What's on the shelf?

6th grade students embarked on transforming 2-D drawings into having the illusion of depth. Students turned a 12"x12" paper into four shelves using perspective, crosshatching and variance of value.  As a final touch, they collaged in an abstract display of characters and activity inside each of the boxes.  The lessons took time, however, the students persevered and it paid off!

Students working hard on crosshatching their 4 squares.



Finding the perfect pictures to fill their boxes



You need A LOT of magazines for this project.  Preferably all different kinds from sports to cooking so students can find a large variety of pictures to choose from.
