Forced perspective is a technique that allows an artist to create illusions of size within the frame of a camera lens. Fifth graders came to this project off the back of having worked with single point perspective drawing techniques. They were able to use that understanding of how objects look smaller when they are further in the distance to play with their shots. They made size comparisons between objects and people.
