Learning Objectives

1

Understand basic one-point perspective principles

2

Create a 3D name design using perspective techniques

3

Recognize how God designs complexity with intentional structure

Proverbs 3:19

Yahweh by wisdom founded the earth. By understanding, he established the heavens.

Proverbs 3:19 (WEB)

Just as God used intentional design in creating the world, we can use perspective techniques to create structured, dimensional art

📦 Materials Needed

  • Drawing paper

Lesson Plan

1Opening (5 min)

Review previous perspective lessons and demonstrate how letters can look 3D

💭 Review Question: What did we learn about vanishing points yesterday?
2Teaching (10 min)

Demonstrate step-by-step process of creating 3D block letters

📌 Key Talking Points:
  • Identify horizon line
  • Place vanishing point
  • Draw block letter outline
  • Add perspective lines
  • Create 3D effect
💬 Discussion Questions:
  • How might perspective help us see things differently?
  • What other things look different from various angles?
3Activity: Perspective Name Art (20 min)
hands-on

Students create 3D block letter name design using one-point perspective

📝 Instructions:
  1. Draw horizon line on paper
  2. Mark vanishing point
  3. Lightly sketch block letters
  4. Add perspective lines from letter edges to vanishing point
  5. Create 3D depth by connecting lines
  6. Add shading for dimension
🔄 Variations:

Simpler: Use larger letters, fewer details

Challenge: Add background elements in perspective

4Closing (5 min)

Share artwork, discuss perspective principles

📝 Review Questions:
  • What made your letters look 3D?
  • How is perspective like God's design?

Coming up: Tomorrow we'll explore perspective in room design
