Concepts: size and overlapping contribute to the illusion of depth in a drawing

Materials:

• Aquatic fish Foods worksheet #A-1a
• 11" x 17" paper
• pencil
• felts and pencil crayons

1. lightly draw in a rainbow in the background. Don't colour yet
2. Use the "Aquatic fish Foods worksheet #A-1a " as a drawing guide (and/or tracer depending on teacher preference) Place the dragonflies on the paper so the larger ones are up front and the smaller ones are more distant. Overlap in a way that has the closer ones overlapping the further distant ones.
3. colour in the dragonflies
4. colour in the background including the rainbow.
