Perspective Drawing with Scale Factors
by Karen Larsen
This lesson plan involves dilation and scale factors and how the human eye perceives 3D when it only uses 2D images. The hand-on activity is a perspective drawing of a city scape and teaches about vanishing point and horizon lines as mathematical concepts of dilation.
