Paper Bag Assignment- 2pt. perspective

Casey Gurganus 8th grade

Sabina Marian 8th grade

Stacie Mongold 10th grade

After introducing my Middle School and High School students to 2pt perspective, they were given the assignment to draw a paper bag while demonstrating 2 pt. perspective.

I provided the paper bag and they set it up on the work table themselves. Many of them took the bag home to complete, and many of them made the decision to add backgrounds and other objects to their drawings.

I was very pleased with the over drawings especially since many of the students are first time art students. I so look forward to seeing them grow as the school year progresses.

I used to teach elementary art before my last daughter was born, and I came across these pictures in a file on my computer. Oh the memories... The job was very demanding with all the prepartation time given to each class. I taught pre-school thru 5th grade. I do miss the rewards of teaching, but not sure if a large classroom setting is what I will do again. Private lessons may be the next step (if I teach again). Applause to all you teachers out there...you really do sacrifice alot of time and money for our children.
