Additional resources for the lesson

Vocabulary words:

Perspective:
Perspective in art usually refers to the representation of three-dimensional objects or spaces in two dimensional artworks. Artists use perspective techniques to create a realistic impression of depth, 'play with' perspective to present dramatic or disorientating images.
Blending:
The transition of color from one tone to another; for example, in a sky.
Palette: 
A tray or board on which colors of paint are mixed. Also, the set of colors used by an artist in a painting.
Stippling:
A drawing technique in which areas of light and shadow are created using nothing but dots. The basic idea is simple: For darker areas, you apply a greater number of dots and keep them close together
Texture:
The way something feels to the touch. Texture can be real, as in the smoothness of a bronze sculpture, or the bumpiness of thick oil paint on a canvas. Texture can also be implied or imagined, as in painted illusions of the softness of a kitten's fur, or the prickly quality of hay.
