One-Point Perspective Memory Room Drawings

  Hello! Here is a lesson I thought was pretty successful I did with my middle school students in a unit themed around time and memories. In that unit, we studied folk art, Grandma Moses and Clementine Hunter. This assignment was to illustrate a three-dimensional-looking room that is inspired by one or multiple memories using one point perspective. For example, I did a room with a checkered floor, giant chess pieces, a grand piano, and other decorations inspired by books that influenced me and the memory of my first piano. I walked students very carefully step-by-step through the process of using a ruler to make an X, then a square in the center using those lines, then demonstrated how everything follows the grid lines, getting larger near the viewer but higher and smaller in back. Here are student examples: 












I hope you find this lesson idea helpful!

A Tour of My Art Classroom Throughout 2021

 Hello, today I'd like to share some photos of my art classroom (used for middle school). I may not have mentioned it on the blog, but last fall I was hired as an art and drama teacher for grades K-12. These photos are from three different periods my first semester: my original decorations at the beginning of the semester, fall decorations, and Christmas decorations (they may be slightly out of order). I hope you enjoy the tour! 





















Thank you for visiting, I have more to share with you (hopefully soon)!
