What is on the other side?


In 7th grade we study Surrealism and Perspective and how they work together to create a imaginary work of art that is based in reality.   This lesson shows us how perspective can help show distance.  The keyhole is in the foreground (very close to us) what's on the other side is further away in the background, everything else is the middle-ground.  Some ways we can show distance is by drawing things smaller when the are farther away, fade colors in the distance, draw a horizon line, and if you have a road or river as it moves away from you have it get smaller and smaller until it vanishes.  Take a look at the examples below and try this lesson on your own.  

Steps you can take:
  1. Look for images of antique key-holes as a reference
  2. What do you want to draw on the other side?  Fantasy? Or realistic?
  3. Have fun! Draw what you want to.  It's your art you can choose.
