5th Grade- Perspective Cityscapes

This was a long lesson, but the students were very successful at creating a 3-D cityscape.
Day 1-
To begin, we started by discussing perspective, vanishing point, one-point perspective, and converging lines. I gave students a handout to practice on first. The students added details to the handout as well.



Day 2 and 3-
We started on our 12 x 18" paper. I had students draw a horizon line, a road that connected to the vanishing point, and 4-5 rectangles or squares on their paper. (it is easiest if the rectangles and squares pass through the horizon line). Students then made their buildings 3-D and added details to their picture including a background


Day 4-
Students traced over pencil lines with skinny Sharpie and colored in buildings and small details with crayon, colored pencils, or marker.


Day 5-
Students water colored the grass, sky, and road.
