Name:  Kyle Garcia

     

School:  School, District, and State

 

Lesson/Unit Title:  Lego Perspective Drawing

     

Lesson/Unit Overview: Apply the concept of ratios to find correct heights of objects as they recede in space, and create drawings in perspective based on these ratios. This lesson will help students to see how math can be used to understand logical relationships between objects in perspective drawing.     

 

Grade Level:   High (9 – 12)

   

Media Type:  Black & Grey Scale

     

Duration:  6 Week for 50 minutes a day.

 

Entry Point For Generating Lesson/Unit Ideas:  Learn how to create artificial perspective in two dimensions and three dimensions.

     

Media: Ruler, 24x30 paper, pencil.

   

Subject Matter: Perspective Drawing

     

Concepts: Creating 2D & 3D perspective drawings.

   

-Teach students how to construct a 2D & 3D perspective drawing.

-Look at lego figures that have accurate perspective and inaccurate perspective.

See if the students can find the difference.

-Use the methods from this lesson to find the ratios between the rows of tiles. Then, compare the figures and objects in the painting to those ratios. Are they correct?

 

Enduring Ideas: Students will learn how to create 2D & 3D perspective drawings.

 

Theme: Perspective Drawing.

 

Rationale: Teaching perspective drawing is important for the students so they can understand how real life objects are made.

     

Objectives: Learn how to apply a ratio, in the form of a decimal, to a measurement, to find a new measurement.

 

Objective(s) for Planning:  The students will learn and then demonstrate how visual perspective is based on lego figures.

 

Objective(s) for the Product(s):  Students will begin to be able to determine analytically how to make objects recede toward the background in 2-dimensional art.

     

Objective(s) for Student Reflection: Knowledge objectives that measure student understanding: personal message/meaning, understanding of the relationship with the artist or theme, the process and media used, the technical skills that were gained.

 

Examples of Objective(s) for Student Reflection:

• Students will share results of an “architectural detail hunt” based on the architecture identified at school and in the community.
• Students will write a summary and present their final Architectural Pattern project to classmates, stating which styles they used, what color scheme they chose, and how emphasis was created.

     

Assessment: Did the student demonstrate his or her understanding of linear perspective by tracing the implied lines in three paintings to find the vanishing point? Did the student successfully draw an object using linear perspective?

 

Assessing student planning:  Formative assessments that measure idea generation, refinement of plans, and choice making in relation to making a product.  These can take the form of checklists, sketchbooks, or planning sheets.

 

Examples of Assessing Student Planning:

• Identify four different architectural details found in local buildings and record them on a worksheet.
• Select and arrange at least four details from the worksheet as well as two other sources onto a six-inch square.

     

 

Assessing student products:  Summative assessments that measure the application of skills, media, and art concepts in a product generated as a result of the lesson.

 

Examples of Assessing Student Products:

·        Do all vanishing lines go back to the vanishing point?

·        Are all vertical lines perpendicular to the horizon line?

·        Are details added to enhance the realism? Are all vanishing lines thoroughly erased?

·        Did they use their class time wisely?     

 

Assessing student reflections:  Summative assessments that measure student understanding of personal message/meaning, understanding of the relationship with the artist or theme, the process and media used, the technical skills that were gained.  These can take the form of checklists, brief constructed responses, peer assessments, etc.

 

 

Examples of Assessing Student Reflections:

• Explain why you chose this particular color scheme and how you used it to create emphasis for your pattern.
• Discuss the architectural details you chose in your pattern and why you felt they would make a good pattern.

          

Materials: Paper, ruler, pencils

 

Procedure:

 

Motivation

Students will learn to draw in perspective using mathematical processes they can perform independently and apply later.

 

Instruction

Explain art historical significance of artificial perspective

Explain why a ratio works to find new measurements.

 

Modeling

Display reproductions of lego figures

Revive, Contemplate, and Integrate

 

Guided Practice

Students will construct lego figures, and follow instructions to complete activitypages to solve the problem (first and second activity page.

 

 Independent Practice

Students use a blank page to create their own perspective drawing. In this drawing, students will have an opportunity to exercise artistic decision making skills and express personal meaning.  

 

Differentiated Instruction: Each student will be given same lesson. The lesson is broken down so that each student can learn it simply.
