One-Point Perspective

Renaissance Artists like Leonardo and Raphael, who's work you see here, began using perspective to make their paintings look like they were 3-D.  Notice in The Last Supper and in School of Athens, which we discussed earlier this year how you can see the space within the room and beyond.  In this project, you will learn how artists create this illusion.  

The Last Supper by Leonardo DaVinci

School of Athens, by Raphael

To create this effect, we will practice using a vanishing point, a horizon line and aerial perspective.  Look at these examples by Prescott 4th graders, and then follow along in the video link to do your project.
