This is what I give my students at the beginning of the project to let them see what is required of them and how to best pace themselves. It also includes reflection questions for the students to complete after the project is finished.

THE PLAN
5 sessions; 50 minutes per session
1.) SWBAT draw a correct one-point pespective architectural rendering of a hallway, with a "dream" theme of their choosing.
1.) Pencil
2.) Drawing Paper (thick enough to support Acrylic if you want students to paint)
3.) Acrylic Paint
4.) Assorted sizes of brushes
5.) Water containers (for rinsing brushes)
6.) Paper towels
7.) Erasers
1.) Find the center of the paper.
2.) Draw an "x" of intersecting lines from the corners of the paper through the center.
3.) Make a small rectangle around the center, with the lines from the "X" intersecting the corners of the rectangle.
4.) Draw lights and floor tiles using a ruler pivoted around the "vanishing point" you just created in the center of the paper.
This resource is one way I assess students. This makes sure that students work EACH day of the project, because they get a participation grade for everyday they work, plus a separate final "creativity" grade.
Students are encouraged to design their hallway as their "dream" hallway, or in other words, what would be in the hallway of the school if they could design it anyway they wanted. Examples I've seen include a grocery store, castle,
or theme park.
