This week, Little Ashcan is learning perspective!
There are multiple ways perspective is used in art; however, the most common is linear perspective: which gives the illusion of three dimensions on a two-dimensional surface, like a piece of paper. We are introducing our youngest students to perspective using the elements of overlap and size. By using simple three-dimensional shapes like a cube, cylinder, and a sphere, our instructor is showing them techniques that use overlap to create the illusion that certain faces are closer than others.
For this upcoming and final week, we’ll see what Little Ashcan will do with this new found information! Don’t forget to sign up for our next session beginning January 9th, 2023!
