Cardboard Everyday Objects!

After introducing my 7th grade art students to British Artist, Chris Gilmour, I challenged them to create everyday objects using cardboard. The students were stumped at first, but once they got the hang of it, they ran with the project, adding details to their objects that I was not expecting. I am so proud of my students!

Perspective Playtime


Objective: Students will demonstrate their understanding of two-point perspective by drawing a variety of toys in perspective. 

JMS 7th grade art students spent three classes learning the basics of perspective drawing.  
Then they spent three classes creating an original composition in pencil that demonstrated correct perspective, overlapping forms, and creative use of toys.  

The students were assessed on the technical accuracy of their perspective drawing, the creative interpretation of the theme, and level of artistry. 

Lesson adapted from Mary Coy, art teacher at Spry Middle School in Webster, New York, and SchoolArts editorial advisory board member.
