Aerial perspective is a technique that artists often use in painting to give the illusion of space on a 2-dimensional surface (such as a canvas or paper). The six graders' used techniques such as size, perspective, overlapping and color to help make their aerial perspective landscapes appear to have depth. To pull some art history into the lesson, we talked about Vincent Van Gogh, the well celebrated Post-Impressionist artist. The students were permitted to use either oil pastel or chalk pastel on this project and finished their artworks in the 'style' of Van Gogh by using gestural swirls and dynamic lines to show movement.
