5th graders have been working with the art element of space. They are using a very tricky technique called one point linear perspective to create the illusion of depth on a 2-dimensional paper. This is how it works:
Students practiced this technique in their linear perspective sketch books.
Once we were comfortable with this new skill, we used it in a "How I Got to School Today" art project. Students brainstormed a funny, creative idea about how they got to school. Some of the shapes in the sketches use linear perspective.
After a lot of brainstorming, students decided on ideas to enlarge on white drawing paper. We used sharpies, colored pencils, and crayons to finish the artworks.

Towards the end of the unit, students participated in a group critique activity. Students moved about the room and left helpful comments about eachother's art. Every student recieved a lot of compliments, and also some ideas about how to make their art even better. Critiques make us better artists!!
