### Lesson Plan: Perspective Drawing
**Subject**: Basic Technology
**Grade Level**: Junior Secondary 3 (Grade 9)
**Duration**: 80 Minutes
#### Learning Objectives:
1. Understand the concept and importance of perspective drawing.
2. Identify different types of perspective (one-point, two-point, and three-point perspective).
3. Learn basic techniques to create a one-point perspective drawing.
4. Apply the learned techniques to create a simple one-point perspective drawing.
#### Materials Needed:
- Pencils
- Erasers
- Rulers
- Drawing Paper
- Examples of perspective drawings (Prints or digital)
- Projector or whiteboard for demonstrations
#### Classroom Setup:
Arrange the students' desks in rows facing the front where demonstrations will be conducted. Ensure each student has enough space to lay out their drawing materials.
#### Lesson Flow:
**1. Introduction (10 minutes)**
- Greet the students and briefly introduce the topic of the day.
- Use a projector or whiteboard to show examples of perspective drawings.
- Explain the concept of perspective in art: how it gives a three-dimensional feeling to two-dimensional drawings.
**2. Explanation of Basic Concepts (15 minutes)**
- Discuss the importance of perspective in drawing and technical drawings.
- Explain the types of perspective:
- **One-Point Perspective**: The simplest form, where all parallel lines converge at a single point in the distance (vanishing point).
- **Two-Point Perspective**: More complex, with lines converging at two points on the horizon line.
- **Three-Point Perspective**: The most complex, adding a third vanishing point, often used for extreme views or tall structures.
**3. Demonstration of One-Point Perspective (15 minutes)**
- Demonstrate how to draw a simple box using one-point perspective:
1. Draw a horizon line across the paper.
2. Place a vanishing point on the horizon line.
3. Draw a simple shape (like a square) in the foreground.
4. Connect the corners of the shape to the vanishing point with straight lines.
5. Draw horizontal and vertical lines to complete the shape’s sides.
6. Erase the construction lines to reveal the final box.
**4. Guided Practice (20 minutes)**
- Distribute drawing materials to the students.
- Guide them through drawing their own one-point perspective box step-by-step, mirroring the demonstration.
- Walk around the classroom, providing individual assistance and feedback where needed.
**5. Independent Practice (15 minutes)**
- Ask the students to create another one-point perspective drawing independently, this time drawing a more complex shape like a cube structure or room interior.
- Encourage creativity while maintaining the accuracy of perspective lines.
**6. Review and Conclusion (5 minutes)**
- Review key concepts of perspective drawing.
- Showcase some students’ works and discuss what went well and what can be improved.
- Summarize the lesson and answer any remaining questions.
**7. Assignment (Optional)**
- Ask students to bring a simple everyday object from home and draw it using one-point perspective for the next class.
#### Assessment:
- Observe students during guided and independent practice to ensure they understand and apply the techniques correctly.
- Collect the final drawing for a quick review and provide individual feedback.
#### Reflection:
- At the end of the lesson, take notes on what went well and areas for improvement for future lessons. Consider student engagement, understanding, and the effectiveness of the materials and teaching techniques used.
