Overall Goal of Lesson: Using various colors of paper to create a composition showing atmospheric
perspective and color theory
Instructional Objectives: By the end of the lesson students will know what atmospheric perspective
is along with color theory and will be able to identify: primary colors, secondary colors and
tertiary colors.
Texas Essential Knowledge & Skills (TEKS)
Key Vocabulary: Atmospheric Perspective,
Foreground, Middleground, Background,

student develops and organizes ideas from the
environment. Student is expected to illustrate ideas for
artworks from direct observation, experiences and
imagination; and compare and contrast the use of art
elements (color, texture, form, line, space, value) and
art principles (emphasis, pattern, rhythm, balance,
proportion, unity) in personal artworks and those of
others, using vocabulary accurately.
2. Creative expression performance. The student
expresses ideas through original artworks, using a
different form of medium with appropriate skill. A.
Create visual solutions by elaborating on direct
observation, experiences and imagination. C.
Demonstrate effective use of art media and tools in
design.
Higher Order Questions: What is an example of atmospheric perspective? Where can you find warm
colors? Where can you find cool colors? Who is one of the artists whose work was shown in the
power point as an example?
Student Activities: (Keep in mind the following: Scaffolding, Independent or Cooperative activities, Groupings, Reading,
Writing, Listening, Hands-On/Minds-On, Connections to previous knowledge, etc)

Students will listen carefully to an introductory lesson and then complete an exercise worksheet
before starting on their composition.

Anticipatory Activity for Lesson: Introductory power
Make sure students are prepared for the point presentation/lesson.
new activity and understand the steps
that need to be done. Have visuals and
models/examples. Visit with ESL student
and double check that everything is
understood and that he/she has no
confusions.
Time Allotted
Teacher Input/Lesson Activity:
7 days
-Students will view a power point presentation and be introduced to atmospheric
perspective and color theory.
-Next the students will take an image of a landscape that they want to use for their
drawing and final composition.
-After, the students will sketch the landscape on newsprint and when done will transfer
it onto poster board.
-Finally the students will choose a color scheme and gather the construction paper
needed and will complete their composition by tearing piecing and gluing them all into
their drawing to make their landscape.

Modeling: Having an example and going through each step one at a time so students see
the same exact thing they will be doing and have a visual to use as reference later on.
Guided Practice: Students will begin sketching their composition and have help offered
at all times for any trouble they have.
Independent Practice: Students will complete their own composition about atmospheric
perspective
Lesson Closure: Students will discuss their work and progress.
Assessment Methods/Strategies: The students will discuss as a class their final piece and
give feedback on the whole lesson in itself and finally they will turn in their final
composition for a grade
Resources (supplies, equipment, software, etc.):
Poster board, construction paper (various colors), newsprint, pencils, erasers, glue, image print.
Reflection: A fun hands on activity to help fully comprehend atmospheric perspective.
