| Perspective in Art: A WebQuest Process:
Now that we have experimented with the techniques of drawing in
Perspective we will go on a virtual tour of international museum
websites in search of works of art that demonstrate the various
concepts and rules of Perspective that we discussed during our
PowerPoint presentation.
1. First we will review our Introduction
to Perspective PowerPoint
presentation. This is the time to ask any questions that may have
come to mind during your drawing session.
2. Next you will team up in pairs and begin a web search for works
of art that demonstrate the different methods of creating perspective:
i.e. overlap, color and value change, size and space variation,
modeling, detail and edges, converging lines, vanishing point and
eye level.
3. Use the "Art From
Around the World" link created for this lesson to find
Art Museums and educational sites
that can hook you up with additional museum and artist websites
links. Have fun, search safe and don't forget to try out some of
the 'uber' cool virtual tours.
4. Find an example you like that speaks to each of the different
methods of creating perspective in a painting and save the image
to your desktop.
5. Document your selections with the artist name, painting size,
year painted and any other information you can gather as to the
period in art, information about the artist approach to color and
painting or simply information you find interesting about the artist
and their work. Don’t forget to include the website title
and URL address of where you found your selection!
6. In the next Activity you will add your selection to a class
PowerPoint presentation where you will present your selections
to the class, sharing the artist information and a critique of
how the artist uses different techniques to create perspective
in their work.
