Year 4 Art Lesson on Perspective
In the 15th century, a man from Florence, Italy, discovered perspective in drawing and painting. His name was called Filippo Bruneleschi. Perspective is what makes drawings (especially of roads and rivers, cities and countryside) look like they have depth. It was thanks to Bruneleschi that art was no longer seen as simply creative or handiwork. It got the status of being intellectual, too. It takes a critical, analytical eye to figure out how to draw depth on a 2D piece of paper! Even the teacher of this lesson had challenges.
