Instruction

Anticipatory (10 min prior to 2:00pm start time)

Set (5min) (CM) LiveLesson room will open 10 minutes before class. Students will be provided a nearpod link.
Students will be instructed to sign in nearpod with their first and last name and to begin the “question
of the day” activity. Focus Mode will be activated upon entry.
 Question of the day: “What do these Paintings have in common?”
Teacher will show students a series of artworks on a nearpod. Students
will answer the question.

(2:00 Start Time)

(CM) Students will be asked to raise their hand using the Zoom tool to participate on the microphone.

Teacher will open conversation, by asking the following question:

“What do these Paintings have in common?”

Reason For lesson:

“These artists have been able to successfully create the illusion of depth in
their artwork.

“There are many ways we can create the illusion of depth in our artwork.
Today we will be learning about Linear Perspective, and we will be
creating a one-point perspective drawing together”

(CM) Before moving on to direct instruction, the teacher will review live lesson expectations, lesson
objectives, agenda , and lessons for the week.

Direct Before we begin, let's review…

Instruction (EL-FS1) Throughout the lesson the teacher will model pronunciation of key words, provide definitions
and visual examples.
(15 min)
(IEP-FS2) During live lessons students will have access to closed captions. Captions will also be sent
via WebMail after the lesson. Teacher will make sure to give students enough time to write /respond in
nearpod activities. Student may provide bullet point response.

(PM) Throughout the lesson the teacher will monitor understanding through responses provided in the
chat and Nearpod. Teacher will provide clarification if needed.

Teacher will ask the following question: What are the seven elements of
art?

Students will respond on nearpod slide-open-ended question.

The elements of art include: Line, shape, form, space, texture, color, value.
Remember these are the basic ingredients for artists to make their work.

(Lecture)
Today we will be focusing on the element of space.
Perspective Drawing: Showing Space in Art!
● During the Renaissance (1450 -1600) artists became interested in
making two-dimensional artwork look three-dimensional.
● Many of the earlier works created showed little depth or space.

Teacher will ask the following questions:

 ● Does this picture reflect depth? Why or why?
● How could this picture be changed to increase its depth?

(CM) Students will be asked to raise their hand using the Zoom tool to participate on the microphone.
Students will respond on nearpod slide-open-ended question.
Possible responses:
● The image is flat or two-dimensional.
● The artist could add a background or foreground.
● The size of objects surrounding the animal can be changed,
for example adding objects that are smaller and out into the
distance.

● Artists used mathematics and close observation to invent linear

perspective.
● Linear perspective allows artists to trick the eye into seeing
depth/space on a flat surface.

Linear perspective: Objects that are closer appear larger, more

distant objects appear smaller.

Vanishing point: The single point on the horizon where all the lines
on the ground level seemed to come together.

Horizon line: The place where the land and the sky meet.

Orthogonal line: Lines that connect to the vanishing point.

Check for Understanding

On the next slide, use a drawing tool to identify the horizon line, and
vanishing point in the pictures. Students will respond on nearpod slide-
Drawing Board
 Unit 3 Lesson 7: It’s all about perspective Portfolio
● Create a fantasy city using a one-point perspective.
● Sketch out lightly in pencil first.
● Add forms and details to create your city.
● Color/your city or just use pencil shading.

Portfolio review LiveLesson Monday 10/13!

Let’s Practice Drawing Using Perspective

(FS1/FS2) Perspective worksheet will be provided to student prior to live.
Guided
Practice (Gifted/Talented-FS3) Perspective worksheet will be provided to student prior to live. Students will be
(20 min) provided more advanced examples in steps such as adding detail and additional buildings to the
drawing. Student will also be referred to “adding detail” video on the Message Board.

(PM) Students will be asked to share their art work through their webcam. Focus Mode will also end so
students can see their peers work.

Review Materials Slide

(CM) Teacher will give students 2 minutes to set up.
“Class, let’s go ahead and take out a pencil, a ruler, and a sheet of paper.
We are going to draw a city using one-point perspective ”

*Tell students construction lines need to be light, because they will be

erased once the drawing is completed.

One-Point Perspective- City

Drawing the Street:
1. Make sure your paper is horizontal. Draw the horizon line
towards the top of your paper.
2. Draw a small dot to represent the vanishing point. (Label VP for
vanishing point)
3. Draw two orthogonal lines. This is the street. Make sure they
connect to the vanishing point. Draw lightly, so you can erase.
4. Draw two more orthogonal lines. This is a sidewalk.
5. Draw a dotted orthogonal line.
Drawing the building
6. Draw a rectangle. This is one of the faces of the building. Make
sure one of the bottom corners touches as a sidewalk.
7. Connect the corners of the rectangle to the vanishing point.
These orthogonal lines, connecting to the vanishing point.
8. Now make one vertical line and one horizontal line to make it
look 3D (back of building)
Draw the second building
9. Draw one more vertical line and one more horizontal line, directly
behind the front of the building. (Building 2)
10. Erase that little line, connecting the two buildings
(Repeat steps 9 and 10 to draw a couple more buildings)
Adding Details
11. Now we are going to make a door. Make an orthogonal line. You
don't have to draw it all the way to the vanishing point. Just make
sure your ruler is going to the vanishing point.
12. Draw vertical lines on each side to finish the door.
If there is enough time, Add Windows
 13. To make Windows on the first building, draw horizontal lines on
the face of the building that's shaped like a rectangle.
14. Now draw orthogonal lines from the previous lines he made.
15. Make a vertical line on the face of the building.
16. Erase the extra lines to make Windows.
Repeat steps for the other side of the street... You need at least two
buildings on both sides of your street.

Independent On Pearson Online Classroom students will be assigned the Unit 3 Lesson
Practice 7: It’s all about perspective Portfolio.

Directions: Students will draw a basic city using one-point perspective.

Their drawing should include:
● A road or street.
● There needs to be at least two buildings on each side of the road.
● All orthogonal lines need to converge back to the same vanishing
point.
● The buildings and any objects in the background need to appear
smaller than those in the foreground.
● There also needs to be a value change from the foreground to the
background.

Portfolio is due Thursday November 3, 2022 in the Dropbox located

in Unit 3 Lesson 7

Closure (5 min)

● Teacher will review what the students have learned (Learning Objectives)
● Teacher will remind students of portfolio review live lesson on Monday October 31st
● Exit Ticket on Nearpod:
○ “On the next slide, use the drawing tools to identify the horizon line, vanishing
point, and orthogonal lines”

(FS1/FS2/FS3) Follow up with students via WebMail, and one-on one appointment if needed. Students will also be provided
demo video to for extra practice
