4th grade Surreal Rooms

Fourth graders began this assignment by learning about 1-point perspective - a trick artists use to make the viewer feel as though they could walk into the space. After forming a simple room using a vanishing point, the creativity was unleashed!! The kids had a great time coming up with the details of their room. The final step was learning about and adding a bit of surrealim to the mix - students cut pictures from magazines to add to their compositions as they saw fit. I really like the juxtaposition of the technical perspective drawing with the dreamy surrealism in this assignment.....and the kids feel very accomplished with this one!
