Hello!! This is my second year teaching, and this is the first time I have taught foreshortening. It can be a tough concept to understand, but these fourth grade artists seemed to have gotten the hang of it!
I showed them examples of foreshortening with images of superheroes - Superman, Iron man, Anime sketches, etc. They really seemed to like it! I explained how foreshortening happens in an artwork and in real life - students looked at their friend's outstretched arms, and described what they saw.
I asked them to describe foreshortening at the beginning of every class with this project, just to ensure they understood the concept. We worked with colored pencils, learning to control value and shading. They came out wonderfully!!
Students also had to decide what they were falling back into - they range from outer space to chocolate and marshmallows!
Thank you for visiting!
