Fifth graders just finished their one point perspective architectural drawing of Quest hallways and a 3-D pop out chair drawing based on Van Gogh chair painting (a symbolic portrait of Gaugain). They used their chromebooks or iPads to take photos of the hallway and then drew on top of the photos using Autodesk Pixlr to reveal the perspective with in the photo. They applied this knowledge when drafting the hallways on 18"x24" paper.
