This is the example of Vanishing Point art that I made as an example for the students when I taught the lesson during practicum. I made the example so the students would have a visual idea of what the project would look like when they were done. I also modeled the art on the chalk board for the students. We talked about vanishing points and 3-D shapes and did some visualizing before starting. I had the shapes drawn on the board before the lesson started. Then I showed them how to connect the sides/corners to the vanishing point. As I drew the lines on the board the students got really excited. They loved the effect that it created! I had a bunch of attribute blocks available for the students to trace. I thought that worked great, and for the students who wanted more challenge, they drew stars and similar object for which there was no tracer. I would definately do this art project again because the students loved it and the finished results were very attractive.

These looked really good at the art show. Did the kids enjoy this project and did they have any problems with the concept or completion of the task. I woud love to try this project with a class.
Thanks Meg! The kids loved doing the project. I started them out doing a visualization technique to see what happens when you are looking at things that are getting farther and farther away. This led into the vansihing point. I then talked about 3D shapes. Finally I drew a demonstration on the board using a few different shapes. This got them really excited as they saw the transformation. Every student was able to do the project with some requiring assistance (helping them use the ruler). I would definately recommend the project.
