Make A Scene
Make a Scene is an illustration project centered on translating three-dimensional space into a two-dimensional format. Working within the constraints of a 5 × 7 postcard, students selected a meaningful or memorable scene and used principles of perspective to construct depth and spatial clarity. The project introduced one-point, two-point, and three-point perspective, breaking these systems down into approachable, repeatable methods that allowed students to map scenes using vanishing points and leading lines rather than intuition alone.
In addition to perspective, students developed cohesive color palettes and used color strategically to emphasize focal points and guide the viewer’s eye. The project concluded with a simple animated element within each scene, produced as a looping GIF. This final step introduced motion as an extension of illustration, encouraging students to think about how small, intentional movement can bring complex scenes to life.
