottom left, so be aware of this!)
2 Point Perspective Video:
City- 1 Point Perspective Video
City-Bird's Eye
City- 2 Point Perspective
The students each turn in a drawing for the video series. I grade on perspective use, use of rulers, and quality of the final. I don't expect the students to do ALL the details that each video provided- so I'll leave that up to you to decide how much/how little you want.
Doorways:
FINAL PROJECT:
- Students team up in groups of 2-3, though 2 works better and ensures that all have the chance to work on the project.
- Each student in the group is required to draw up a design for their doorway. The students then decide as a group which to use as their final design.
- The students will get two rolls of tape.
- I have found that blue painters tape is very visible on my walls- but it's up to you what you choose to use.
- 1 inch Blue Painter's tape
- Main lines
- 3/8 inch Blue Painter's tape
- for details/small lines
- Long rulers/yardsticks for ensuring lines are straight
- Exacto knives
- Put up a designated space (doorway) for each group of students.
- For the best results choose the end of a hallway to add to the experience of it!
- Use an exacto knife to finish edges nicely and to help with details
- Take a photo of the students and the finished piece.
- Students will upload the information (I use schoology, but you can do it via blogger or Google Classroom)
- Insert the image of your sketch, and insert the image of the final tape piece with you and your partner interacting with it. (10pts)
- Explain: The difference between the sketch and the final (10 pts)
- Explain: What was the process to create this? (5pts)
- Explain: How do you think it turned out? (5pts)
FINAL GRADING SCALE is up to you as the teacher, but a basic one to start with is HERE:
