7th grade with Mrs. Davis





How do we make things look real? We must become Masters of Illusion with our art. The Renaissance artists discovered some of the tricks that we still use today. By using one point perspective, overlapping and atmospheric perspective we can create images with great illusion of depth. Students are examining these art tricks and applying them to lettering, landscapes and indoor scenes.

Choosing to use perspective, or to ignore it, greatly effects your artwork. Which do you like and why? Does all art need to look real or have depth?
