We took our lesson in One Point Perspective a little further and created themed rooms. Students used color pencils to add value and create depth through shading.

One-Point Perspective Names
One point perspective can be a challenge to teach. The vocabulary can be daunting, and interest soon fades. I found grid paper is a great way to help calm axieties of trying to draw a straight line. Also names are naturally engaging.
Paper Masks
Sixth Graders learned to create paper masks. Based on the video by Peggy Flores, students learned various paper techniques to create these amazing forms. Want to make your own mask, check out the planning sheet I have available.
Creative Color Wheels
After learning about how Sir. Isaac Newton created the color wheel, students set off to create their own.

Warm/Cool Color Scheme Parrots
Sixth graders studied cool and warm color schemes. We then used wet on wet watercolor technique to paint the background in either cool or warm colors then used a wet on dry technique to paint the bird using the opposite color scheme.
