Sketch Up in Visual Arts

In 8th grade Visual Arts, students discovered a fun way to integrate technology into the arts. The unit studied was the Renaissance and we focused on the discovery of one point perspective. Once students understood the importance of this discovery and how to achieve one point perspective they had to apply their knowledge in two ways. The first way was by drawing their own bedroom in one point perspective. They had to use the basic pencil, paper and ruler technique. The second way was learning how to use a computer program called Sketch Up, which allowed the student to draw their room again, not only in one point perspective but three dimensionally as well!
You can see some of the hand drawings as well as the digital drawings above.
Well done Visual Arts students!
