First graders learn perspective

First graders learned a few tricks about how artists show near and far in a picture. We looked at artworks by real famous artists. We saw the tricks they used in their paintings. Things are drawn smaller the farther away they are. We draw  objects higher on the page to show they are farther away. Using this knowledge, they drew 3 houses with oil pastel. Each house gets farther away. Then we painted with liquid water colors. Thanks to deep space sparkle for the inspiration!
