1. Starting with a large sheet of drawing paper (I recommend 12" x 18") have each student draw many rings by tracing both sides of a masking tape roll. Some rings should overlap, and some should also go off the paper. This is repeated until the paper is full.
2. Looking at each pair of rings, the student has to choose which ring is in front, and then erase all the "see through" lines within that ring. This is continued until all the "see through" lines are gone.
3. A black marker is used to trace all the pencil lines.
4. Construction paper crayons were used in my sample, but any crayon will work fine.

2.3 Depict the illusion of depth (space) in a work of art, using overlapping shapes, relative size, and placement within the picture.

What are construction crayons?
Sorry - Construction paper crayons. Crayola makes them. I just like the different palette they offer.
Hi there. My children & I have been enjoying many of your art projects and I just wanted to say, thank you!

I just found your blog a few days ago and am really thrilled with all of the ideas you share! I teach art for our homeschool co-op and am alreay making a list of things I want to do with my class once we start meeting again in September. Thank you SO much for sharing!
I had no idea there were so many types of crayons. I like this technique and think it would be great done with different coloring medias also.
What a great (and simple!) way to teach overlapping and front/back relationships. Can't wait to try it!!! Thanks!
This is just perfect for my kids - they love trying out new ideas.
