Kindergarten aerial perspectives - lesson and terminology

Students reviewed "horizon line" from their previous assignment, and added "foreground", "middle ground", and "background" to their terminology. Students demonstrated knowledge of aerial perspective by lightening the "hue" to "tint" by adding white and placing smallest objects closest to the horizon line to create the illusion of depth. AND... they're adorable.

Kindergarten's 1st assignment!

First we learned about "horizon line" "vanishing point" and the idea that objects appear smaller when further away. Then we applied it to our farm drawings! These were a mixed media, a crayon water color resist. Here are some of the first completed works!
