Line, Shape, Form and Space

For this project we were to create a downtown perspective using vanishing points. We first started by creating a landscape. We then found the light source. We used rulers and the light source to create buildings using the vanishing point. We also added windows and doors. This lesson could also be used in another art class when asked why buildings seem to get smaller the farther they are from you. You could have the kids write a little story for why they think it may seem to be smaller.
