This lesson is part of the Painting Unit that precedes the Landscape Painting Lesson. It will be presented as a mini lesson to introduce the students to a refresher of knowledge on linear perspective and space. Students will observe and discuss visual artworks that show a variety of spatial features including interior, exterior, landscape, and architecture. 

 

Most students have prior knowledge of linear perspective from elementary art. Some students show greater recall of 1 or 2 point perspective methods from Art I Foundations. Students are prompted to create an architectural or landscape drawing using linear perspective to honor a “place” in their community. This might be a favorite place, a place where they have experienced joyful memories, or even a historical place.
