ESL ART CLASSES 2 AND 5, MARCH 31, 2011 PERSPECTIVE DRAWING

Students, you are doing a fantastic job drawing "in-perspective."  Nice work!  Remember key ideas to keep in mind when designing a 3D (three dimensional) space onto a 2D (two dimensional) surface; these include horizontal, vertical, and diagonal lines. 

For the next class, you will be covering the following:

*Analyze shapes, directional lines, and points on created illusionary boxes.  See link:

It's your turn to design:  Follow the instructions given in class.
