Student Teaching Elementary

5th Grade
Description: For this lesson, students learned about space, depth, and perspective by examining tunnel books created by artist and high schoolers who I also did this lesson with. The students planned their project with their foreground, middle ground, and background page, then constructed a full size tunnel book.
​
Rationale: Students learned about space, depth, and perspective, and learned some aspects of an environment such as foreground, middle ground, and background.
