After looking at and studying the examples of perspective strategies on the following web site, complete the following:

• Find and print a painting that is an example of one of the perspective strategies. Using Google, type in “perspective painting” or “perspective photograph” and click on “image”. You are not limited to these search tools, however, it might be a good place to start. If you choose a photograph, it must be color.
• Tape or Glue the painting to one page of your sketchbook and write the title, date, and artist of the painting.
• One the next page in your sketchbook, copy, not trace, as close as possible, the composition of the painting, being sure to follow the perspective strategy used.
• Using colored pencil, closely match the color scheme of your selected work of art. We understand your colors will not match exactly, but use laying to help achieve a variety of values.
• Pay close attention to detail in the composition and color scheme.
