This project is an introduction to drawing forms using the Two Point Perspective Technique.  Students are instructed to draw their own home using this technique, showing the front and side of the structure.  This drawing is achieved by placing two vanishing points on either side of the horizen line and having the sides of the form go to the points.  When the drawing is completed and corrected, students begin to color their home using watercolor washes.

This project is a continuation of the previous lesson in Two Point Perspective.  Students are instructed to design a realistic city or town in the style of Currier and Ives and Grandma Moses  They include several buildings with windows and doors and embelish their composition with different items, a sidewalk, trees and shrubs, street signs, etc to complete the drawing.  When the drawing is completed they color the composition with a drawing chalk background and colored pencils.
