Day Seven: Architectural Drawing Quiz

Author: Kathryn Maxwell
Grade Level: Art Class Grade 8

Indiana Educational Standards: Visual Arts Standards 3 and 4 (Criticism), 7 and 10 (Production)

 8.3.1

Rationale:  Students have seen and discussed slides about architectural styles, written and defined architecture vocabulary, drawn motifs of architectural elements, drawn and labeled examples of architectural elements on a computer "Paint" program, and created a step-by-step architectural drawing in two-point perspective. Therefore, after reviewing the information gleaned from the above-mentioned lessons, the student should be able to successfully complete the architectural drawing quiz with 70% accuracy.

Objective: Given architectural terms, the student should be able to draw visual examples of the listed terms with 70% accuracy.

Introduction:  We have spent a week discussing, defining, and drawing about architecture: its styles, vocabulary, and structural elements. Today we are to take a drawing quiz. You will receive a handout with boxes drawn on it. There is an architectural term in each box. Correctly draw an example of that term in the box provided. Please write your name on your paper.

 8.10.1

Activity:  Students are to draw to the best of their ability examples of the architectural terms listed in the boxes on the "Architectural Drawing Quiz." They may use rulers, pencils, and erasers. They may not use their notes from previous lessons.

  • Pencil
