Grade: 9-12 Curriculum Area: Visual Art Unit of Study/Art history/Cultural context: Perspective; Van Van Gogh and Wyeth; Byzantine; Architecture/Interior Design SPI's/Standards of Art: Art: TN: 1.1.1-1.1.4, 1.3.1-.1.3.4, 1.4.1-1.4.4, 2.1.1-2.1.4, 4.1.1, 4.1. 1, 5.1.1, 6.2.1 (math)
Objectives: Objectives :
The student will compare and contrast the work of Wyeth and Van Gogh, and works from the Byzantine period, to understand perspective. perspective. (2.3) The student will define terms relating to perspective. (2.1) The student will construct an accurate drawing of an interior space using one-point perspective. (2.1.4) The student will add value to their drawings using color. (1.1.1) The student will write an “artist statement” describing the element of art they just covered and describe their interior room (e.g. why they chose certain items). (5.1.1)
Materials: Materials:
Copy paper (exercise) 18x24” Paper (project) Pencils Erasers Rulers/Protractors Colored Pencils
Assessment Strategies: Strategies:
Questions and responses during presentation presentation to show understanding. Individual monitoring during practice (double-check comprehension). Rubric for the final project: scoring based on how well Objectives were met in the project. (For example, if all the objectives are met, extra creativity is shown in their interior rooms, student wrote a well-thought out artist statement that includes vocabulary, and behaved well/gave good effort, they will receive an A.) The results of the project will determine how the next lesson of using Two-point Perspective will be approached. (If objectives aren’t met, spend more time on Introduction and Demonstration of Perspective.) At the end of the semester, the final exam will include questions about Perspective.
Guided Learning Steps:
PowerPoint Presentation – Allows Allows students to interpret and analyze the technique of creating perspective in an artwork. artwork. Questions Questions will demonstrate demonstrate comprehensio comprehension, n, using examples examples to compare and contrast features, as well as check understanding of terms and technique. Starting with the basics of drawing several boxes using 1-point Demonstration/Guided Practice – Starting perspective. perspective. Each step step will be checked for accuracy accuracy.. Builds in complexity by adding more (stacking (stacking on top), followed by two worksheets to practice on different-shaped objects. (Project) [3 days] – days] – Draw Draw an interior room using one-point perspective, perspective, adding Individual Practice (Project) [3 features seen in their own rooms or creating a “dream” room (making it relevant to them). They will color in their final drawings, showing value as utilized in previous lessons to create a realistic representation representation of their rooms. Reflection – Students – Students will write an “Artist Statement” (small essay) explaining the process and design choices they made.

(Correct measurements, realistic sense of space, shown to clients.)
3. How do you show perspective and depth in a drawing? Vocab: horizon line, vanishing point(s), horizontal/vertical/orthogonal lines.
4. How can color be used to create a sense of space? Define intensity and intensity and neutral tones. tones. Explanation using PowerPoint and student examples.
