The document outlines a lesson plan for teaching students one-point perspective drawing. It includes watching a DVD on optical illusions to introduce the concept. Students will then practice one-point perspective techniques by drawing oversized flash cards before creating their own 3D drawing of an art studio using one-point perspective. Materials needed include drawing paper, pencils, erasers, and color pencils.

1. 1. TEKS : 117.35 1a & 2a
Objective:
TSW demonstrate their understanding of one-point perspective by drawing the art room in one-point perspective.
2. Big Understandings
• Rely on perceptions of the environment developed through increasing visual awareness and sensitivity to surroundings, memory, and the experience for creating artworks
3. Assessment Evidence:
TSW create a 3-D drawing of the Art Studio, using one point perspective
4. Opening Hook:
Watch DVD: Empire of the Eye: The Magic of Illusion by the National Gallery of Art, Washington
Demonstrate a one-point perspective drawing on the dry erase board.
TSW create a one-point perspective drawing following oversize flash cards.
5. Instructional Strategies/Student Activities:
After reviewing the basic mathematical principles involved in one-point perspective and practicing other techniques that help to create the illusion of depth (atmospheric perspective, overlapping, relative size, placement on the picture plane, etc.) TSW draw a 3-dimensional room in one-point perspective
6. Materials/Resources:
Empire of the Eye: The magic of Illusion DVD 8 ½ x 11 sheet of drawing paper 12 inch ruler
Eraser
Pencil Color Pencils
7. Grouping Patterns:
Heterogeneous groups
8. Ending, Summary/Reflection
TSW begin looking for a variety of toys including blocks, Legos, playing cards, dice, jacks, chess pieces, etc. and bring them to class for the next art lesson.
