Students at Plainwell High School worked collaboratively in their Intro to Art class to produce a tape mural showing perspective. They first learned about one point perspective and worked with a partner to develop a design. They then selected a space on the wall and used painters tape to draw their design. These art pieces are temporary installations that will be on display throughout PHS for several weeks.
