★★★★★This is an excellent resource. Takes the headache out of reinventing the wheel. It gives a closer look at how perspective can be taught, and can be used on the whiteboard if you don't want to photocopy the sheets. Thank you. I'm a fan.

★★★★★Where have you been all of my life? This is incredible. For someone who can't draw anything well - teaching art is scary. The steps are easy to follow and I think the kids will love the lessons.

This Perspective Drawing Art Resource is a low-prep drawing unit for Grades 4 to 8. It teaches one-point perspective, two-point perspective and room interior drawing step by step, so students learn how to create 3D illusions on a 2D surface with no prior experience needed.
Students also learn about the history of perspective drawing and build up to a final creative project with brainstorming, inquiry, peer feedback and reflection. It suits middle school art programs, upper elementary enrichment and homeschool art.

- PowerPoint Presentation: a 20-slide visual guide covering perspective history and two-point perspective step-by-step drawing
- Lesson Plan (2 pages): learning goals, outcomes, materials and a "Teacher Does / Student Does" format
- Rubric for the final project
- Student Workbook Pages: Title Page, What I Know About Perspective Drawing, What is Perspective Drawing?, History of Perspective Drawing, One-Point Cube Perspective (step by step), One-Point Perspective (step by step), Two-Point Perspective (step by step), One-Point Room Interior Drawing (step by step), Inquiry: Perspective Drawing, Art Project Research Page, Brainstorm Page for Final Project, Reference Image Collage Page, Rough Draft Page, Perspective Reflection Page, Peer Feedback Sheet and Student/Teacher Evaluation Form
HOW TO USE IT
