Perspective is the appearance to the eye of objects in respect to their relative distance and positions. This year we will be working with all our art classes to include perspective in our drawings. Perspective gives our drawings a 3-D (three dimensional) appearance. We will discuss what makes a picture look 3-D. The farther away something is, the smaller it appears and has less detail. It also appears nearer the top of the page. Imagine yourself standing on the side of a road, a car is coming toward you from a long distance away. As the car gets nearer, it looks bigger and more colorful. Closer objects will be larger, with more detail, and closer to the bottom of the page. The first grade class was given pre-cut, colored shapes to begin their project.
Supplies: 
- Pre-cut colored shapes (Pattern)
- Pencil
- Ruler
- Glue stick
- Colored markers
- Black Sharpie
Directions:
l. Draw a large dot anywhere on your paper
2. Glue five shapes on the paper
3. Draw lines from the corners of the shapes to the dot.
4. Color, with colored markers, inside the drawn lines with the same color as the shape.
5. Outline the shapes and lines with black marker, being careful to stay on the lines. Use the ruler to be really neat.
