 The students in Mrs. Phares and Mrs. OrRico's classes are beginning to learn about 1-point perspective.  Creating lines that gradually unite at a single point on a horizon adds depth to artwork.  The students have been experimenting with this concept as they try to make letters seem 3-D.  Roy Lichtenstein created colorful pop-art paintings in the 1960s that my students have always loved to learn about.  The comic book style of his work is something they really like to try to use in their own artwork.  In this project, the students combined 1-point perspective with pop art.  They chose an onomatopoeia similar to the ones in some of Lichtenstein's works and used perspective to bring the sound words to life.  They added details to match their chosen word.  I included a few great examples of successful project from the classes.
