Students are shown examples of Linear Perspective in real life. The concept of the Horizon Line is discussed with computer generated images. Space Indicators and principles of perspective are discussed and illustrated on the board with drawings done by the teacher. Students follow along drawing, on their paper, what the teacher draws on the board.
A handout is then given with different shapes on it. Students either cut out or trace the shapes and arrange them so that the principles of perspective and space indicators are illustrated (larger shapes appear closer while smaller shapes appear farther away). Overlapping is emphasized as well
The book, Zoom, by Istav Banyai is also used in class as an example of how things that are farther away appear smaller.
A finished example is shown below.
