This lessons is packed with the elements of art. We will be working with five out of seven elements (line, shape, color, space, value). Lines will be used to create shapes (circle, rectangle), space will be represented by foreground, middle and background, we will use color and value to further show perspective. Perspective is the drawing of solid objects on a two dimensional surface and gives the impression of height, width and depth.
We will be drawing a well with an object trapped at the bottom. What got dropped/fell down your well? A frog, mouse, kitten, baseball, food wrapper... Students will start with a circle in one of the upper corners. We will use curved lines and vary the size and spacing to show perspective. I traced my bricks in marker.
Objects will be drawn around the top of the well. These get drawn lightly to show distance. The bricks will be colored in using value: dark to light. This will help add the illusion of depth.
