Point of perspective

I read a sentence from a story and asked the Club House Artists how would they illustrate the story. We talked about what angle to draw our illustration according to the words in the sentence. Here's the story:

"Flynn look up at the tall tower where Rapunzel was waiting."

 

 

As you can see the Club House Artists drew the tower from the perspective of Flynn looking up at the tower. They made sure that you could see underneath the tower structure instead of from above.

Our second drawing the Club House Artists picked. Since they were studying about the Presidents for President's Day, they all wanted to draw Abe Lincoln. They were able to tell me all kinds of facts about the president and even details about his letters he would hide in his hat. So we decided to focus on his tall hat as if it were in a museum for all to see and as a reminder of his letters he drew a letter on the outside of his hat. It's always interesting to see what they come up with for our drawings each week. Sometimes I have ideas on what we might draw and other times it starts with a sentence and goes from there.
