LESSON PLAN LESSON Time: Date: April 23rd, 2022

20 min
Instructor: Julie Lex Course: Practicum Unit: Graphics

Last Lesson: Class Introduction

THIS 1 point-perspective intro

LESSON:

Next Lesson: Flaming EG intro

SAFETY NOTES: Do not run with pencils

SUPPLIES /TOOLS: REFERENCES/RESOURCES:

Pencils (sharpened) Example box drawing
Rulers Dotted template
Erasers Projector or whiteboard
White paper Slides

LEARNING GOAL: To introduce 1 point-perspective. Students will learn to draw 3 boxes from
multiple perspectives.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

By the end of this lesson, students should be able to:

 Define and identify key terms such as parallel, perpendicular, vertical, horizontal
 Identify parts of the drawing such as horizon line, vanishing point, converging lines
 Draw 3 cubes from a single-point perspective (vanishing point)
 Understand the difference between orthographic and isometric drawings
 List relevant activities or careers that involve drafting or CAD

INTRODUCTION:

 Introduce students to topic

 2

BODY:
 Finished example of cubes exercise
 Perspective
o What does it mean?
o Point of view -> distance away, angle of viewing, etc
 3D
o 3 dimensions -> length, width, height
o 2D vs 3D objects
o 2D uses length and width, 3D uses all 3
 Drafting types
o Isometric
o Orthographic
o Relevant examples
 Field of view
o Why do things look small when you’re looking from far away?
o Angle of light hitting eye (not 90°)
 Perspective
o 1 pt, 2pt, 3pt
o Multiple examples
o Students may point out examples in real life
 Relevancy
o What can you do with it?
o Engineering, landscape architecture, video game design, woodworking projects, digital art
 Key terms
o Parallel, perpendicular, horitonzal, vertical, converging lines, vanishing point, horizon line
 Tutorial
o Hand out template and have students follow along with projector

CONCLUSION/SUMMARY:

 Summarize the lesson (recap)

 Ask questions to ensure student understanding
o What are the 3 dimensions?
o What is an orthographic projection?
o Why do things look small when they are far away?

EVALUATION: Assignment will be graded.

ASSIGNMENT: Complete the dotted line exercise on 1-point perspective.
