6th graders  continue developing skills using one point perspective in their drawings. Students viewed demonstrations of the technique last week, learning the steps and rules necessary to transform a 2D surface into a 3D space. 
Most valuable rule, all vertical lines are drawn parallel to each other at 90 degree angles; otherwise the drawer finds that all of their objects are leaning to and fro.

Students who have completed a room with a minimum of 1 window, 1 door, and 2 pieces of furniture, moved onto 3D words using one-point perspective.
One parameter for this assignment is to "finish" the drawing, giving consideration to detail, line, and color. This mini exercise is meant to increase student focus for the prolonged drawing project beginning after Spring Break.
