Picture
​Perspective: 
Essential question: What is a vanishing point? What is a horizon line? What is perspective and what does it achieve? 
 How will we know if they’ve learned it? 
Students will have a final masterpiece and the skills to create other works if necessary at a more advanced level.  
What will we do if they don’t learn it?
Students will be re-taught and can utilized videos to re-work missing elements of their assignment. 
 What will we do if they have / have already learned?
Students can always go above and beyond the instructions to create a more challenging experience. 
My students understand and can… by the end of the lesson
Will have the basic and intermediate knowledge of one and two point perspective.

Please watch the following video to create a one point perspective city scene. 

You will create an interesting city scene, Using the basics you will create a generic street overlook, then you will determine where your city is located. Is it in a rural area in China?
