This week in Art & Design we developed our perspective skills. We looked at a variety of images online that show excellent examples of perspective in the real world., some of these included images of New York, Tokyo, London among others. Having looked at these images we moved on to create our own pieces of perspective art.

Today we learned by carefully listening to Mrs Senior and following step-by-step instructions. Also, we used an art blog with diagrams to help us. To express our art skills we used unusual and unique methods of drawing such as drawing a horizon line and a vanishing point. Everyone worked as a team and executed ideas well.

This lesson was very useful as it may help us with our art in High School. Another thing that is useful is knowing how to follow instructions because when you do things will turn out the way you expected, or BETTER! This is a skill for life that can be used when cooking, building lego, reading a map, building furniture from ikea among many other things.

Having completed our drawings we have developed our drawing skills, focusing on one point perspective. In addition to this we are now able to draw 2D and make it look 3D! An important thing we learned is to draw everyday objects such as trees and houses.

With regard to talking and listening skills, we had to remain focused when Mrs Senior was talking to ensure we would be successful. Finally, we used our creativity skills to add personal touches to our drawings.

Look out for a future post or tweet of our wall display!
