Architecture House Drawings Lesson Plan

Objectives

Students will draw a detailed 2 point perspective architectural house with pencil and then outline it with sharpie. Draw 2 sides of the house! They then will add color or outline with Sharpie.

The students will:

Use the whole page
Draw a house accurately
Use rulers to draw straight lines.
Show accurate 2 point perspective.

Art Standards

Anchor Standard 2: Organize and develop artistic ideas and work.

Anchor Standard 3: Refine and complete artistic work.

Vocabulary

Horizontal Line: the horizon is where the land (or sea) and sky meet. In painting perspective, it's the level your eyes are at, an imaginary line to which things recede.

Linear Perspective:The illusion of depth, representing three-dimensional objects and space on a two-dimensional surface by means of intersecting lines that are drawn vertically and horizontally and that recede from one point (one-point perspective) two points (two-point perspective) or several points on a horizon line as perceived by a viewer.

One Point perspective: the drawing has a single vanishing point

Two Point Perspective: is a type of linear perspective. In two-point perspective, there exist two points from which an object’s lines recede from; the sides of the object vanish to one of two vanishing points on the horizon line.

Orthogonal Lines: Perspective diagonal lines that point to the vanishing point.

Parallel: side by side lines and having the same distance continuously between them.

Recede: go or move back or further away

Vanishing Point: a point on the horizon line where the orthogonal lines appear to meet.
