Tagging onto David's great perspective towers project... here is a great resource for teaching perspective. Vanishing Point: Perspective for Comics From the Ground Up by Jason Cheeseman-Meyer breaks perspective principles down into clear, concise steps, walking through one-point, two-point, and three-point perspective techniques, including complex forms and figures in each. My absolute favorite - and the one that is sure to wow your students - is the four and five-point curvilinear perspective techniques, which create a wide angle view like the one on the book's cover.

Goodbye, old, boring perspective manual. ...Perspective drawing just got a lot funner!

Now, thanks to Street Art View, you can not only see museums from your classroom or living room, but street art from around the world! I'm pretty sure that someday soon Google will insure that I never need to step outside my home again. Hello Google Classroom View!

Why would you ever want to leave your art classroom again?

...and there is always music in the air.

No, you don't have one week to live, we've got a cool new material! For one of her independent projects in IB Art, Tin Tin decided that she wanted to make her own jewelry out of silver clay. This material works like polymer clay, but when you fire it (or torch it like we did) the clay body burns off and the infused metal particles left behind bind together. She ordered the material and read up on the process, and today we whipped out a mini torch and fired it. This was the first time we've used this material, and it was amazing to see it go from a dull beige to bright orange, and then for the silver to slowly materialize.
