I BROUGHT IN A CANE CHAIR AND WE PRACTICED DRAWING IT IN PERSPECTIVE. I SHOWED VAN GOGH CHAIR DRAWINGS AND WE TALKED ABOUT HIS STYLE AND SUBJECT MATTER. WE DID THE SAME WITH MATISSE. I BROUGHT IN VARIOUS PIECES OF CLOTH WITH BOLD PRINTS ON THEM AS WELL AS MATISSE IMAGES. WE TALKED ABOUT THE CONTRAST BETWEEN THESE TWO ARTISTS. COMBINING THEIR SENSIBILITIES AND THE PROBLEMS WITH PERSPECTIVE YIELDED SOME VERY INTERESTING RESULTS. THERE IS NO GETTING AROUND IT, THIS IS DIFFICULT FOR AN ELEMENTARY STUDENT. I HAVE ALSO FOUND THAT ADULTS STRUGGLE WITH PERSPECTIVE AS WELL.
