After playing with perspective on paper and becoming almost experts at cityscapes, country roads and school hallways, ART 8 students are going to showcase their knowledge of perspective in an unusual medium-duct tape. Our school hallways will soon be filled with giant duct tape 1-point and 2-point small group perspective pieces. Students are still responsible for creating correct perspective and for making sure all perspective rules are followed but they get to go big, go bright and liven up the school with a super fun medium. Check out our progress below! ART 8 staked our claims in the hallways this morning to start our giant duck tape perspectives. Groups each chose a color they wanted and got started. Each group is given a couple yardsticks, one roll of duck tape and some scissors. This is the summative assessment of our perspective unit so I offer no help and get to enjoy watching the pieces add a bit of depth to our 2-dimensional hallways.

ART 8 students are moving onto perspective for the next couple weeks. This is either a hit or a big miss with students :) Some love the order, precision and neatness, other despise the exact nature of this technique. Either way, it is an important concept to learn about and requires careful thinking and higher thinking skills. Most students don't realize they interact with perspective daily. This series of exercises, mini projects and final group project will take the next couple weeks and will introduce students to one-point and two-point perspective. To introduce the concept, students jumped right in and after looking at real-life examples, started a cityscape. They did this for two days- one for each perspective. We viewed simple YouTube videos (that you can view below) to get us started.
