This is a lesson is an interesting twist on one-point perspective. Students draw shapes in one-point perspective and create something to wind through the shapes. My 6th grade students have done this lesson with much success and many creative ideas.

THE PLAN
5 sessions; 50 minutes per session
1.SWBAT draw in one-point perspective
2.SWBAT use value when coloring 3-D shapes
3. SWBAT think creatively.
1. 12x18 drawing paper
2. Ruler
3. Colored Pencils
4. Pencil
5. Black Sharpie (optional)
6. Color Sticks (optional)
After practicing how to draw different shapes in 1-point perspective students are ready to begin this lesson.
1. Introduce project and as a group brainstorm ideas of things that could wind though (fishing line, yarn, kite string, ect...) We do this together on the board.
2. After choosing an idea draw a minimum of 5 shapes on the paper. Spread them around. (this also could be done in sketchbook first)
3. Create a vanishing point somewhere in the middle of paper. Draw lightly.
4. Draw shapes in perspective.
5. Add object(s) that winds though shapes. Discuss how to add the holes and demonstrate on the board how to properly wind things in and out. The circles for the holes change depending on one side of the 3-d form.
6. Share drawing with teacher. I generally look it over before they color.
7. Using colored pencils, color picture. Discuss how to choose a light source and add value. Sharpie can be added to outline and/or darken the holes.
20 points for each of the following:
1. Creativity
2. Effort/Participation
3. Craftsmanship
4. Following Directions
5. Overall Artistic Appearance.
This has been one of my most successful 6th grade perspective lessons. They don't struggle like they do with room and hallway drawings. I think it is helpful it builds upon the classroom worksheets we do.
