Troubles of Invitation
Brittany Taylor was having difficulty in Art. She liked drawing in art, but she always had difficulty drawing three dimensional pictures. She sighed and tried to draw a cube again. She did it again! It was all wonky! “Ms. Defoe!”
The teacher came over. “Having trouble?” she asked.
“Yes! I can’t seem to get the cube right!”
Defoe looked at Brittany’s work so far. “Have you heard of single point perspective?”
“Um… Maybe?” Brittany responded.
The teacher sighed. “Try to imagine a point somewhere.”
“Um, sure,” Brittany said. She chose a spot above the paper.
“Now use that as a point to draw the edges of the cube towards.”
“OK,” Brittany said.
“I’ll come back later and see how you do.”
It took Brittany most of the class time to figure it out. Defoe returned and saw her work. “You did well!”
“Thanks.”
