Lesson 1-B

There is no way for me to know if any of this is useful...except for the great video sent from a student yesterday....but I guess, no surprise to me, I love teaching art.
Doing this makes me feel normal.

Well with school being closed for awhile longer - I wonder if we teachers will be directed to provide online learning - so the technology part no doubt, will be improving on this end.

In the meantime.
Be inspired by this:
2 assignments/options- 
CALLING ALL 5th graders - for the "perspective drawing of your room" - keep reading below



Lets look at Vincent Van Gogh's  painting of his room.
How can you:

• Use it as a guide and make it out of legos?
• Use it as a guide and draw it with markers
• Use it as a guide and make a 3-D model with paper (3rd graders remember your paper sculpture skills from last fall) - printer paper and tape, crease long paper for strength, roll paper into little straws for strength 
• Use your play pieces - Barbie -other figures, washcloth, stuff to make a model (I really want a picture of this set up)
• Other creative ideas  

Okay - 5th Graders - especially for you. Draw your room! 
OR draw Van Gogh's room using 1-point perspective. (of course-anyone else is welcome to try, and you may surprise yourself)
If you don't have a ruler - use the straight edge of a book - OR just free-hand draw. It's okay.

Here are 2 refresher tutorials to get you started.
You might want to do BOTH as practice, then take the skills you learned and APPLY them to drawing your own room.

this one is a bedroom with bed to one side like Van Gogh 

Extra credit - try drawing the kitchen! 

Get busy - this will take awhile - but should be quite fun!
