Backwards Design Lesson Plan

Designer: Yohan Yoon Term/Cadre: Spring II / Cadre 18

Subject Area: Art Title: Linear Perspectives

Stage 1 – Desired Results

Established Goals:
1.0 Artistic Perception – processing, analyzing, and responding to sensory information through the language
and skills unique to the visual arts.
2.0 Creative Expression – creating, performing, and participating in the visual arts.

Understandings: Essential Questions:

Students will understand that: How can you draw/paint something that looks like
The illusion of 3-dimensional space in drawing/ painting. 3-D?
The ways to create the illusion of 3-D in drawing/
painting through linear perspectives.

Students will know: Students will be able to:

… how three different linear perspectives works.
… how to create the simulation of three different linear perspectives.

Stage 2 – Assessment Evidence

Performance Tasks: Other Evidence:
3 linear perspectives drawings. Vocab. Quiz
Linear Perspective Project. Informal Assessment (individual discussion)
Self-Evaluation (writing)

Stage 3 – Learning Plan

Learning Activities:

W = Previous lesson should be about “shading” – what gives the drawing a form (3-D). Introduce this
lesson as the follow up on creating an “illusion” of 3-D on a flat (2-D) surface.
H = Presents pictures that show different linear perspectives… get some pictures from the school site.
E = Each of the linear perspectives will be “demonstrated” and students will have to “recreate” them.
R = The project will be given where students have to create an original drawing using the linear
perspectives.
E = Informal discussions and “help” are given throughout the project, and a self-evaluation needs to be
turned in with the project.
T = Students have pretty good flexibility in creating their own work as long as the main goal is being met.
O = Some samples as well as the students’ own works will be displayed – sometimes an informal small-
group discussion is engaged.
