This is a fun project for kids who haven't done perspective before. We start off by re-visiting what a horizon line is and then add in the vanishing point what what that does in a picture. Students look at various pictures and point out where the horizon line is and where the vanishing point is. We then drew out our own landscapes using a horizon line, vanishing point, and placing 5 rows going back to the vanishing point wherever they liked on their paper.
We then turned those rows into a fall harvest with pumpkins, corn, apple trees, squash, and anything else we could think of! The students could add animals, houses, trees, anything they wanted to to fill up the extra space in their picture.
