    In the "Fantasy City Project", 8th graders use two-point-perspective to create the illusion of depth on a two-dimensional surface. After drafting basic geometric shapes, students incorporate imaginative themes to create a unique world of their own.

     

    Final sketches are outlined with fine-line marker, then finished with colored pencil and/or watercolors.
