5th grade 1 point perspective rooms

For the past few weeks, 5th grade has been working on one of their last projects as 5th graders! (& it's taking for-ev-er btw...) They're doing a great job on this tricky skill though. Here's how we created them! 

& Sorry I haven't posted much here lately! April and May are super stressful around here! At least state testing is finally over!  I'm in the middle of art show prep and trying to get my evaluation portfolio complete. That means I'm mounting and labeling 28 classes worth of art, and each child has 1-3 pieces of art that will be on display! Whew, that's over 1,120 pieces of art! Shew! It'll be worth it though. These kids get so excited to show their art off, and the halls will be filled with color! 

Day 1: I did a pre assessment to see how these kids would draw a room, if they knew nothing about one point perspective, and the bottom example is usually what I saw. Flat, different points of view, and no one knew what one point perspective is. Which is fine! That's why we're here! Didn't they improve tremendously though??

After the pre-assessment, I gave them a new sheet, and we got to work. I led them through, step-by-step, demonstrating how to complete their rooms. Here's some of our 5th graders hard at work!

Day 2&3, we trace and color with colored pencils.
