During the last Art lesson of Term 2, Year 7 students were introduced to the element of space. 

To help recognise the role space plays in art, students experimented with forced perspective photography to create optical illusions. 

Students needed to communicate and work as a team to show 'smaller' students in the background and 'larger' students in the foreground. To achieve forced perspective, the Year 7s needed both the foreground and background to interact with each other in creative, and often humorous ways.

For their first assessment, Year 7 students are being introduced to all the elements of art, such as colour, line, shape, texture, tone, form and space, to draw their name in one-point perspective. We will then build our understanding of each element for the remainder of the semester.
