Perspective Drawing, a One Time Class

Students will participate in a short discussion about artist Vincent van Gogh. He is a well-known Dutch artist who specialized in paintings.  He is most known for painting Starry Night.

We will look specifically at his painting Bedroom in Arles and discuss why it was paintined. We will also look at the process of his work and the materials that he used. 

Students will create their own interior perspective drawing using the materials they provide.  I will be drawing along with the students. This is a step-by-step drawing class. I will be drawing with the students giving instructions.  This class is easily adapted to all ages because I model using lines and shapes.

Learning Objectives

Students will be able to:
• learn the definition of perspective.
• analyze a painting.
• draw an interior space using perspective

I have attached an image that we will be discussing. 

The image above was created by a 6th grade student.

The attached image is from the Van Gogh Museum collection. We will be discussing that image briefly during class. After the discussion we will work on our project. By the end of the class students will be familiar with Vincent van Gogh
