This is a fantastic project that I did with my grade 5/6 class before March break. I wanted to do something with 2 point perspective, as we've done a lot of perspective work this year in class, and I came across these 2 point perspective treehouses on artsonia. Loved it, and had to do them with my kids!
To draw the base of the treehouse, I showed students how to draw a 2 point perspective box with a roof, making sure to match their angles so that the effect would work. If you have trouble wrapping your head around 2 point perspective, I outlined how I showed them, below:
Some students chose to draw traditional treehouses, some drew monster homes or haunted houses, and one opted for... carrots. The carrot house makes me laugh so much.
I love my student's creativity!
A great idea for perspective teaching. I imagine their ideas were coming think and fast. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI am so inspired by your perspective projects. Last time I taught one point I had so-so results. Maybe your tips will make the difference. Thanks for the two point graphic!
ReplyDeleteP.s. I did your marker painting technique with the kindergarten ears this week. They loved it!
omg how did I miss this post! These are AMAZING!! They are so imaginative! How do you come up with these things! We are doing your two point perspective names right now and the kids are loving it!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the suggestion - I haven't been too excited about past 2pt perspective lessons - This one is a winner, and will be so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to send thanks again. I used this idea with my year 5 class recently and one of my student's was selected for an art competition out of 120 students' across the grade. The creative freedom of these was so successful.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, big fan!
That was really fun also that was really cool at the end
ReplyDeleteso fun
ReplyDeleteI would like to do this with my 5/6th grade students. Too bad your website is 'not secure'. If I want to show my students examples, my school's program would block your site.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to doing these with my students. Pretty sure I'll have to skip over the one that has the word Satan on it with a person hanging from the tree. Not sure that would go over well at a Catholic school.

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the 2 point graphics, I've been wanting to do this with 6th grade for a while and couldn't wrap my mind around it. I can't wait to do this unit.
