2nd Grade Perspective Paintings
The 2nd graders just finished a project using space, also known as perspective, in their artworks. We learned that you can make objects look further away in an artwork by following three rules:
1. Change the size of the objects. When something is far away it looks smaller.
2. Overlap the objects. When something is closer it covers up, or overlaps, the things behind it.
3. Change the placement. Objects that are close to you in an artwork are placed in the foreground. Objects that are a little further away are placed in the middle ground. Objects that are far away in an artwork are placed in the background.
Can you spot the ways this 2nd grade student followed these three space rules in this artwork?
I'm really proud of how hard our second grade students worked on these perspective tree landscapes. Check out the GALLERY for more student examples.
