Grade: 9th – 12th
Length of Class Period: 55 minutes
Frequency of Class Period: five days a week
Time Needed: five class periods
Facility & Equipment Requirements:
- One computer lap top
- Room with good lighting
- Large tables, approximately ten, each seating four students
- Two sinks
- Dry erase board
- Drying racks
- Cabinets for storage
- Projector for viewing computer video, CDs and DVDs
Resources Needed:
- Power Point about ghost towns
- Power Point about 2 point perspective
- Two-Point Perspective worksheet.
Materials Per Student:
- Nice white drawing paper
- Colored pencils
- Ruler
- Newsprint
Vocabulary/Terminology:
- Two-point perspective - A graphical technique in which a three-dimensional object is represented in two dimensions, and in which parallel lines in two of its dimensions are shown to converge towards two vanishing points
- Negative space - in a painting or sculpture, the areas where there are no objects
- Positive space - the primary subject matter in a work of art, as opposed to the background that is called the negative space.
- Ghost town – is an abandoned city.
Motivation- Looking and Talking Activity: Students will view a Power Point about Ghost Towns and take part in a classroom discussion about old western architecture building types.
Step-by-Step Studio Activity Specifics:
- Students will view and listen to the teacher’s Power Point presentation about ghost towns.
- Students will view the teacher demonstration about two-point perspective.
- Students will fill out a two-point perspective worksheet.
- Students will practice drawing out their ideas on newsprint first.
- Students will design and draw their own version of a ghost town.
- Students may include “ghost” drawings within their project as long as they have already drawn their buildings in correct two-point perspective.
- Students will color their drawing with colored pencils filling at least fifty percent of the drawing with color.
Health & Safety Concerns: There are no health and safety concerns for this project.
Cleanup Time & Strategy: Students will be instructed to put away art materials neatly in their containers, clean off their tables, and recycle their trash two minutes prior to dismissal.
Assessment: A formal assessment/grading rubric sheet is included along with this lesson plan.
