One-point perspective is always a challenge with fifth grade, so I leave it for the end of the year. Although, perspective happens to be something I love to teach! We do a lot of it together, step by step and we talk a lot about the connections to math. This year we ran into all the events happening at the end of the year so they were rushed with their details They used rulers and sharpies for the lines and they had a choice of mediums for the color. They were able to use markers with water or watercolor crayons. To begin the project we looked at renaissance art to discuss perspective and then they looked at a variety of photographs from places like Venice, New England and Mexico. I chose those places for variety and color. A majority of my students are Hispanic and love to look at the architecture in Mexico. The students make great connections as well. Some even recognize some of the towns in my PowerPoint so we can have great discussions!
