[teacherartexchange] teaching 2 point perspective- advice needed

---------

In your experiences, what has been the most successful approach to
teaching 2 point perspective?

I consider myself a novice teacher, after two years part time, this is
my first year "full time" (24hrs a week). I am teaching my eighth
graders perspective, many of them having little art experience, and
even though most of them are doing, well after a 1 point perspective
refresher and brief 2 point intro (I gave a handout with step by step
directions and walked through), I feel I am loosing some.

The assignment is to create a cityscape... now, in the future, along
the beach, whatever they can imagine. I want them to be jazzed! But I
think its a combination of lack of effort and creativity of the behalf
of students and poor teaching techniques from me. How would you
improve this situation?

Thank you as always!
