There’s an artist in all of us. Unfortunately, by age ten the excitement for coloring and drawing pictures diminishes, you became frustrated and gave up. Our left brain, the one that does all the stuff at school, begins to dominate everything we do. The problem is that right brain, the one that is “right” for drawing has given way to the left, and the left brain isn’t any good at drawing.

The goal of the following drawing lessons is to give the right brain an chance to emerge. To develop a “shift” in thinking, from the left brain to the right. To let the left brain know that its time is over, and begin draw in a way you never have before.

We’ve just added three art lesson plans on perspective drawing.

Perspective Drawing
The first lesson begins with bigger/smaller aspect of objects when we consider them in perspective. The first big idea about all perspective drawing that’s introduced is:

If it’s close, it’s bigger. If it’s far away, it’s smaller.

Lessons two and three introduce one-point and two-point perspective.

Lesson 1: Bigger and Smaller
Lesson 2: One-Point Perspective
Lesson 3: Two-Point Perspective
