Let FLEX Curriculum allow you to focus on fun lessons with student-friendly resources while making your workload <em>vanish<\/em>!<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Most students understand that things closer to us will look bigger and things farther away will appear smaller. What is difficult is keeping track of which lines are horizontal, vertical, or diagonal. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/theartofeducation.edu\/flex\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">FLEX Curriculum<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> includes a handy four-and-a-half-minute student-facing <em>What Is Perspective?<\/em> video with concise explanations and clear animations. FLEX also includes several worksheets including step-by-step drawing guides and practice sheets. Check out the <em>Perspective<\/em> Collection in <a href=\"https:\/\/theartofeducation.edu\/flex\/\">FLEX Curriculum<\/a> for six lesson plans and every supplemental support you&#8217;ll need!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Engage kinesthetic learners with a physical encounter of linear perspective.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Set up a simple scene in the classroom with objects at varying distances. Stretch string taut from a fixed point (representing the viewer&#8217;s eye level) to the corners of each object.\u00a0 Students can look down the length of the string to see how the lines converge at a vanishing point on the horizon line.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5. Use a grid to simplify guided practice.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Keeping lines perfectly horizontal or vertical can be challenging for young learners. They see the orthogonal lines slope toward the vanishing point and intuitively slant other lines incorrectly. Forms appear to be leaning or falling over, which is frustrating! Create simple guided practice drawings on graph paper or a gridded dry-erase board. The grid will give students an easy guide to follow because they will only need to worry about angling lines for the orthogonal lines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-462182\" src=\"https:\/\/theartofeducation.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Photo-4-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"dry erase grid\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theartofeducation.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Photo-4-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/theartofeducation.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Photo-4-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/theartofeducation.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Photo-4-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/theartofeducation.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Photo-4.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>6. Build a two-point perspective machine with a rubber band and a paper clip.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Use a rubber band and a paper clip to make a simple device for students to see orthogonal lines. Tape the sides of the rubber band to the vanishing points. Attach a paper clip to the center of the rubber band to use as a handle. As the student pulls the paper clip to the corner of a form, the rubber band will become the orthogonal line.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-462180\" src=\"https:\/\/theartofeducation.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Photo-5.gif\" alt=\"rubber band and paper clip\" width=\"708\" height=\"590\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Turn this simple rubber band tool into a reusable perspective machine by mounting it onto a board. Students can slide their paper in place as they sketch. Once they&#8217;re done, they can remove their paper and return the board with mounted rubber bands in place for the next student.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>7. Explore Op Art to give students room to experiment without the pressure of realism.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Students are awestruck when they look at works by<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guggenheim.org\/artwork\/artist\/victor-vasarely\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Victor Vasarely<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and others from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tate.org.uk\/art\/art-terms\/o\/op-art\">Op Art movement<\/a>. The artwork seems complex but is often composed using the repetition of simple ideas and shapes. Vasarely worked to build a \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fondationvasarely.org\/en\/permutations-algorithms-period\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">plastic alphabet<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201d consisting of modular geometric designs. Vasarely was systematic in his approach which makes it easy for students to replicate. Draw a hexagon and then draw a \u201cY\u201d in the middle to turn it into a cube. Repeat this simple drawing schema in a tessellation to fill a page with Vasarely-style cubes. Challenge students to increase the complexity by using vanishing points to add depth to the drawing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-462181\" src=\"https:\/\/theartofeducation.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Photo-6-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"op art example\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theartofeducation.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Photo-6-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/theartofeducation.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Photo-6-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/theartofeducation.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Photo-6-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/theartofeducation.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Photo-6.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>8. Try a perspective relay race to make practicing basic forms fun.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Divide students into teams for a relay race with a bit of a twist! Each team will start with a sheet of paper, a pencil, and a ruler on one end of the room. On the other end, have a variety of small pre-cut shapes and glue sticks. When the race begins, the first player on the team runs and grabs a pre-cut shape and a glue stick. Then, they run to their paper and glue it down. The player uses the pencil and ruler to turn the pre-cut shape into a form. When the drawing is complete, they run back and tag the next teammate to repeat the process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mastering perspective drawing can be challenging but extremely rewarding! While we wish there was one single solution that will work for all students, unfortunately, there is not. The good news is that there are many strategies and hands-on activities to try. Use laminated images or a photo scavenger hunt to help students identify orthogonal lines. Provide grids, rubber bands, and paper clips to assist students as they draw. Introduce Op Art to ease the pressure and encourage high levels of success for all students.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Make your art room a safe place to explore perspective and you will transform student frustration into artistic breakthroughs!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>How do you help students understand linear perspective?<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><i>What are your favorite art history examples that use linear perspective?<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Note: Be sure to review all resources and preview all artists before determining if they are appropriate to share with your students.
