Vanishing Points...

I know, I'm not what you think of when you think "Del Rosario Art Teacher", yet here I was this week teaching my first art lesson! Fernando has been extremely busy at work and so, with his guidance, I planned art based on Raphael and his depth of field.

We read a book about the history of Raphael's life and work. We looked at his art for the depth vs. that of other artists in his time. Then, I found this great video (Thanks Pinterest!) about depth and vanishing points. It was a step-by-step art lesson using a vanishing point, inspired by the Carlsbad Flower Fields, which we've actually been to! We used oil pastels. It was a great lesson and very fun! And, may even inspire me to try again (although I hope Fernando can keep working with the kids too!)
