We have two lessons today. One is a very quick lesson on Google Classroom using Google Slides. I have set up and assignment for you with written instructions and an online tutorial. Please access it through Google Classroom.
The other lesson is another using Scale, but this time also using lines to create a road that looks like it is extending into the distance. This is also known as using a Vanishing Point in our art work.
Let's start by making a Horizon Line, or the line where land meets sky:
Then let's pick a point on that line where our road will go to. I the Art Room we would all use a ruler to draw these lines, but I used the edge of my notebook. We should make two angled lines that create a triangle from the bottom of the page to our horizon line. You can experiment making your lines create a bigger "triangle" than I have, but don't make it narrower than mine.
At the bottom of your page, find the halfway point between the two straight lines you made. Make a very light line that goes from there to the top point of your triangle. At this point lets use Scale to make a dotted line that looks like it is going into the distance. Your rectangles should get smaller and become morel closely spaced as they go up your page:
I did a similar thing with telephone poles and cactus, remember to make these things a smaller scale as they get closer to the horizon line!
You don't have to make a desert, but I would like to see a road, runway or canal extending into the distance in your drawing as well as things with smaller scale closer to your horizon line. I can't wait to see your creative ideas!
Remember, you can share your work with everyone on our padlet:
