● First, you will need four pieces of paper for
each student. You can use all one color, but I
prefer to use 3 different colors.
● Next, line up the papers so that they overlap,
with a small “tab” left for each color.
● Then fold the paper over so that you get eight
tabs in all, and staple the top to make it into a
book.
● You can decide how to label each section.
You can use more than one flap for a section
● Just be sure to label it before you turn it in to
be checked at the end of the class today.

Techniques:
● Perspective: perspective is drawing or painting a picture that it looks like there
are three dimensions. It gives the illusion that some objects in the painting are
further away than others.
● Balance and Proportion: Drawing subjects that are the correct size when
compared to each other.
● Use of Light and Dark: Many artists starting using light and shadows in their
works to add drama, perspective, and timing to their art.
● Sfumato: This was used to add additional perspective and dimension to
paintings. It was a way of blurring the lines between subjects and was used in
Leonardo's Mona Lisa.
● Foreshortening - Another way to add perspective and depth to paintings,
foreshortening is a way of shortening lines to give the illusion of depth.

slide the left foot back and bend both knees to bow to the other dancer.
