Project: Perspective
Digital tool Project: Perspective is an educational game made to improve perspective drawing skills and assist in the understanding of 3D for teachers of art, drawing, design, and architecture. The application consists of 3 chapters - horizon, one-point perspective and two-point perspective. All chapters have short introductory animations to assist in exercises for learners at multiple difficulty levels. Game tasks provide the opportunity for the player to construct different shapes in 3D and understand how the laws of perspective comply in nature.
Learners' performance is valued at precision.
Students can work on assignments individually or compete in a group/ class. The teacher can easily issue assignments for the group using generated code and integrate the results into the total evaluation system of curricula. It is made for primary and secondary level students and students with special education needs at any level.
The application is available for android only.

What do teachers say about Project: Perspective?
Andris. Art and design teacher.
“ What makes it interesting is that we can apply Project: Perspective to multiple devices, so in class, I prefer to use a smartboard and encourage the active participation of students while keeping some tasks as an individual work at home or on the way, where they can use their smartphones and tablets. In fact, even parents find it quite intriguing to rewind their art skills in a participatory manner with kids. ”
