Perspective in drawing and painting
Description
A simple explanation of how to draw or paint a picture using perspective to add depth and greater realism to a picture. Kirsten O鈥橞rien demonstrates how to draw a street scene using the technique, rather than creating a 鈥榝lat鈥 picture. There is reference and comparisons to artistic styles used in the Bayeux Tapestry and Renaissance period.
Classroom Ideas
Students could watch the clip to gain a simple understanding about how perspective in art works. Once students have viewed the clip, they could create their own perspective drawing by following the guide presented.
Initially, it could be useful to use an image or photograph very similar to the one in the clip. Thereafter, students could draw a perspective scene using an image or photograph of choice.
