Through the guided drawing process, students will learn how to use simple lines and shapes to create different scenes in one point perspective. My teaching style involves breaking the process down into smaller, easy-to-follow steps. I pace the class according to the needs of the students; if needed, I give fast finishers a break, allowing students who need more time to complete their work, the time to do so, and even then, finishing before class ends is NOT the objective. The examples in the picture are only suggestive; students may also request a particular favorite if time allows. My classes are intended to be fun, informative, and a safe place to take artistic risks and make mistakes--that is experimentation, which artists do all the time! At the end of class, students will be invited to share their creations no matter what their progress is. More detailed information regarding this class can be found in the syllabus.
Learning Goals
Students will improve their understanding and skills in the use of one point perspective in their drawing.

I loved learning one point perspective in 7th grade art, and have had great success teaching it to my students in 4th through 7th grades and beyond. Over the years I have developed strategies for making the learning more accessible to younger students.Reviews
