This was a lesson in one point perspective, mirror images, and watercolor washes. After an introductory lesson in one point perspective, students in Grade 5 drew the Taj Mahal from a poster. Since the architecture is symmetric, students learned how to create a mirror image using a tracing technique. Watercolor washes were applied prior to finishing off the piece in black fine line marker.
