With one eye closed, we measured by spreading our fingers to pinch the top and the bottom of shapes. Do you have to adjust your fingers between close up and far away? We first practiced with each other, noticing how the head of a person close to me barely fits between my fingers, while a head across the room fits easily.Thursday, January 22, 2009

Hi Katrine,
How about shape collage? It lends itself to teaching background and foreground because shapes of diminishing size suggest perspective and the picture plane is flexible. Pictures can be arranged and rearranged until the problem is satisfied. It is also a good setting for a story.
We'd need black felt or burlap background fabric, and a variety of coloured felt and other fabrics for cutting. Good cutting scissors and some volunteers to precut a variety of natural and geometric shapes of all sizes and colours. But 1. avoid fabric prints, 2. avoid cutting shapes that are also symbols like a heart or cloud, flower etc.
