Materials

Drawing paper, Pencils, Erasers, Rulers, and Worksheet: Drawing with Perspective

Step 1

Introduction to Perspective

5 mins

  • Explain what perspective is: a technique used to represent 3D objects on a 2D surface.
  • Discuss why understanding perspective is important in drawing.
  • Show a simple example of a drawing with perspective.

Step 2

Demonstration

10 mins

  • Demonstrate how to draw a simple object (e.g., a cube) using one-point perspective.
  • Highlight key steps: drawing a horizon line, placing vanishing points, drawing lines to vanishing points, and adding details.
  • Encourage students to ask questions if they are uncertain about any step.

Step 3

Guided Practice

10 mins

  • Hand out the worksheet 'Drawing with Perspective'.
  • Guide students step-by-step through drawing another simple object using one-point perspective.
  • Provide support as needed and ensure each student follows along.

Step 4

Independent Practice

15 mins

  • Ask students to choose their own simple objects to draw using the perspective technique learned.
  • Walk around the room to offer individual assistance and feedback.
  • Encourage creativity in the objects they choose.

Step 5

Closure and Review

5 mins

  • Review the key concepts of perspective drawing.
  • Ask students to share their drawings and explain how they used perspective.
  • Praise students for their efforts and creativity.
  • Collect worksheets to review their progress.

Worksheet

Drawing with Perspective

This worksheet will guide students through drawing objects using one-point perspective, reinforcing the concepts learned in the lesson.

Draw a horizon line across your paper.








Place a vanishing point on the horizon line.








Choose a simple object (e.g., a cube). Draw the front face of the object.








Draw lines from the corners of the front face to the vanishing point.








Complete the object by drawing the back faces and erasing unnecessary lines.








Add details and shading to make the object look more realistic.
