They will learn about space using a one-point perspective to create the illusion of a 3D space on a 2D piece of paper. Contrast will also be discussed in order to use colors and patterns to make different parts of the artwork stand out. (Common Core Standards include: CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.6.1\, CCSS.ELA.Literacy.W.6.7\, and CCSS.Math.Content.6.G.A.3) \nThis workshop is for youth ages 10+ and adults.
