Instructional Plan for Teaching Perspective to a 7th Grade Art Class

Unit Title: One- and Two-Point Perspective	Day 1	Day 2	Day 3
Lesson Plan Title	Introducing One Point Perspective	Introducing Two-Point Perspective	The use of perspective in a street drawing
Learning Goal	2.0 I will understand what perspective is.  I will be able to draw a box in one-point perspective.  I will know the terms vanishing point and horizon line. 3.0 I will be able to apply one-point perspective to multiple rectangular shapes. 4.0 I will apply what I have learned about one-point perspective and create a box with a hole in it.	2.0 I will remember what perspective is along with the terms vanishing point and horizon line.  I will be able to draw a cube using two-point perspective and be able to compare the drawing I did last class with the two-point perspective cube drawing. 3.0 I will know how to apply what I have learned about two-point perspective and draw multiple size boxes correctly using 2-point perspective. 4.0 I will create a drawing using my initials or name in 2-point perspective.	2.0 I will draw a basic landscape/city scene using 2-point perspective.  I will understand point of view. 3.0 I will correctly draw a street scene using two-point perspective.    My drawing will include multiple size objects that demonstrate what I have learned. 4.0 I will create a drawing that shows a sound understanding of perspective.  My street scene will include windows, signs etc. all drawn towards the vanishing point.
Daily Essential Question	What is one-point perspective and how do I use it when I draw?	What is two-point perspective and how do I use it when I create a drawing?	How do I use what I have learned about perspective to create a street scene?
Formative Assessment	Completion of 2 drawings from the lesson.  One will have demonstrated correct one-point perspective on a cube.  Second worksheet will show understanding of applying perspective to multiple random rectangular shapes.	Correctly drawing multiple boxes using two-point perspective.	Review of student’s street drawing for correct understanding of perspective.
