My Grade 4's have been learning about perspective in our art lessons. Last week, we completed a project looking at one-point perspective. This is a project that I've done before, and the class next door was working on at the same time (coincidentally). I think it stands up as an art lesson because it is simple, but effective.
Students start with a vanishing point in the middle of their page and draw straight lines out from that point to the 4 corners of the page. As the images get closer to the middle of the page, they get smaller, creating the illusion that they are getting further away.
I let my students decide which media to use. Some used markers, others used paint, and some used pastels. I think they turned out beautifully.
