ILO:
GOAL:
LESSON SEQUENCE:
Show video
Review main points of video and
information covered last class
Explain final project: complete drawing
done in one point perspective including a
minimum of three buildings
Begin by observing the shape of simple
buildings in the photocopied image from
last day
Trace edges of buildings using a ruler and
colour fronts a different colour than the
sides facing the viewer
Hand out white paper
Give step-by-step instructions
[demonstrate on board] for drawing a cube
MATERIALS:
paper
pencils
photographs of buildings
computer logged onto the Internet
LESSON SEQUENCE:
DATE:
Set: Remind students what their
assignment is: Complete a one point
perspective drawing that includes a
minimum of three buildings. The drawing
must be appropriately detailed and coloured
(including the buildings' surroundings).
Students work from their cubes and
rectangles drawn last day or start a new
composition
Students decide on what type of buildings
they want to draw and the landscape that
will surround them
[IN PENCIL] Students use working lines
to add details such as roofs, doors,
windows, steps, patios etc. to define and
detail their buildings
Use photographs of real buildings to
check scale (i.e. how big is the door in
relation to the rest of the building?)
Erase working lines
***Throughout the lesson, students will go
to the computer in pairs to investigate an
Interactive website that focuses on
perspective. The website will be
bookmarked for easy access:
GOAL: Students
should
put
their
buildings
into
context
by
surrounding
them
with
appropriate objects, landscape,
and colour. Students are expected
to fill in the whole page making
sure that all features are drawn
according to the principles of
perspective. Students should
study photographs and other
images of landscapes to do this.

LESSON SEQUENCE:
Set: Take a trip outside to record
observations of how objects appear up close
compared to far away. Have students fill in
a T-chart of near vs. far.
Return to classroom and review what was
observed outside
Give handout of terms used to describe
the observations (principles of
perspective) and go through each one:
