Shattered Perspective
Using the laws of perspective, students must create shapes that give the impression of being shattered pieces of glass. These pieces must have lines running to a vanishing point so that they appear to have a thickness and appear to be three-dimensional. Students recall prior knowledge of an introduction to perspective lesson taught earlier in the semester but now must apply it in a much more abstract manner. The project becomes unique to each student after they fill in the shapes using a theme of their choosing. They must be consistent with their subject matter choice and they must also include a background that compliments the subject.
