### Lesson Outline:
#### Introduction: (10 Minutes)
1. **Greeting and Attendance:**
- Brief roll call and greeting.
2. **Review Previous Lesson:**
- Briefly recap what was covered in the previous session, relating it to the current topic.
3. **Introduction to Perspective Drawings:**
- Define perspective drawings and their importance in technical drawing.
- Show examples of single-point and two-point perspective drawings to illustrate the concept.
- Discuss real-world applications (e.g., architecture, engineering, interior design).
#### Instructional Procedures:
1. **Principles of Perspective Drawing: (20 Minutes)**
- **Vanishing Point:**
- Explain the concept of the vanishing point.
- Describe how objects appear smaller as they get further away.
- **Horizon Line:**
- Discuss the horizon line and its role in perspective drawing.
- **Picture Plane:**
- Introduce the picture plane and its significance in creating realistic drawings.
2. **Single-Point Perspective: (20 Minutes)**
- **Step-by-Step Guide:**
- Draw a horizon line.
- Place a single vanishing point on the horizon line.
- Draw a simple object (e.g., a box) using the vanishing point.
- **Class Activity:**
- Students replicate the single-point perspective drawing on their paper.
3. **Two-Point Perspective: (20 Minutes)**
- **Step-by-Step Guide:**
- Draw a horizon line.
- Place two vanishing points on opposite ends of the horizon line.
- Draw a simple object (e.g., a box) using the two vanishing points.
- **Class Activity:**
- Students replicate the two-point perspective drawing on their paper.
#### Guided Practice: (20 Minutes)
- **Group Activity:**
- Divide students into small groups.
- Assign each group to create a perspective drawing of a simple object (e.g., a cube, cylinder).
- Circulate through the classroom to offer guidance and feedback.
#### Conclusion: (10 Minutes)
1. **Review and Recap:**
- Summarize the key points of the lesson: vanishing point, horizon line, single-point, and two-point perspective.
2. **Q&A Session:**
- Allow students to ask questions to clarify any doubts.
3. **Assignments:**
- Assign homework to practice by drawing an object of their choice in both single-point and two-point perspective.
- Inform students of the next topic to be covered in the subsequent class: Three-Point Perspective.
4. **Closing Remarks:**
- Encourage students to practice regularly to improve their technical drawing skills.
- Appreciate their participation and progress.
